managerial sports games

[anzac]

I've seen some managerial type sports games around for both cricket & football but don't know too much about them....

can anyone give me a low down on what they're about & the better ones to look for - both cricket & football, as I'm also aware that there are different producers (much like the EA v PES for football games)..........

Isn't there an Internation Cricket Captain game? It was on PS I think....

Check out www.cricketweb.net/cricketgames/ and www.cricketweb.net/downloadscentre/

Lots of details and demos of games

Football - buy Eidos' Football Manager. Then kiss goodbye to the rest of your life...
Cricket - the ICC series is the leader atm, but is out of date.

 

[Glenn Stiemens]

Don't you mean Sports Interactive and SEGA's Football Manager, Neil

footy fanatic is the best afl manager around and the new one is coming out very very soon. Actually supposed to come out today, but it got delayed.

Yerp. Will be delayed for a bit I think.

The TCM series of football games is my favourite.. Playing TCM 2004 at the minute.. Google "Total Club Manager"

TCM?

Oh dear...

 

[Tom Halsey]

Agreed with Marc. FM is miles ahead of TCM... that said TCM isn't bad, merely FM is the greatest PC game ever IMO.
