This is Football Management

This is Football Management is a simulation sports game. Have you ever sat around with your mates discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the 4-4-2 diamond formation? Ever felt as though you can do better? Well this is your chance!

This is the 2005, and last, edition of the "World Tour Soccer/This is Football" game series. It allows you to take an existing team and take control of them and guide them through a season by season basis. You can also create a new team, mold it in every detail, from kit to player. From there, you start off in the school league and earn league titles and promotions through the national leagues of your choice. As well as leagues, you can take part in all the major club and international knock out tournaments, such as the Champion's League, Euro Club Cup and the World Cup. It also now includes the ability to create a digital mask of yourself using the EyeToy play camera and apply it to a new player or any existing player of your choice.

If there's one thing you can't fault This Is Football 2004 on, it's scope. While other PlayStation 2 football titles are happy to concentrate on national and international teams, here the beautiful game is taken right down to grass roots, allowing you (if you wish) to seize control of a local team. You do that as part of the best feature in the game: the career mode. Here, you really can go from the very bottom to the very top, and it adds a challenging long term goal to the proceedings. It's just one example of where the game differs from the opposition, and there are plenty more. For instance, you can also try and blatantly blag a penalty by diving in the area. You can get penalised for handball. You can even take it online and test your skills. In short, there's plenty going on.

They say football is a game of opinions and everyone has theirs, but it’s only yours that counts around here. You make the decisions now, from who you sign and who you sell, to how you manage your budget.
