I haven't played FIFA since RTWC '98. Started playing Fm / CM back in 01/02, great game. Could do with some flashy graphics like FIFA, bu I'm not complaining. But then again, downloading all the graphics for FM can be a bit tiring.

I've played CM since the legend that was cm97/98. Still playing them today under their new name

I like that there is no legends, it means it can be alot more realistic, those management games with 3d engines are so repetative, giving you the same replys over and over, the match engine in the FM games, even with the 2d screen is near perfect.

It think it'll be too advanced for me. I don't get alot when it comes to football, I could learn though if it's worth it.

To be truthful, its the kind of footie game that you really need to know about football in real life to play, tactics, stats and stuff are all very important.

That's what I suspected. And really I think you have to understand it all to fully enjoy the game.

You would need a basic understanding of the game to get enjoyment out of it, but you should at least rent it. It is really a good game. I have been setting tactics for my girls youth team from some of the tactics I have used in FM/CM. Very fun for the girls to watch how it is supposed to work.
