FM 2005 (PC)
Release: Dec 2004
CM 5 (PC)
Release: Oct 2004
FM2005 is developed by Sports Interactive and uses the same codebase as the previous Championship Manager series.
Eidos and BGS took the name and look of the Championship Manager series but then had to write the game from scratch. The result is the continuation of the CM series just in name.

Football Manager 2005 is the new football management game from Sports Interactive and is set for release in Q4 2004. Here is a list of confirmed new features (check out the screenshots at the bottom of the page!)
Updated user interface
Football Manager’s user interface will look markedly different to anything that has come before. Navigation between screens will be easier, with each screen explaining what information is on offer and how to get to other, related information. Consistency between separate game elements will also be more noticeable than in previous football management games: operations such as player filtering and sorting will now work consistently throughout the game. The game’s look – which now includes a two-panel option – will also be easily customised, allowing managers to store their preferred views and to return quickly to them.
Refined game engine
Sports Interactive’s long-standing and award-winning game engine has been refined and tuned in accordance with the feedback received from fans of its previous games. For example, the new game incorporate more than 30 extra fields for player data, including the all-new new ‘preferred moves’.
Updated database and competition rules
As has always been the case with Sports Interactive’s management simulations, Football Manager 2005’s database and competition simulation will be as up-to-date and accurate as is humanly possible.
Pre- and post-match information
Managers will be presented with enhanced information before and after each match, to show team line-ups, injuries and tactics before the match, and lots of stats about the match afterwards.
International player news
For the first time, managers will receive information on international performances, allowing them follow their players’ careers and ascertain how they are performing at the highest level.
Cup summary news
Events which unfold in each round of all of the major cup competitions will be delivered to the manager in a news summary.
2D clips from agents
Managers are likely to receive ‘video clips’ (executed using the game’s acclaimed 2D match engine) of a player’s performances, sent to them by that player’s agent with view to a possible transfer.
Coach reports on squads
In addition to commenting on individual players, coaches will now offer their opinions on the squad as a whole, thus helping managers to decide which areas of their team need improvement.
Job centre for non-playing positions
Non-playing jobs will be advertised through an in-game ‘Job Centre’, improving the manager’s ability to hire coaches and other staff.
Mutual Contract termination
Managers will be able to offer surplus players an opportunity to agree mutual contract termination, which will reduce the cost of releasing players and trimming squads.
Enhanced player loan options
Managers can now approach other clubs to offer young players on loan, a process which will make it easier to give younger players competitive experience. Also, when players’ loan periods expire, the manager will have an opportunity to extend the loan (where appropriate).
Manager ‘mind games’
Managers can click on any other manager’s name and issue a comment to the media relating to that person. The effects of these comments will see an increase in the amount of pressure surrounding title races, relegation battles, Cup ties and so on. It will also be possible to use this feature in relation to your own players, other clubs, media pundits etc.
Football Manager 2005 – Further Features
Playable leagues in 43 countries.
More than 140 playable senior divisions and in excess of 100 playable cup competitions.

Data supplied by a network of more than 2,500 researchers from around the world.
Updated 2D ‘top-down’ match engine.

Increased interaction with the media.
Reworked injury system.
Improved scouting system.
Improved finance module to reflect the changing face of football.

I'll happily MSN-it to anyone who's got Messenger (it's that good that I don't mind in the slightest - it's not like it will stop me playing the game anyway ).
Address in profile.
Either that or someone with 32mb's worth of webspace give me a shout!

Media comments are A LOT more risky now as they can effect how your team performs. My players disagreed with the first media comment I made, and I got drubbed 6-2 by Arsenal. When my players agreed with my second media comment I drubbed some team in my CL qualifier (a message came up saying Scholes especially liked the comment), and Scholes set up four goals and scored one.
Game just crashed and I didn't save 
Is there anyway you can skip matches? This was the worst thing about CM. Friendlies you don't care about and you can't skip then. I don't wanna cancel em because players won't get match fitness.
So annoyed they didn't add it in.
