Football Manager 2010 features a brand new User Interface, with a light and a dark skin to choose from as part of a vibrant new look and has undergone a complete navigational overhaul. The side bar navigation of previous years has been replaced by an intuitive tab system at the top of the screen, making Football Manager's famed depth easier to navigate and will make the game more accessible to new players.
“Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.” This philosophy also carries over to video games, with many not just buying the latest FIFA or Pro Evolution Soccer to have a little dabble with, but to invest a solid twelve months of playing time into. Here is a list of what Craig Bryan believes to be some of, if not the best football-based video games ever created.

In America, a game where you mostly use your hands is called football. In the rest of the world, that big part of the world outside your country, the game Americans call 'soccer' is widely known as 'football'.
I hope that helps.
You must have seen John Cleese's comparison of soccer and football on youtube, haven't you?
I hadn't, no, but having seen your reply I just have and he sums it up perfectly. :P
Why would a game be called as Football when it's clearly played by using hands. Either we Amaricans are crazy or whoever named Soccer Football in Amarica was crazy.

American football and soccer/football both originated from the same sports, which was called football. Original was played using your feet but you could also take the ball in your hands rugby style. So American football and football were originally the same sports which just evolved in different directions.
I live in the UK and I like to call it 'soccer' to just piss off my friends. Try it, it's fun.
The only sport I really like is Basketball.
I only clicked on these comments because I was pretty sure the first comment would be something like "Not a real sport" or "That's not football!" or the already mentioned. I guess I was right.
Football Manager on a smartphone sounds amazing. That is the perfect game to play anywhere.
Spot on with PES4. Played that game for years and haven't played a better footie game since. It just had an amazing feel with the ball at your feet. And you could actually beat players with pace which made 1 vs 1 matches really fun!
The fact was passing was much more an important part of PES, crisp one touch passing and a good through ball to unlock a defence. Football perfection until around PES 6
I think PES5 will forever be known as the best football game ever made. even on PSP that game was perfection.
Microsoft has launched an official promotion on its Games on Demand service, offering some of the best titles of last year at greatly reduced prices. Gamers can purchase titles such as BioShock 2, Lost Planet 2 and Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition for half their previous retail price.
Eurogamer: "It's a shame when relationships end but it's often for the best. Football Manager and me had it all – long intimate evenings, weekends away, the occasional holiday. I'd thought we never split up. But eventually cracks began to appear, the physical side deteriorated, and we became strangers.
As an early adopter of pretending to manage a football team on a computer (i.e. a semi-autistic weirdo), a chronic addiction to Football Manager seemed my inevitable destiny. My first taste was the original Football Manager on the ZX Spectrum, whose bearded creator, Kevin Toms, appeared beaming on the cassette case cover."
