PC Football Manager games

[Soundwave]

Afternoon chaps,

Well I'm finding more & more often in the evenings that the missus is commandering the only TV so she do her Wii Fit & I'm getting mighty bored of just browsing t' Web on the Laptop
So quite fancied playing a footy manager game seeing as I havent had one for years now.

Only thing is I dont know what one's are worth playing.

Is Football Manager still the series to get??

Help me kill the boredom

Ta muchly

I was about to start a similar thread. Haven't played on PC since about 01/02, when I realised that it was sucking my life away.

But now I'm older and wiser and I know better. Actually the truth is that a season on FM Handheld 2007 has really whetted my appetite.

I'm not fussed about the latest and greatest - I'm a CM2 veteran. I saw CEX doing FM2005 for 2.50, and it might even be cheaper on Ebay. Is FM2005 a good balance between good features and expensive bloatware?

(I'll probably run it on Wine/Linux.)

Just noticed that New Star Soccer 4 is out now so thought this would be the best place to post, seeing as it's a football management game where you manage a players career.

New Star Soccer 3 was a good laugh so I'm going to give this one a try now. Theres an offer until the 22nd November to buy the full game for ?10.48 which is a bargain if it turns out to be as good as the last one.
