    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.

    Is it just me or am I just a great manager? Within 5 seasons I can get the worst second division team into Europe. Although I love it to try it over and over again with each new version, it irritates I seem to succeed again in 2006. (2nd season now, ready to promote).

  1. The best version of the best football management game ever made... The best just got better. Again.
  2. 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.
  3. It’s far closer to the seasonal updates that interspersed the "Championship Manager" series. That said the list of enhancements do make a great game even better and will be fully appreciated by the fanatics.
