Since EA's gamers' day event today was aimed at both the domestic and the international press, the Redmond-based publisher also showed off the latest installments in the popular Total Club Manager series. Only slated for release in Europe, Total Club Manager 2005

Total Club Manager 2005 Gameplay

is being readied for PC, PS2, and Xbox -- with the latter platforms receiving simpler, more 'console-friendly' versions.

If you're new to the franchise, Total Club Manager lets players live the modern day (up to 50-year) career of a soccer manager, training and pitting their teams against the best clubs in the world. This time around, the focus is on delivering a deeper, more thorough team, player, and stats database (with officially licensed leagues, teams, and players, of course). To do this, EA employed a large team of experts from around the world to assemble the most accurate stats and fix some of the inconsistencies in the earlier titles.

For example, there is now a whole set of new and added character traits per player. In addition to the usual different player level stats (which are affected by parameters like fatigue, fitness, morale, etc.), each player can also have two special abilities. Players can be loyal (not likely to jump ship and switch teams), not loyal (the exact opposite), competitive (which means a strong performance, but also potentially more bookings), consistent (a reliable player who plays according to his stats), free kick specialists, and much more.

The PC version of Total Club Manager takes things even further and expresses player skills on a scale of 0-99 (instead of -1 to +2) and offers 30 different stats per player (as opposed to 16 in last year's game and 10 in this year's console versions). The PC game also de-emphasizes morale, pushing form into the forefront.

All three versions feature upgraded AI and an all-new 3D match engine to show it all off. Based on the UEFA EURO graphics engine, the game features great-looking player models and much more exciting on-field action. And of course there are plenty of camera angles to let would-be managers see the game from every viewpoint. Like the Sensible Soccer-style blimp view? No problem. While the games can be displayed full-screen, the 'Interactive Manager Dugout' enables the ability to bring up menus and stats in the middle of the game and confine the action to a smaller window. Managers can change tactics on the fly and get quick access to the latest information on the team and current opponents, such as fitness/fatigue ratings, player ratings, goals, cards, individual player stats, overall team stats, and territorial possession stats. There is even a news ticker that displays the latest scores from around the league in real-time. The PC version also offers an all-new 3D highlights mode that lets the manager view key moments in the game.

EA also upgraded the number of leagues and players. Total Club Manager 2005 includes all the players and teams from the leagues in England, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, and many more from around the world. If that's not enough for you, the PC version also allows the complete creation of custom clubs using a database of over 30,000 English and German towns. Create your home team, design a club badge, kits and a stadium and take them from the very bottom to the top of the charts.

But not all of the improvements are confined to the PC version. The console titles now allow for the creation (and storage) of 10 different custom formations via a great looking graphical formation display. You also select from eight tactical instructions, like pressing, passing, build up play, passing bias, counter attack, offside trap, and so on. Managers can apply their instructions on the team level, or go deeper and adjust them on a per-player basis.

Gameplay is of course largely unchanged from the previous installments in the series. You can be a wuss and start off with a strong club or try to build up a smaller one, find promising players by checking for talent ratings and stats, access seasonal data via a monthly calendar, schedule events, set prizes, check the NewsCentre for transfer updates, manager of month nominations and the like, tweak teams and formations, balance current and potential player levels, and train players. To do the latter, there are numerous custom training routines, including 20 preset training courses in the console versions.

And finally, there is even cross-over support between FIFA 2005 and Total Club Manager 2005. Called 'Football Fusion,' this feature enables owners of both titles to save their data to memory card, load it into FIFA, and play as their custom TCM teams. So if you ever wanted to play as the Liverpool of the future, circa 2035, you now can. Adversely, anything that happens in FIFA also carries back over to Total Club Manager. Injure your player or rack up yellow cards in and both games will keep track of the conditions and status changes.
