To settle an argument between me and BluebirdTon, don't let me down p&b, Football Manager is obviously better!

This is like doing a survey of all the religions on the planet to see which is the most popular, and holding the survey in a mosque.
Farce written all over it.
I refuse to accept the results no matter what.

They can't be compared. Two completely different types of games. Pro evo and Fifa can be compared or champ man and FM can but you can't mix and match.

They're football games, but both just come from different perspectives, of course you can compare them.
Even Fifa is better than Pro evo.

From what I remember from the msn converstion five minutes ago, I was arguing that Fifa is more popular than Fm - and I gathered that the purpose of this thread would be to see that.
But as I said, this isn't a justified place to hold such a vote.

In which case i agree with you. FM will be more popular on here as the vast majority of people like football but for people with little knowledge of it Fifa is obviously going to be their preferred choice.

FM is better, i'll still buy Fifa 09 for PS2, but only because Accies are in it this year, the same reason I'm buying the pannini sticket book

Fifa is better in my opinion. Simply because if your having a load of folk round it's great to sit down and play Fifa where as with FM you need to have quiet time in my opinion and think like a real manager would.
Will buy both games though.

Fifa Manager is vastly underrated.
Especially given they have unofficial coders with some fantastic 3D patches.

Fifa is the more popular game however anyone who plays both would clearly see that for good gaming FM is better.
On regards, to the Fifa vs Pro Evo argument I have felt that Pro Evo has simply outclassed Fifa in every department apart from perhaps graphics or the fact Fifa has real team names & badges, until Fifa 08 however. Fifa took it up a level and Pro Evo just slid along there usual standard if not dropping there standards a notch or two.
EDIT TO ADD:
http://www.videogamer.com/news/23-10-2007-6730.htmlPlease take into consideration that Fifa is more of a console game yet still snatches 2nd place on Football Manager's predominantary platform.
