According to Miles Jacobson the MD of SI Games - "Football Manager 2005 will be the most realistic football management game ever." Maintaining the heritage and experience accumulated through 15 years of development as creators of the Championship Manager series of multi-award winning and chart-topping games, the new game will be renamed as part of a fresh branding exercise as Football Manager. Due for release Q4 2004, this year’s edition entitled Football Manager 2005, will see numerous advancements in technology and gameplay, including new tactics, pre- and post-match analysis and other features designed to immerse players further into the game. 
Football Manager 2005 (PC + Mac) - FeaturesUpdated user interface Football Manager’s user interface will look markedly different to anything that has come before. Navigation between screens will be easier, with each screen explaining what information is on offer and how to get to other, related information. Consistency between separate game elements will also be more noticeable than in previous football management games: operations such as player filtering and sorting will now work consistently throughout the game. The game’s look which now includes a two-panel option will also be easily customised, allowing managers to store their preferred views and to return quickly to them.Refined game engine Sports Interactive’s long-standing and award-winning game engine has been refined and tuned in accordance with the feedback received from fans of its previous games. For example, Football Manager 2005 incorporates more than 30 extra fields for player data, including the all-new new ’preferred moves’. Updated database and competition rules As has always been the case with Sports Interactive’s management simulations, Football Manager 2005’s database and competition simulation will be as up-to-date and accurate as is humanly possible. Pre- and post-match information Managers will be presented with enhanced information before and after each match, to show team line-ups, injuries and tactics before the match, and lots of stats about the match afterwards. International player news Managers will receive information on international performances, allowing them follow their players’ careers and ascertain how they are performing at the highest level. Cup summary news Events which unfold in each round of all of the major cup competitions will be delivered to the manager in a news summary. 2D clips from agents Managers are likely to receive ’video clips’ (executed using the game’s acclaimed 2D match engine) of a player’s performances, sent to them by that player’s agent with view to a possible transfer. Coach reports on squads In addition to commenting on individual players, coaches will now offer their opinions on the squad as a whole, thus helping managers to decide which areas of their team need improvement. Job centre for non-playing positions Non-playing jobs will be advertised through an in-game ’Job Centre’, improving the manager’s ability to hire coaches and other staff. Mutual contract termination Managers will be able to offer surplus players an opportunity to agree mutual contract termination, which will reduce the cost of releasing players and trimming squads. Enhanced player loan options Managers can now approach other clubs to offer young players on loan, a process which will make it easier to give younger players competitive experience. Also, when players’ loan periods expire, the manager will have an opportunity to extend the loan (where appropriate). Manager mind games Managers can click on any other manager’s name and issue a comment to the media relating to that person. The effects of these comments will see an increase in the amount of pressure surrounding title races, relegation battles, Cup ties and so on. It will also be possible to use this feature in relation to your own players, other clubs, media pundits etc. Further Features Playable leagues in 43 countries.
