Summary

(Available in the UK/EU only) From the makers of "FIFA Football," Total Club Manager 2005 will pit your football wits against the best managers in the world. Whether you are scrapping for points in a relegation battle, or on the verge of European victory, TCM 2005 will guarantee you feel the pressures of the modern day football manager. A deeper more thorough database (with officially licensed leagues, teams and players), as well as improved tactical realism in a stunning 3D world will allow for a more realistic management experience. The new 3D match engine for 2005 ensures that your players follow the tactics you have set up. With more tactical options and completely new AI, TCM 2005 has the definitive 3D match engine. An all-new 3D highlights package is also included to allow the manager to view key moments in the game. TCM's all new hi-res interface, player stat system and key game modes such as 'Create a Club' further push the boundaries of football management simulation. [Electronic Arts]

If you are looking for a Football Management game with more to see and do than 2D blobs then this is the game for you. If you are looking for a game with far more depth to the player database then look to some of the other competing titles.

And it can be mildly entertaining. Whatever the dot-watching purists maintain, there is something to be said for seeing your centre forward. [PC Zone]

A triumph of style over content in a genre where content is king. [Nov 2004]

I don't know better than this game in its genre, and I know some. Simply the best. I played with One-Nil a lot. Anyone knows it?

Simonas J. gave it a9:
I'd say it's the best manager ewer. thogh it has some weakneses such as database which is much smaller then cm2005. but 3d view and posibility to crate a club of your own makes it much more exiting then other managers. realism - not bad, but not perfect.

Soccer pro is me gave it a4:
Average....small database...good image though...however takes some time to get used to using the buttons and till now i don't know how to but players that are not transfer listed.

Mr G. gave it a0:
I have to say that this is a waste of time and money. The games are a joke, there is nothing semi real about the game and the computer teams are far too easy. Having loved the TCM 2004 I was very shocked at how bad this game is. Get FM 2005 - its hard but gives you a better game.

Joshua P. gave it a9:
Great game and 3D engine makes it better than Championship Manager.

Mohamed R. gave it a10:
