Summary: Addicting.. but I wish it could be a little better
Comment: This is alright game. Even though I expected improvements, they are still to be made. For example, it is very annoying when team passes forward.. up to the opposing side's goal, ... and suddenly forward or striker passes the ball back (!!) instead of shooting.. what sort of intelligence is it?
Another thing I wish to be improved is the ability to build training complexes and stadiums. I remember playing game '442'. There it had fancy GUI and even the ability to set prices for soda and hot-dogs. In this game, however, I can only ask board for improving the training facilities, or youth training facilities... I wish this game had map, or picture of a stadium, and training facilities, etc.
Otherwise, this game is pretty addicting and fun. In the good legacy of Football Managers. :D

Summary: Failed
Comment: I have played most of the Soccer Manager games even when it was Championship Manager when the game first came out. This version has been the worst. I found the results very unrealistic. No matter what tactics or formations I used I lost most games. My friends have had the same problem. The game has been improved but how wants to play a manager game where you management doesn't change a thing. I hope 2009 is better I love the Soccer Manager Series.

Summary: Great game, but missing something
Comment: The game concept alone is genius and you will probably spend countless hours playing this game when first purchasing it. Although its very good, it can get quite old after a while and the difficulty level becomes very frustrating. Having a great team with great players is not enough to beat a mediocre team. One has to constantly play with tactics and adjust to each team and that can get restless. The information needed to play the game is not provided and has to be found by countless hours in search of it in the internet. At the same time, its a gem.. its the best game in its class and you will find yourself jumping for joy as one of your small circle scores against Manu, real madrid or any other power house in your league. Very addicting and worth the purchase. Fifa manager 09 might be this years diamond, though. I really hope Amazon carries it this year so we can purchase it.

Summary: The Game of Games
Comment: This is for soccer lovers..It gives you a deep knowledge of the world of soccer. It puts you in the driving seat and makes you feel in control.Your decisions count on every front so you would want to make the right one..and remember there is nothing like making decisions and earning sweet victory through them.

Summary: wish i would have played this game sooner
Comment: dumb americans like me aren't that exposed to this game, which is why it took me so long to try it. after all the soccer leagues in europe ended for the summer, i was bored playing FIFA '08 so i thought i'd give this game a try. wow it's the dream game for a nerd like me who spends most of time doing the behind the scenes stuff on FIFA anyway, instead of playing actual games.
i'm impressed with the size of the database and how indepth it can get with youth teams and all. there is just so much to this game it's hard to put it in words. try it for yourself. it's definitely not for everyone. but i found that it's perfect for me.
