I played Total Club Manager 2005 today.
Here is my comparison in my opinion.

Data Processing
TCM 2005 perform faster than FM 2005.
No hassle in TCM 2005.

TCM 2005 1 FM2005 0

Database
Sadly,FM 2005 has hugh database than TCM 2005
More players and youngsters.
Great stuff in FM 2005 and on the other hand, TCM 2005 miserably add all known names and rising stars.

TCM 2005 1 FM 2005 1

Click Continue for next day
TCM 2005 use splash screen,showing training chart for fitness and energy improvement or deprovement.At the same time,the chart standing for clubs(on the right) is being shown,to inform whether your club is within top 20 or something in fitness,league standing,youth camps and etc.Two buttons on the splash screen are 'Pause' and 'interrupt a week'.It is getting slower than previous verison,TCM 2004.

FM 2005 add a small pop-up box with a button 'Play on Background'.It waste no time to get back to the game.Quick to go next day

And so, TCM 2005 1 FM 2005 2

Tactics Instruction
TCM 2005 tactical instruction is fairly decent.Some are vague.
Not very understanding.

FM 2005 include 'width','tempo','Creative Freedom','Target Man' and "Defensive Line'
Incredible additions.They are making game more realistic.
My god,you could emulate wenger's 442 and anyone unlike previous Sigames verison, cm0304 which it offer tight option to play with.

TCM 2005 1 FM 2005 3

GAME ENGINE
TCM 2005 has various choices to start match.
'fifa fusion'? '3d match'? 'text'? '3d highlight'? 'Instant result'?
Ah,i like text but not good enough.It couldn't prove cm0304 bad in term of text commentary and game play.BUCK UP EA SPORTS!

FM 2005 include shadows and make goalpost more 3d.round circle(players) on 2d pitch are getting bold in looks.Well done.The ball is getting more rounder than flat ball(cm0304).
You can even identify what player is exactly doing.It is all because of rounder-look ball.
Excellent.Hugh leaps of bounds for improvement from cm0304.

TCM 2005 FM 2005 4

That is all i highlight the most important features to have enjoyment and fun when playing soccer management.
