Total Club Manager 2005 is EA's third game in the Total Club Manager series. If the usual presentation of EA Sports games was left untouched, other features were changed from the TCM 2004: The player attributes were changed from -1 to 2 on a scale of 0-99, and a new 3D engine was used with improved AI and presentation. Additionally, players can now create their own club and take it from the bottom leagues.
The gameplay in Total Club Manager 2005 focuses on managing a football club, making decisions on player transfers, tactics, and training, while trying to achieve success in the league and cup competitions.
