    Football Manager 2006 ** Description
    Football Manager 2006 developers, Sports Interactive, started developing the new game just three days after completing the Football Manager 2005 version. They aimed to add more depth, more accessibility and more fun.

    You have more tactical options on the chalkboard than before. Football Manager 2006's enormous database of players, managers and staff increases again from 250,000 in FM2005 to over 270,000. Select from well over 5,000 teams in 50 countries to ensure you never face the same managerial challenge twice. Training or coaching your players is far easier and quicker with a brand new training module.

    An advanced positions feature now complements the basic version so you can judge exactly how well players will perform in unfamiliar roles and uncover their preferred moves, enabling you to build tactics to suit your stars. Now you get reports on the man of the match in your reserve and youth team games, not just your top side's matches.

    FM 2006 uses a new 'player bio' system to generate thousands of news stories to flesh out the personalities in the game.

    FM 2006 is so easy to navigate as SI have focused on reducing the number of mouse clicks needed to access the information you want. The look of the match engine has been improved to feature dugouts, technical areas and more

    With loads of new licences, there are more official kits in Football Manager 2006 than ever before. Plus, kits have been visually enhanced in the game



    Creating games and loading times have been slashed without any loss of gameplay depth. Save game files have been compressed so they take up less room on your hard drive. Commentary and online play have been improved.

    All New Features to Football Manager 2006
    Team-talks:
    Use new half-time team talks to motivate individual players. But you can't yet throw teacups at them or kick a football boot at them a là Ferguson.
    In-game tutorial
    An essential guide for the Football Manager newcomer, running to 30,000 easily navigable words and linking to all the screens you'll need to ensure you can enjoy every aspect of the world's best management game.
    New injury module
    Injuries have been revised so your physios report to you, rather than you having to request information from them.
    Get a quick summary
    The new snapshot page gives you an indispensable overview of the key stats and info that really matter to you as a manager.
    Touchline commands
    When all is said and done, the game rests on your success on the pitch. You have to win games. How many times has the perfect preparation gone wrong when the first ball is actually kicked in the match? Well now you an shout instructions from the dugout with a new 'quick tactics' option! e.g. 'Owen ya numpty, WE play in black n white, the OPPOSITION are playing in red!'
    Graphical assistance
    Some many stats, so little time. Bet you wished you'd paid attention in maths now? In Football Manager 2006 you can opt to view player info in easy-to-read bar charts instead of numerically.
    Height and weight
    For the first time height and weight are included in player stats to make for even more realistic contests on the field of play
    Referee profiles
    Now the boys in the middle have profiles so you can see exactly how harsh they'll be (but will it reveal if they really are 'bastards'?)
    Expand your squad
    If your lower league squad really is a bit sparse then you can now get some extra players in your squad or snap-up promising youngsters by offering contracts to your 'greyed out' players.
    Plus loads more...
    • Formation panel • Ticker tape • Quick flicks • Fair play • Go one-on-one... • Unhappy player interactions • Manager contracts • Instant replay • New tactics panel
