 First WSM Game Played and Loving It April 2, 2008
I got this game right after New Years and I am addicted to it. I am a very passionate soccer fan and I love the beautiful game. This game is a must for a avid, passionate soccer fans. My favorite soccer club is WKS Slask Wroclaw which is in the Polish II division. You would be lucky to find even the Polish I division in other games but the database on this game is unbelievable. To have extensive on very unknown clubs and not popular leagues is one thing. But the roster of my II division team is so accurate to real life it is unbelievable. I would never find this accuracy with the PES series or the FIFA series (though they are two different types of games). When I play I actually think I am the manager of the club I have loved all my life. This is my first Worldwide Soccer Manager game and I love it. Most games I get bored after a couple of months but I am still very excited about this game. 100/100!!!
 Thoroughly engrossing March 19, 2008

This game is something of an improvement over the previous version. At any rate, it is the kind of simulation that I find thoroughly engrossing. While not a lifelong fan of football (soccer) my Navy service in Scotland got me very interested in the game. This game includes tactical and management actions, and it's very interesting to see the "personal level" of involvement that develops when trying to figure out a player's character. I have never liked "joystick" type sports simulations, and this is DEFINITELY NOT that type. I've played the evolving versions of this game (Championship Manager, etc.) for over 8 years and really do enjoy it. I am a 59-yearold male.
The same, but different February 18, 2008

Another fine installment in the Championship Manager/Worldwide Soccer Manager line. Updated graphics and the ever-present freaksihly good realism make this a very addictive game. Not for everyone, as it is not a true "video game" and requires imagination and patience. However, once you get into your eleven, you are hooked. Your players responses to your Halftime talk can amuse and confuse, the press will pressure you, and the fan reaction to your player personnel moves and game results can quickly put you on the hot seat. I have played these for eight years now, and keep coming back.
No much to say February 8, 2008
No much to say about the series, I bought one every year including this year. lol
Tough Game, but amazing December 28, 2007

For those of you who have played the Worldwide Soccer Manager/Football Manager series, you know what you're getting here. The 08 version is exactly what one would expect, an update of the 07 rosters with a few new features to make the game run better (calendar, transfer centre, etc.) So far, it's been harder for me than 07 (I have been fired twice), but that's a great feature, because it will take time for me to get good, and it will make winning just that much better.
For anyone who has never played this game, its amazing. Despite the fact that my friends constantly make fun of me for playing a soccer game where you don't actually play the game, this game is incredibly fun and exciting. The detail level is so immense, you can literally spend hours and hours improving your team, not to mention learning a lot more about soccer across the world. For any at least moderate soccer fan or someone who wants to get more into it, I could not recommend this more highly.
