'''FIFA Soccer Manager''' (or simply ''FSM'') is a 1997 [[soccer|football]] managing [[computer game]] developed and published by [[Electronic Arts]] by their [[EA Sports]] label. It was followed by ''[[The FA Premier League Football Manager 99|The FA Premier League Football Manager]]'' and the ''[[Total Club Manager]]'' series. A 97-98 update for the game is freely available from Electronic Arts' FTP. |
|||
One of the first games in the genre developed for the [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] platform, FSM included five playable leagues ([[England]], [[Scotland]], [[Italy]], [[Germany]] and [[France]]) and all [[UEFA]] competitions, including around 7500 players. |
|||
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 [[Full motion video|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. |
