Well, I've been playing the Football Manager 2005 (TRUE successor to Championship Manager) demo for a while now. I was thinking of buying it. But on February 1st, Winning Eleven 8 (considered the best soccer video game on the market) is coming out. Which one should I get?

I never really got used to CM after CM01/02, too many clicks to do simple things now, too many drop down menus for contract negotiations, player searches and other repetitive actions, its just far too in-depth now and doesnt play well enough yet. Wait for the last in the current series, its always the best. Like CM01/02 was to the CM3 series.
WE8 will give you a lot more fun, even on your own, and last longer. Easy to learn, difficult to master.
If youre buying it for PC just make sure you have a pad with 8 buttons, 2 analogue sticks (with button function) and a d-pad.Call to Power 2: Apolyton Edition - download the latest version (12th June 2011)

X-Box, so no worries
. I was actually juggling buying FIFA 2005 (don't hurt me ) because of all the league tie ins.

Same here. The only thing with the xbox version, is its too much bother to update the game using a maxdrive (I dont have one) or FTP over the updated files to your xbox with an already edited option file from the internet, on PC it's a simple patch. Its great though because they include all the official kits/badges, transfers, names etc, basically what you pay for in FIFA.If youre buying it for PC just make sure you have a pad with 8 buttons, 2 analogue sticks (with button function) and a d-pad.

For all its dodgy team/stadium names though (that takes 30mins to correct yourself) its still a million miles ahead of FIFA in gameplay.Call to Power 2: Apolyton Edition - download the latest version (12th June 2011)

Yeah, I haven't bought a soccer game in ages because FIFA was waaay too arcady. And this is the first year that Winning Eleven 8 is being sold here (same for Footbal Manager/Champ Man, but only limited release this side of the pond).“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Yeah, SEGA is supposedly distributing it, but you can hardly find it anywhere (ie, **** distribution). But I can get it online from Gamestop.com.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

on xbox i've gravitated away from Championship Manager 01/02 to LMA manager 2005.
The only reason this happened was because in LMA you get a match screen where you can watch your team play their matches, and its the best attempt i've seen a football management game do.
On the statistic side of things CM is superior to LMA, but LMA has enough meat to keep me happy, plus since i loved SWOS so much - having that in game match really makes it feel like i'm managing a team and not just some numbers
link for info for xbox CM(you probably know it):
link for xbox LMA 2005(you probably dont - its like an xbox secret ):

FM '05 is pretty good. Its not really that different to the older versions though. A few extra features that are fun for a while are the in-game viewing and media bashing.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

Football Manager (and the last CM) also had/has a pitch view. It's pretty good. And I'd be getting FM 05 for the PC. Don't need text sims on the XBox.

I'm actually now leaning towards getting both (somehow). Though I think I may get Winning Eleven 8 first (on Feb 2nd).“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
