all soccer fans out there who are fans of the highly aclaim managerial series Championship Manager take note... The latest installment in the series has just released its demo!!! woohoo... Football Manager 2005 demo is out... FM2005 as its now called... for those who dunno the story about why the name changes, heres why:
SI Games and Eidos were the makers of the successful CM series... but their contract expired this year and SI decided not to renew the contract... instead, they sign a contract wif Sega to publich the next edition of CM... SI and Eidos came to a agreement that SI would keep the programming codes for the AI and player databases while Eidos keep the brand name Championship Manager... so SI came up with a new name called Football Manager... while Eidos will still release CM juz that it will be very much different...
anyway... enuff of history... i downloaded the demo in school yesterday and transferred it home... installed it today and for the entire day, my eyes were glued to the computer screen playing the demo... all i can say is tat the game is amazing!!! its definitely far better than its predecessor... the new version allows you to praise or flame other manager before a game (watch out arsene wenger =P)... the match engine has also improve a lot and the real life aspect in the game is almost identical to that of the real world... u can really ask your team to go all out for the points... just like wat i did in the charity shield match when i was down 4-0 to arsenal and came back to draw 5-5... amazing ain't it... the only bad thing i have to say is the processing time... its takes longer than usual... mayb coz of the larger player databases???
well, the game gonna be release on november 5th... i'm definitely marking that date on my calendar and counting down the days be4 its release... can't wait... ;D
