After spending a while playing FIFA 2005, I find myself craving something a little "deeper" from a football game. I'm interested in the idea of Football Fusion, linking the ability of playing the matches in FIFA with the management aspects of Total Club Manager, BUT . . . is it any good? Or can anyone recommend anything with the same sort of depth?

Before anyone suggests Pro Evo, I do have that, and to be honest, as I only play my Xbox 2 or 3 times a week, hearing "Old Firm Green" or "East London" or "Midlands Village" kind-of takes away from the overall feel for me!

Well, purchases Total Club Manager 2005 for £10 from eBay, so I'll get to find out for myself what Football Fusion really is like!

I have a question - it says one of the features of TCM 2005 is the ability of creating your own team, with their own kit and own name - can you still use this for Football Fusion?

Well, that's the joys of having a full-time job, and a fiance you live with - the Xbox time takes a beating.

I'm not even going to suggest FIFA is better, gameplay wise, than Pro Evo, because it isn't. I have both, and Pro Evo is clearly superior in that aspect.

However - as I said before, I play my XBox very little, maybe two or three hours a week. Personally, whilst FIFA might not be as "technically correct" as Pro Evo, i find my 10-minute blast on FIFA much more rewarding than a 10-minute blast on Pro Evo.

Everyones opinion is different - I find that, purely for a short blast, the cosmetics and better presentation of FIFA make it a more appealing option than Pro Evo.

if I had 10 hours a day to spend playing Xbox, then obviously I'd eventually switch to the deeper Pro Evo.

If anyone is thinking about putting any football game ahead of Pro Evo, then they're wrong. And sick.

When you import your TCM team into FIFA and play as the team of which you are the manager. It then keeps all the results and records and things in TCM.
