Starting out on the PlayStation in 1999, LMA Manager has appeared in one form or another nearly every year since. In that time, the series has made the jump from consoles to PC, and it was also one of the first football management games to offer a full 3D match engine.
Now making its first appearance on the Xbox 360, LMA Manager 2007 offers new features such as online squad updates, league match highlights, and new data for the African, Asian, Australian, and American leagues.
Like its predecessors, LMA Manager 2007 is geared towards the management novice, letting you customise the game as you want to play it and even strip management down to its core components.
If you want the complete experience, you can opt to take care of training and financial duties, but if you want your focus to remain on the human resources of the club, you can choose to delegate the other aspects to the computer's artificial intelligence.
You can streamline the experience even more by choosing to skip preseason match warm-ups and get stuck into the main season from the off.
