I am tearing my hear out trying to make my players run in particular directions in the tactics options as i don't have a right-click button, what in god's name do i do?

KARDINAL  Football Manager 2005 is a massive improvement over CM 03/04 - and SIGames are the company who kept the code and the player research resources after the acrimonious parting of ways between Eidos and SI Games, so while Eidos will continue to publish CM games, Football Manager is the true heir of CM 4. (No doubt there will be hard core fanatics supporting both games, I've already seen references to 'traitors' by people for supporting one over the other - to which I can only say: 'Grow up'.)

The player database has expanded vastly, including new leagues and countries, and the new interface is a vast improvement over the old (although as a long time CM player it took a bit to get used to). The media aspect of the game is much better, and can significantly affect the morale of your players and those of your opponents.

Overall, it's worth every penny, and I recommend it to anyone who's interested in sports management simulators.

ROSS  Football Manager 2005 is the same as the old Champ managers, the only extra is the interaction with the media.

People saying that it is far better than champ manager have no idea what they are talking about. The layout has changed slightly but it is minimal.

The speed of the game has slowed to a snails pace, on the old champ managers you could get a season done in a very small time period, champ manager 4 was very slow and football manager, based on the old database, has slowed down even more.

POZEL  This game is the newest version of Championship Manager, although under a different name, as Eidos have kept this, and created a new game from scratch with the same appearance.

SI games, the creators of CM have pulled out all the stops with this, top beta, and great support on their forums, with updates being made as bugs are reported.

The new features are great, with media interaction and Manager banter is great, and more control over tactics, plus loads more.

this beta is great, and the game looks brilliant and i can't wait for the full version to go gold!

great mac support as well
