  • Summary: (Also known as "Worldwide Soccer Manager 2006") One of the many fan-inspired features to make it into FM 2006 will be that, for the first time, managers will be able to negotiate with their board of directors - not only for a better contract for themselves, but also for improved player wage(Also known as "Worldwide Soccer Manager 2006") One of the many fan-inspired features to make it into FM 2006 will be that, for the first time, managers will be able to negotiate with their board of directors - not only for a better contract for themselves, but also for improved player wage budgets and increased transfer budgets or even stadium expansion. Be aware though, if you push too hard and don't reach the heights that the board specify, you'll soon be looking for a new job. Half-time team talks add the ability to tell your players individually or collectively exactly what you thought of their first half performance, via the tactics screen. Will you be able to keep your players motivated, or will you cause a collapse in the second half? Another welcome feature is the ability to manage players on a personal level. Unhappy players can cause huge morale problems for the whole squad and result in bad performances, so the new Player Interaction feature will help you to manage your team more closely.

    A game that needs lots of processing power, and a good amount of RAM for the best experience. The fact that many gamers will have already upgraded their PC to account for this is testament to the game itself.

    From the Olympics and World Cup down to trying to avoid relegation from Poland’s 2nd League, you can lead your manager to compete anywhere.

    So far ahead, you can't see the competition. [Feb 2006, p.79]

    The second edition in the legendary sports-sim developer’s new soccer management series is every bit as addictive as it predecessor, which is to say that the damn thing should be investigated by the FDA. [Mar 2006, p.52]

    It's imposingly deep and demanding. [Dec 2005 p.89]

    Despite the fact that people may find a level of fun has been lost under the layers of improvements and options, the majority will still find that nothing comes close to quenching that thirst for power that Football Manager so eloquently provides.
  7. Gamer's Hell

    The atmosphere, the realism, the tactical choices, the beautiful goals your players scores, etc. All this aids in making the game as good as it can be.

    I can't believe all this people are giving it a perfect ten! The best game of this series was cm 03-04, and it still is. Those menu I can't believe all this people are giving it a perfect ten! The best game of this series was cm 03-04, and it still is. Those menu changes that came in the 05-version were no good for the game. It seems like SI made those changes only to make any changes. Besides, it runs slow, and all the waiting kills much of the joy playing this game. Still, it's a decent game, it's probably as addictive as earlier cm version (the SI ones) - if you have A LOT of ram and processor speed that is.… Expand
