FIFA Manager vs Football Manager

[astrosfan64]

Has anyone tried both of these game this year? I've always loved FM, but I tried Fifa Manager last year and it was very good as well.

Just wondering if anyone has input on the differences this year.

I read that Fifa Manager still doesn't have the real MLS setup. Trying to verify that. Though I wish the MLS was setup like England, its not and I want to play by the real rules. Looks like another year of FM for me.

I played some of last year's Fifa Manager. It took them 4 patches to get most of the glitches out (some are still there). It's a fun game because of the 3d match display, and it's modable. The less famous countries don't have much depth, but you can edit the leagues. i was actually surprised at what large budgets the US teams have. I have no idea if it's real or not.
As for community, the forums are just full of grousers and fan boys, and there's not much in between. I got it cheap because it was last year's version (bought it for about $10) and played it non-stop for a few months. NOw, though, my team is stuck in debt (I tried, unsuccessfully, to make a mid-level Hungarian team a world power), so I haven't played for a while. I'll probably take a job in the French Division 2 league.
