How people can get paid to make a game, then these people pay other people to test it and it still have some shocking flaws is unbelievable. EA Sports should be doing better. I have been with the TCM/FA Premier League Manager series since it started and have bought it every year. This, however, is my final purchase. Why? The interface is OK, similar to its predecessors and the out of game realism is good. But why oh why is 3D Match so rubbish??? I have never seen such shambolic garbage in my life!!! There are huge flaws in this mode which is my personal favourite. I am note sure how good the 2005 version is but it surely, surely has to be better than this tripe.

It is an improvement on the TCM2003 but the 3D AI could be better. There are a few bugs that need to be ironed out like international matches on the same day as Champions League games also using a 4-4-2 formation is terrible. The defender do not cover the center of the pitch. So opposition can make runs down the middle with no covering defender. Overally it is one of the best management games, mainly because it is in 3D. It is not as realistic as some of the other games out there but it is better to watch.

This game is brilliant. It is so realistic. You can play football fusion with it if you have fifa 2004 as well. There is all the leagues in loads of different countries. You can also manage a national team at the same time! I would recommend it to anyone and everyone even if you don't like football that much! You can watch the match, play the match (NEED FIFA 2004) or watch it in text mode. Tell your players when top shoot or let them choose themselves. You can play head-to-head with the computer or your friends. BUY THIS GAME!!!!
