One of the key features of Anstoss 3 was the ability to actually play the games after Anstoss Action was released. Although it could be played as a stand-alone game, it only reached the full potential when used with the manager game. This feature, only present on other games with limited geographical distribution, the Spanish PC Fútbol, was included for buyers of both TCM 2004 and FIFA 2004, which could use the Football Fusion function. Some fans managed to control games in TCM 2003 by hacking the configuration files, but data loss and corruption was frequent. Celtic manager Martin O'Neill appeared on the cover of TCM 2004. Criticized by a confusing interface, EA reworked it for TCM 2005, with a more sleek design. European Champion with former FC Porto and Chelsea manager José Mourinho was selected for the main cover.
FSM was also known for a complete stadium builder, where combining 300 different pieces (stands and roofs) allowed the creation of stadiums with over 300,000 seats (a figure which is still double the highest stadium capacity in the world). While the overall presentation (which included short FMV clips for some events, such as cup/league wins and being sacked) was praised, the interface relied too much on submenus that could not only be reached outside the main section, slowing down gameplay. Also, when the better players retired, they were replaced only by average younger players (rated between 75 and 80), which harmed the possibilities of games over 15 years long, combined with the impossibility of joining a different club.
FIFA Manager 09 received mixed reviews from Metacritic, with an average of 69%. Scores ranged from a dire 30% (Total PC Gaming) up to a more than respectable 85% (GameStar). Most reviews commented on the level of depth and realism involved in the game, while noting that it might well be too much for some. Play.tm called it "more a lifestyle than a game", observing that "a season, if played thoroughly, will take as long as most full games these days".[2] IT Reviews commented that, "it may still feel like you're awash with a tsunami of statistics but FIFA manager 09 has injected a number of new features to appeal to micromanagement fans".[3]
FIFA Manager 10 is the 2010 successor to the FIFA Manager series from EA's sports brand, EA Sports, following up FIFA Manager 09. FIFA Manager 10 was developed by Bright Future and published by EA Spore. When installed there will be two executable files: Single-player mode and the Multiplayer mode that can be played online.[4] The game gives you the chance to control a wide range of features from discussing tactics with individual players to creating monster stadiums to house your fans. For the first time ever on the series, there is an online mode, as well as a superior 3D animation and a customizable manager desktop.[5]

Update: Thank you for the above information - I have been able to get Total Club manager 2003 working with AND without DxWnd. However, the issues you've described persist on my side also.
Speaking of that, one of the things I love most about TCM is youth development. You can track the progress of rising stars at your club from age 11 upwards and offer them professional contracts when they enter the Under-18s squad. You can also build youth camps across the world to help attract the best overseas talents to your club.
I'm a big soccer game nerd. This is my favorite EA game ever. Only for 2 years they made a management game that actually synced with a regular FIFA where you control players as well as manage the club in it's entirety. I played hours and hours of this buggy but extremely addictive game.
Offering a (comparatively) lighter approach than the leading managing game (SI's Football Manager series), FIFA Manager (the main name used by the franchise since the 2006 version) is closer in style and options to managing games developed in Germany, such as the aforementioned Anstoß series or games distributed or developed by Software 2000 and Bubball, offering many micromanagement options (such as stadium expansions, control of merchandise products and development of club facilities). Another of the main selling points was the usage of FIFA's 3D engine to simulate games.
Hello. I have got Total club manager 2005 years ago and I want to play it again and looks like the seasons limit is 50. But what I want to know is if this is the career limit or the save limit. Because if this is only the carrer limit in theory we could create another trainer and start another career as soon as the limit is reached and continue playing with the same save. However if this is a save limit this couldn't be done and we would have to start a new one. And besides that I would like to know if the same limits apply to the new club mode too.
The series stopped with FIFA Manager 14, as the sales weren't spectacular, most people prefering the competition (and i seriously don't consider their games as proper manager, as many aspects that you could find in Premier League Manager/TCM/FIFA Manager can't be found in the competition's games. I miss a proper FIFA manager game...
TCM 2005 gets a lot of things right. Much like Wayne Rooney doing a warm-up, the nice touches are apparent even before you start a game. You can choose to play as a 'fixed' team, whereby you won't be fired from that team regardless of performance; or you can choose to run six active leagues, with the possibility of getting work in any of them; and finally you can choose to be offered contracts by three random clubs in the lower divisions of a country, with the goal of taking them to the top. With 20 countries on offer, there's huge scope. For example, you could start off managing Liverpool in the Premiership, but have La Liga and Seria A running concurrently in case an offer from a big club comes in [you had to bring that up -scouser-loving Dep.Ed], with the Irish and Korean leagues in the background if you feel like a different challenge later.
I really like this idea of football management as an epic, global merry-go-round. Succeed and the climes of Milan may be your eventual destination, fail and you might have to resurrect your career in Swedish snow. Immediately, there's a sense of possibility about the game, a sense of drama in the offing. And, let's face it, real football management is fraught with drama. The average Premiership manager could have a soap opera built around him. They could call it Home and Away. (I'm so sorry).
What TCM does a particularly good job of is capturing the spirit of this drama. Once you are hired by a club, the first screen you'll see is the 'home' page, with a news ticker running along its bottom and a fixture list in the lower right. Most prominent, however, are two rating bars in the top right of the screen: those of 'board' and 'fan' approval. This gives you a sense of being watched, as if your every move is being measured up by supporters and suits alike.
Thankfully, that's not exactly the case. For the most part, the board and fans will react to results on the pitch and your responses to media interviews, which I'll get to in a moment. If they were to react to your every move, they'd be kept on their toes, because you make a lot of them in this game. TCM is extremely comprehensive with regards to running your chosen club, with almost too many facets to list in a review. You have full control over your team's training (down to specific days of the week); you can sign youth players and subsequently develop their best traits; you can organise the club's merchandise and expand the stadium; you can even make the club go public, so long as certain requirements are met. Not once did I find myself saying 'why can't I do this?' and, for the most part, I actually left my backroom staff take care of the non-football issues.
Much like LMA, Total Club Manager does a very good job of presentation, with nice fonts and club crests for what seems like every team. The music is also surprisingly good drum 'n' bass by the Perfecto Allstars, whoever they are. However, the best aspect of the game, I feel, is the way it attempts to recreate the little dramas of football. The most appropriate examples of this are the media interviews given during the course of the game, often before or after matches. Depending on the answer given, you might affect the morale of your team, the fans' opinion of you, or even your overall manager 'level', which improves depending on performance. Generally, a question is posed by a reporter (for example: "You're expected to hammer this team tonight, do you think this will happen?") with three possible responses. Some of these are beautifully Fergie-like, with the option to snap at the reporter or remain even-handed. The reporter will often show a response, too. "The reporter smiles, glad that he got you worked up."
