This thread has been linked to the game 'Football Manager 2005'.
Is dangerously addictive, almost impossibly deep, and is a truly marvellous management spectacle.
It is also frustrating beyond words, often truly ridiculous and is a cause of premature mental instability.
I love Football Manager '05

Won the league but got thrased in the Champs League Semi by Milan.
I have one England-League 1 and above-Extra detail-huge database.
I run quite a few
England, Spain, Italy, Holland, Argentina, Brazil and Portugal with players loaded up from Sweden and Japan as well on a huge database.
England, Spain, Italy, Holland, Argentina, Brazil and Portugal with players loaded up from Sweden and Japan as well on a huge database.
Let's see, how many leagues...
USA
Scottish
English
Spanish
Portuguese
Dutch
Not excessive, I don't think. Also playing with small database. Decided on the freedom of more leagues to manage in over a huge database.
My PC isn't great, was mid-high end when I bought it over two years ago, but things change quickly.
Thing is, CM4 was slow anyway (in comparison) so I don't notice the difference.
So far this season I've played 7 and won 7. My new freebie striker Rajko Lekic has scored 12 in 6.
Also took on the Dutch National team managers job. Started with a 1-0 defeat in Macedonia. Followed that up with a 3-0 win over mighty Leichenstein at home. Had 33 shots on goal. Didn't score until midway through the second half, and I was getting panicy.

Wahey 2nd season is going good so far, undefeated after 6 games, won the super cup thanks to 2 goals from Cavenaghi, decent champs league draw with Inter, Banik Ostrava and Club Brugge (eeeeek Adriano :-D) and my two new signings Tevez and Deisler had a great debut with Tevez getting 2 goals and Deisler 1.
Chelsea have signed Kaka for 51 million and Deco for 18 though :-(

Now I have. Ta. It's made a little difference, but I'm still losing lots of players to injury.
I'm lucky to have gone through agaisnt Roma in the Champs League.
2-0 home win, which was nice and comfortable.
6-4 away defeat having been 3-1 up at half time. Through on away goals...phew.

Have you got "rest day after match" ticked? (Manager --> Options)
