I’m sure, like me, you’ve always thought you could do better than most sports managers. Sometimes I watch those football bosses and think, you’re just shouting and chewing gum and waving your hands like a looney, or boxing managers who slap their fighters in the face shouting, ‘Gimme me more, Butch’ when Butch or Bitch or whoever he is is dripping blood out of his ears. Which is why it’s always refreshing to sit down in front of a sports management game and watch it go completely and perfectly wrong. Try it yourself:
- Football Manager 2008 Strawberry Demo – Up-to-date players, astronomical salaries
- Universal Soccer Manager – Fun graphics with completely fictional teams and players
- Out of the Park Baseball Manager 2007 – Control the backroom office and the team
- Super Soccer Manager – National and international action with players from a year ago
- Universal Boxing Manager – Manage six different boxers, coach them and give ’em hell
