Manufacturer's Description
LFP Manager 09 gives you full control over the management of a football club. You are responsible for the line-up, the tactics and the training of your team as well as for signing the right players, improving the club facilities and the stadium. It is also important that you maintain good relationships with your players, the board, the sponsors and the press. But LFP Manager 09 goes further. Managing your national team is one of the options, playing as a player manager is another one (in this case you can even control your player on the pitch). And then there is the ultimate challenge: Found your own club and work your way up the leagues to finally become Champions!

Customer Reviews

Bugs Galore
I bought this game on release from amazon and was looking forward to the changes, but i am a little dissapointed.The game runs smoothly, looks good and is up to date. HOWEVER, the commentry is way off, in one game alone the commentry included arsenal, aston villa and roma, none of which was the team i was playing as. To cap it all i lost a game 1-0 only to find on the results page that the score had changed to 7-0. With a bit of luck EA will provide some much needed patches. the game could be excellent and maybe close the gap on the FM series. Its just that it is full of bugs.

Bugs and crashes, oh why? Oh why?
I dont really understand why I have yet again bought a FM game and find it to be full of bugs and stupid small irritating things. The comentary is a laugh at times. The game crashes are frustrating. The thing needs a patch. Im sure they will release one again, just like they did for all the others.
The same thing happened with FM08 and FM07, so it brings me to a point where I am stupidified as to understand why they can not fix these issues prior to launch and learn from the mistakes of older versions.
It just looks as if they start from scratch every time they build a new game.
In general there is not that much of an improvement on FM08, if you take away all the crashing and bugs and the in game commentory. The actual 3D game appears to be a bit improved and the graphics better. The stadium build is more fun. The tactics section is not improved IMHO.
Overall though I am struggling through and hoping a PATCH is soon released to fix this thing.

Full of bugs
Bought this game from EAStore.com. I found 3-4 bugs within an hour of play and couple of them makes the game unplayable at all. In 3D video mode, the computer will ignore your match result and generate one itself and the game crashes in every 15-30 mins. The reply from the EA technical support is so helpless. I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy this game until the patch released.
