OT - Total Club Manager 2003

Flame Eater · 03-05-2003, 07:46 PM

Has anybody here played this game? It's a Soccer Sim by (gasp!) EA. I've been looking at it, and it looks pretty neat. The forums are fairly positive.

I played the old F.A. Premier Manager series by EA a couple years ago. It was OK, menus were nice and pretty, and there were a decent amount of options, but the 3D matches sucked. Save your money and wait for CM4, you are going to get a ton more value out of that than you are the EA one.

I played the demo. It's a big improvement over the old Premier Manager game IMO, but not up to par with CM4.

I thought about buying it, but I decided to wait for CM4.

Apparently if you want to trade glitz and graphics for realism, TCM would be for you. I've seen screenshots of matches ending in scores of 14-1 and we're not talking Australia against Micronesia or some Pacific Island nation. That's Roma 14-Inter 1. TCM is pretty, but realistic? No chance.

In my limited exposure to the demo, I didn't see anything resembling this (not to say it might not be a problem). The results I got from the game seemed reasonable and similar to results I've seen in CM.

The biggest thing I didn't like about the game was the interface. It was very pretty, but seemed very disorganized and not intuitive at all.
