What's the best Football Management game ever?

[Serrrrgio]

Whats the best Football Management game ever? For me its Ultimate Soccer Manager 98/99 Season Edition for the PC! Its very rare now and i had to pay £20 for it on Ebay last year still playing it now..... Any fans of Football Manager or LMA or anything on here??

my favourite one was also ultimate soccer manager.. if i remember correctly it's got a soundtrack to it aswell, some guitars and things playing in the background! and when you're sacked it shows your desk with your stuff in the box.. stupendous!

Championship Manager 2
97/98 edition
Oh how i loved some of those players that were great but were shit in real life

Absolutely! Kinkladze led my City team to glory on many occasions!

Another vote for CM 01/02.

I still have the receipt in the box for it.

The new update will be out in a couple of weeks if people don't know about them.

I remember having the original Championship Manager on the Amiga, where you had a book full of football scores which acted as codes to load a saved game. I lost the book and couldn't play anymore.

Treble Champions on the Spectrum was brilliant for its time, as was Tracksuit Manager, where you managed an international team and had a scrolling commentary on screen.

Think the spectrum game was called The double and it was the first i remember to have actual player names

I've still got the 98-99 version of Championship manager where City are in division 2. Simon Davies, Matthew Etherington, Gavin Holligan and a 17 year old Gareth Jellyman brought in for about £3.5 million, took City to 8-9 Champions Leagues and about 14 titles in 20 years.

The Godfather of all Management games.

A formation of 3 - 3 - 1 - 3 and the world yours, sadly it was pretty buggy.

2-4-4 was a great formation on that one, with the left and right midfielders running back.

The CM Italia was great as well, Caniggia suspended for 52 weeks.

Yes, mate! USM 98 was fucking awesome. These Footballl Manager games take it to another level though. I don't play them anymore, but if a "Football Chairman" ever came out, I'd be on it quicker than a hiccup.
