Total Club Manager 2004
Football management games are an interesting genre. Who would have thought that a game where you take control of the finances and management as well as the players of a major football club would be so addictive? As Championship Manager and more recently Total Club Manager have proven these games do have a market and there are lots of budding managers out there. Does this new one from EA have the goods to knock Championship Manager from its perch?
In Total Club Manager 2004 you take full control of a Football club from various leagues around Europe. You have two choices, start with a club of your own choice or choose a random club to begin your career with. The aim of Total Club Manager is to not only win silverware for your clubs trophy cabinet, but also keep the club in a financially sound position and also acquire a new contract or lucrative offers for your services from clubs in higher divisions or stature.
Total Club Manager 2004 features all the tasks a football manager has to undertake. Managing the first team on matchday, setting training regimes, dealing with misconduct such as destroyed hotel rooms after a European win, injuries, suspensions and other problems a team can face during the course of a season. Obviously the focus in Total Club Management is behind the scenes rather then on matchday so don't expect to be getting lots of action and playability out of the game itself in comparison to other football games on the market.
If you want to tone down the difficulty level of Total Club Manager, or just focus on the actual first team you can hire staff for your club. This staff includes scouts, assistant managers, stadium managers etc and can bring benefits towards the club. For instance if you hire a physio, the recovery time for injured players is decreased. How much so depends on the expertise of the physio you hire. Also there are different difficulty levels to choose when first starting you career, and you can also boost the cashflow of your chosen club by up to 25 million pounds to help you land some big signings in your first year. Don't expect to be able to lure someone such as Harry Kewell to a Division four club however.
A mini game has also been included in Total Club Manager 2004 for gamers to try. This mini game asks players various questions such as where was the 2002 World Cup held and is in a Who Wants to be a Millionaire format. You can ask an assistant manager for help, discard one wrong answer, discard two wrong answers or get two attempts. It's an interesting diversion from the main game itself but overall doesn't add much to the game.
Total Club Manager 2004 is a great game which budding football managers will love. It still remains a niche title but is very accessible and the console controls are great. Football Fusion is a great new addition and it makes Total Club Manager 2004 the only recent management game in which you can actually play the games. If you already own FIFA Football 2004, then you should check this game out and see what life is like on the other side of the fence as a manager.

It's important to note that the CMAE is an organisation for all club managers, not just those who are in charge of golfing facilities, and that the study incorporated Yacht and Tennis clubs and a "gentlemen's club" in Dublin.
A total of 10,598 people work for various types of clubs but the survey says: "Taken together, the total employment in golf clubs is more than 15 times the number employed in yacht clubs, and more than 25 times the number of those employed by tennis clubs."
