Football Manger 2008
Continously since 2001, Sports Interactive is creating a new Football Manager every year. The games is published by Sega and was first sold for their console. The PC version is available since October 2007 now.
The gameplay always stays quite the same: the player is the manager of a football team of his choice and is thus responsible for developpment and success of his favourite squad. The possibilities of the manager are as manifold as in real life: the manager has to sell and buy players. He has to take care of their training. He can evolve skills of every single player in multifarious ways. He is responisible for the finances and has to find some ways to generate income. This could be entrance fee for visitors of the matches, advertising on the football shirts or advertising in the sport field, selling of players, selling stuff for fans or finding a sponsor. Of course, the football stadium has to be extended, when the team becomes more successful and attracts more fans and spectators.
He decides and defines the tactic of his team. The player himself can not really play the matches and get involved by them through a joypad, the controlled team is playing automatically, but the he can now, and this is new in the 2008 version, directly change tactic during the game. He has to react swiftly to events and actions taking place in the match. No more relaxing during the games itself as it used to be in former releases.
Other new features of the game are for example the enhanced possibiites to interact with fans (you can set up special fan days now to improve the relationship between fans and players). The transfers of the players can now be managed from a central station. The financial mechanisms are more sophisticated allowing more kinds of possible interactions and actions. Finally the graphics have been improved and players heads are now displayed in 3D.

As I said in the beginning, there are two sides when it comes to the attitude people have about this game: those who love it and those who would never play it. It's just a matter of taste. I can't say to those who didn't like the other games in the series to go try this one out because it will change their opinion about the game. I definitely can't tell the fans not to try this game, because it's a really good one. It has its flaws and bugs, specially when it comes to... Read more

According to me, Football Manager is a great example of improvement by the years. FM 2007 was good, but 08 is better! This newer version is definitely worth buying, even for owners of Football Manager 2007 (even if it only was to update your rosters). The real-time tactics are a great extra and form a great addition to the possibility of “becoming the manager”, plus it offers a direct visualization of your tactical adjustments. My advice: if you’re interested in socce... Read more

Football Manager 2008
Reviewer: Deaf Gamers09 November 2007- Overall 9
Football Manager 2007 was a sensational football management game and it was always going to be a tough act to follow. Football Manager 2008 is a game that generally sees improvements made in most areas of the game and as such, is a must own for fans of the series. That said, there is no feature that particularly stands out and it's the overall effect that the small improvements have on the game that make the overall package superior to last year's game. There are a ... Read more

Football football football. Does it ever end? If you're not a football fanatic, gaming must sometimes feel like a testosterone-fuelled nightmare. It's everywhere. Whether it be talented Shrek-alike Wayne Rooney not actually doing anything or Newcastle sick-note Michael Owen doing something highly irregular - kicking a ball for his club - it's hard to escape the autumn football game marketing blitz. Now, brace yourself for another virtual footballing stalwart to join t... Read more
