Football Manager 2008 (Mac)

Genre: Sports | Aka: worldwide soccer manager 2008, fm 2008, fm 08 | Rating: (no votes)

The critically acclaimed football managing franchise gets a totally revamped new title for the season 2008. The feedback from the fans has been read and resulted in a huge amount of fixes, improvements and new features. You'll be able to manage more than 5,000 teams from over 50 countries and compete in leagues, cups, and international tournaments.

To mention a small portion of some of the greatest new features in Football Manager 2008 here's some details:

Match Flow – The largest change to match-day in a Sports Interactive game since the introduction of the second match engine. Match flow brings more atmosphere to match-days with match previews, team talks, opposition player instructions, the match itself, half time and post match. These now seamlessly follow on from one another, with no more pausing to make tactical changes, and a mini-radar pitch whilst making those tactical changes to keep you in touch with what’s going on in the match

International Management – The international management gameplay has been completely revamped for Football Manager™ 2008, including, but not limited to, media improvements, international retirements, player interaction, international scouting, improved pool selection, captain selection and a separation of international and club morale for players.

Easier to Use – A much cleaner skin, a brand new advisor system to help players through various areas of the game. A new notes and notebook system, better button positioning for simpler navigation and an updated tutorial and manual. Also, coach reports make taking over a new team easier, and the new calendar system lists all important dates throughout the season. These all help to make Football Manager™ 2008 the easiest Sports Interactive game to use yet.

Confidence – Players can now easily tell what the board and supporters think about their performance in the game through the new confidence section. This gives players feedback not just on their current progress in competitions, but also their financial management and signings.

Transfer Centre – A new way of managing all current transfer and loan bids for a players club, both incoming and outgoing, making it easier to compare bids and reject or accept them.

Match Engine Improvements – A greatly improved match engine, once again utilising the footballing brain of former Republic of Ireland international player Ray Houghton as well as other tools used by real-life managers to make the most accurate simulation of football in a computer game. The ability to change the pitch dimensions at the start of the season to suit players styles of play better has also been added.

Awards re-write – An overhaul of the awards system inside the game which is not only more accurate now, but also includes new awards such as the European golden boot, and a “best eleven”, which shows the all-time (in game) best eleven for all teams and nations.

Finances revamp – To reflect the changes in modern day football, Sports Interactive have updated the finance area of Football Manager™ 2008 to better reflect the ever changing football world, with more information available to the manager too, including, but not limited to, corporate match day income, season ticket news, investment funds, improved sponsorships, collective win bonuses, and the ability to move around funds from the wage budget and transfer budget (and vice versa) at any point to help you in your quest for the ideal squad.

Fan days – The board can now arrange fan days to boost ailing attendances, or for matches that are likely to attract a low crowd, with a long term affect to attendances if all goes well.

Expanded media – More media and feedback than ever before, plus more detail in existing media, and a new competition news section to find out what major things are going on in all league competitions

Regenerated player photo’s – All in game generated players now have pictures using FaceGen technology to give each player more personality, and the ability for the players to be seen to grow up in front of your eyes as the game is going on.

Faster – Saving and loading is now significantly faster, with network gaming faster and smoother to play, as well as tactical changes and match reports being quicker than ever before.

I love this series and feel that Championship Manager 2008 is a solid entry. This along with Football Manager have stolen so much of my life over the years. The version we are looking at today was released in 2007 and while it may not have changed the game in any way, I do feel that this was a really fun game and features some very interesting.

I love this series and feel that Championship Manager 2008 is a solid entry. This along with Football Manager have stolen so much of my life over the years. The version we are looking at today was released in 2007 and while it may not have changed the game in any way, I do feel that this was a really fun game and features some very interesting team rosters. Anyone who likes football management games is going to have a good time with this.

Building A Dynasty

The thing with games like this is that the goal is always the same. You need to have success on the pitch, but you also need to keep an eye on the financial side of things too. It is up to you how you play the game. I like to jump in with a Premier League side and take it from there, which is what I did here starting with Spurs and having one hell of a run. Many others, like to start with a more modest team and see if they can build them up to something special.

The World Cup

One of the newer features that was added to Championship Manager 2008 which is really cool was being able to take control of an international team. I grew up in Scotland so I have not exactly had it good when it comes to international football, hell Scotland have not qualified for a tournament in over 20 years and they have never even gotten out of the group stages when they have.I liked this aspect of the game and it felt a bit more relaxed than when you are in charge of the day to day dealings of a club side.

Making The Right Choices

At its core, I would say that Championship Manager 2008 is a game that is all about making important decisions. These can range from signing to selling players, conducting the right training, and knowing when to palm of responsibilities to your assistants. The tactics aspect of the game is very in-depth and something I really did enjoy tinkering with.

As well as keeping things going in the right direction on the pitch. You also have to make sure your club is not overspending. When you are playing as a big club this is easier to do as you have more income. Playing as a lower league side though really does force you to be creative in what you do, especially when it comes to signing new players.

A Sign Of The Times

One thing I have to admit is that from a presentational point of view, this game is incredibly basic. To be fair, most other football management games were like this. These days we have a full 3D match engine and dynamic menus and so on, but back in 2007, things were kept much more basic and simpler. It is not bad, but it can be hard to go back to if you have played a modern football management game. Also, the soundtrack is really bad, so bad that I advise you to turn it off and listen to your own music.

I think that Championship Manager 2008 has held up very well over the years. The inclusion of being able to manage an international team is cool. Also, while I did not do this, you can play this in multiplayer which sounds pretty interesting. I do feel that newer games offer more than this one does, but if you love football, I would still say this is worth checking out.

Final Score

Pros:

  • You can now manage an international team
  • The multiplayer aspect sounds interesting
  • There are many tactics for you to tinker with
  • Some decisions really can feel like they are important
  • It is the kind of game you can put a 100 plus hour into!

Cons:

  • I do feel the newer football manager games offer more
  • It has some of the worst music I have ever heard!
