FIFA Manager ( short : FIFAM ) was an association football series of sport management games published by Electronic Arts . The games were developed by the German studio Bright Future GmbH and EA Sports . The game was called Total Club Manager ( short : TCM ) until the name changed to FIFA Manager with the FIFAM 06 . It was announced FIFA Manager 's last installment was FIFA Manager 14 and that there would be no further editions to the game . Before FIFAM and TCM , EA Sports released FIFA Soccer Manager ( 1997 ) and The FA Premier League Football Manager 99 , 2000 , 2001 and 2002 , but while the first managed to attract some attention , the latter were released when the managing games market for non-Championship Manager titles was close to non-existent , and after two unsuccessful titles , it was dropped . However , by 2001 , several employees of German software house Ascaron , who developed the highly popular Anstoss series in the past moved to EA , and the first game , Fussball Manager 2002 , was released in Germany only , as a test for a potential series . It resembled Anstoss 3 , although on a more serious note ( in Anstoss , players could be abducted by aliens , train in Area 51 or use performance - enhancing drugs ) and fewer financial options ( managers developed by German teams often include deep financial options , such as stock and real estate markets ) . The game had positive reception , and a year later Total Club Manager 2003 was released , with Bobby Robson on the cover ( for the second time , after FIFA Soccer Manager ) . One of the key features of Anstoss 3 was the ability to actually play the games after Anstoss Action was released . Although it could be played as a stand - alone game , it only reached the full potential when used with the manager game . This feature , only present on other games with limited geographical distribution , the Spanish PC Fútbol , was included for buyers of both TCM 2004 and FIFA 2004 , which could use the Football Fusion function . Some fans managed to control games in TCM 2003 by hacking the configuration files , but data loss and corruption was frequent . Celtic manager Martin O'Neill appeared on the cover of TCM 2004 . Criticized by a confusing interface , EA reworked it for TCM 2005 , with a more sleek design . European Champion with former FC Porto and Chelsea manager José Mourinho was selected for the main cover . While the TCM series has been released for Windows , Xbox and PlayStation 2 , the FIFAM series is only available for Windows . The PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions of the game were developed for EA Canada by Budcat Creations .
