Summary
After a hard day at the office, what better way to relax in the evening than to take control of a football club? You must be crackers. As if berating the locals in your local pub team wasn't enough, LMA Professional Manger 2005 offers you the reins of a big club (or a more modest one, like Tampere United or Odd Grenland for example). You really wanna pile that much pressure on yourself? Just imagine what a real professional footy manager goes through...
As the most extensive edition in the series' history, LMA Professional Manager 2005 comes complete with more countries, leagues and trophies. An expanded and updated database makes it the most authentic edition with more official football content, including all the top clubs and the official inclusion of The Championship, League 1 and League 2, under license from the Football League, with all the clubs, players, badges, and trophies, plus the Conference.You can extend your management skills and knowledge across the globe, competing as a manager in all the major divisions in the English, Scottish, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch and Portuguese leagues. Your team can also play friendlies against clubs from all 50 featured countries. All leagues and countries are fully scoutable, allowing you to search for those youth team superstars, the unknown players you can pick up for a song now, and who could be worth millions in a season or two.
Not all your new charges are guaranteed to take to your management style however. In LMA Professional Manager 2005, players have more detailed personalities. If you're to get the best out of them, there's a whole host of things that can influence a player's mood. The game has you managing players' personalities and temperaments, and you may even have to deal with virtual tantrums with the new 'player-personality' system. So, whether you plan to revolutionise the team's training regime with some boot camp-style treatment, or plan to leave your star striker on the bench for a few games, if your playing staff are unhappy, they'll let you know one way or another.
Matches run in real-time throughout LMA Professional Manager 2005, and results are not calculated before the match kicks off. Success is all about how you react during a match and your ability to turn what looked like certain defeat into a victory. Every instruction to your players and shout from the bench makes a difference. Now more than ever, the outcome of the match depends upon your tactical awareness.
So, are you ready for the new season? More to the point, are you prepared to see the rest of your life go down the toilet while you're scouting for a different kind of talent you normally look out for at the weekend? Like we said before, you must be crackers. Just like we are!
