The graphics and 3D soccer engine are pretty swish, allowing you to see your team in action. Bad, because only the hardcore fans will love the minute details. Good, in that hardcore fans will no doubt love the minute details.

It’s detailed, full of options right down to the nitty gritty things most people would care less about. So, in the words of someone who actually plays football management games:įIFA Manager 09 is good, but not worthy of greatness. I’ve summarised his football geek rhetoric into relevant points of view about the game. There was only one thing for it - rope in one of the lager lads I knew in Auckland who was football mad. However I can’t do the developers, nor the genuine fans a disservice, so it’s only fair to do a proper review. I’d wager many people won’t even read this review, simply because it’s not their cup of tea. I don’t get football management games, I just don’t. I suddenly felt endeared to FIFA if my home town, oft mocked and unknown internationally, could be found deep in the bowels of a billion dollar franchise simulator.īut I knew it was futile. Even better, one or two of those names were people from my High School. I had had some joy, as I discovered that even the dirty old Waikato football club was in the game. I didn’t dislike the game, as I didn’t know enough about how it was supposed to work. It wasn’t long before I realised that this was going to require the use of the worst cliché in the reviewing world. I discovered that I could change my team philosophy, training styles, management styles etc, But I couldn’t get anything to actually happen. I seemed to move ahead days in the calendar, without actually achieving anything. Personally, the measure of a good interface is one you can use intuitively. Unsure how any of this was relevant (read the manual? Nah!). I made a manger, set up his back story and all his details, including his marital status. My hopes of some sort of Sims-style game had been dashed. I was missing the point, it was a simulation game, effectively a statistics number cruncher. The reality is you’ll spend most of your time in menus, changing options. It didn’t fee like I was actually ‘playing’ anything. It felt a bit like I was setting up the graphics and audio settings in a typical EA game. Every button I clicked brought up a new screen, or half screen, with more options.

It would seem the powers that be didn’t take a shine to my cheeky hints at getting another PC game. After all, I like micro management aspects of RTS games, I’ve enjoyed the odd multiplayer FIFA 08 game, and it’s a PC title for once (that’s right, Ed, let me guess who gets to review Diablo III?). I thought, hey, I’ve never played one of those manager type games before, maybe I’ll discover a previously untapped gaming genre for myself. The opportunity came up to review FIFA Manager 09 maybe a month back. As early as 1923 Penzer noted that 'the edition in parts was soon exhausted, and is now practically unobtainable.'
