LMA Manager 2005

LMA Manager 2005 is as realistic as I could have hoped for without ever getting too bogged down in tedious detail about how many replica scarfs the club has sold this week. You can delegate most of the administrative tasks.

Very addictive. I imagine the genre cannot get much better on PS2.

I've always been a big fan of football management games and this latest update in the LMA manager series is by far the best games console management game ever. The level of details on player stats, teams and youth teams is incredible, this update now features a fully 3d match engine which helps you see how your team is performing on the pitch. If you're ps2 is able to go on-line you can also download the new players and stats in January which helps to keep the game up to date.

This game is quite hard so don't expect to be winning every game 3-0 straight away - I've been playing for a couple of seasons now and I still get a trouncing from teams like Everton or Tottenham every now and again.

This game contains all the teams from the British Leagues, including the conference, and the top European clubs. I would definitely recommend this game to any football fan who owns a playstation2. If you do own a pc though I would still recommend Football Manager - that game is in a league of its own.
