There are no better looking matches in footy management games than FIFA's. But if the thought of wasting your time giving your missus a present to boost your personal happiness, or organising fan days to avoid the displeasure of the punters, seem odd, wait till you encounter the Career Mode. This managerial 'jack of all trades' betrays its German development roots with an economic bent that enables you to take control of all the finances, stadium development and even your relationship with your wife in anal levels of detail. And that's the problem with FIFA Manager - it's a competent utility player that's not quite world class in a specific position.Įven the trademark great presentation of EA's title is let down by a user interface that forces you to detour via other screens to interact with players or, say, access scouting reports flagged up in news items. The feature list has expanded to encompass pretty much every aspect all the game's rivals boast, and then some. But there's not much new stuff to get excited about here, which is undoubtedly why EA hasn't trumpeted FIFA Man's release. The game itself is as solid as ever, offering a far less hardcore impression of football management than the likes of Football Manager.
It's the equivalent of a boss not just informing his players who's in the team ten minutes before kick-off, but not telling them there's a match until the stadium's half full.
EA didn't even confirm the game was on the cards until a matter of weeks before its release. So it's a little odd that FIFA Manager 07 has arrived with barely a whimper, let alone a bang. That's what you expect when EA wheel out a blockbuster sequel, especially one featuring a fully licensed cast of footballing superstars.
