so which football manager game is better?

fifa manger 09 or football manager 2009? or is there some other that is better? last time i played one of these games was champ manager 3.

If your looking for sim then FM2009 all the way.

If you want something casual then FIFA is worth a look although you will probably still buy FM2009 anyway.

A big Football Manager fan here, that said it's pretty heavy going so be warned it's time consuming.

FM2009 gets the vote.

i used to play cm3 constant so i would like something along those lines.

Well Sports Interactive who used to make CM now make Football Manager.

Another nod towards FM'09 for me.

That wont prepare you. Its moved on since then. It will seem arcadey to how things are now.

I've always liked the Fifa Manager series - I find it a little more enjoyable than Football Manager.

i just got Football Manager Live through the post, £14 on amazon.co.uk... and you get 4 months free to try!..

if you havent heard its basically football manager but with a proper online structure and you can battle with your team and save and come back to the league.. i havent tried it yet because i know as soon as i start i wont be able to keep track of time and i have work tommorow lol.

There is only one choice really, Football Manager 09.

toon_mad · 5 Feb 2009 at 15:21

it is very complex, make sure you have 2gb ram or more and a cpu higher then at least 2.8ghz, very good game - obafemi martins is quality in it

Football Manager 09, Is the only football management game worth spending your money on.

FM09 is fantastic, shame it depresses me how newcastle players on the game are decent, then i turn on the tv and weep...

Keltik THC · 5 Feb 2009 at 21:45

i just got FM Live today, its quite time consuming! totally random players...

liquidex · 5 Feb 2009 at 22:12

Football Manager series. You will lose days in it...

BassPunk · 5 Feb 2009 at 22:19

Football manager has the stats but Fifa Manager has much more complete gameplay. Im playing both.

SkeeterUK · 5 Feb 2009 at 22:56

Or the player manager game on psx.
