How dare you get enjoyment out of a computer game, RPS is about refined appreciation of the form not crass enjoyment.

I guess I’ll put on my flame-retardant suit and state that I am really enjoying CM2010. It’s the first “manager” game I’ve ever tried, and I think it’s fantastic.

But I will dabble with the others as well, I don’t see any reason to bind myself to a particular brand…And this FIFA one looks to have pretty awesome production values.

“which proves that Football Management games really are trying to avoid that Real Game Footage thing.”

See all those screens with stats, numbers etc etc? Those are ‘real game footage’, I think your talking about footage of the match engine which is only a part of these games. And there are many videos around that do show the match engine of all these games.

Or are you stuck in the arcade FIFA 2010 mode and havent figured out these are a whole different genre? ;p

Die hard Football Manager fan myself, the CM demo really put me off that game. Will I check this one out? Unlikely to be honest :D

I dare say that by now Football Manager has the name as well. If it were any other type of game, it could be argued that after the split, most people were oblivious to it and continued buying the dross that now was Championship Manager, but this is a football managing simulation. It’s a different beast.

I’ll stay far away from Champ Manager, but I’ll probably give FIFA Manager a try. The last few years it’s been a nice game to take a break from Football Manager with. Long term, or even medium term, FM10 will be the king, but FIFA Manager 10 is probably good for a more arcadey experience.

the trailer music was enough to put me off. why is bog standard indie so intertwined with football?
