So I bought FM2005 a while back but with exams at the moment I havn't really got into it too much. my brother came home at the weeekend and brought Champ manager 5 and he's been playing them both a bit to see which one he likes the best. But he can't really decide so I thought I'd ask on here which one you lot like the best so that I can play one and let him take the other. :-)

So which is the best and why?

Cheers

FM, for so many reasons.

Better database, better engine, better looks, better design / team behind it.

Plus it's a proper game, that decided not to sell out to Eidos. Rock on, Sports Interactive.

Depends what you want out of a football management game I suppose.
FM2005 certainly has the most depth, CM5 is more accessible I think.
So theres little point in saying 1 or better than the other.

Personally I think sports interactive have taken things too far. If you enjoy staring at stats for hours on end, FM2005 is the game for you.
