When players were represented by discs on the pitch it FELT like management. After all when a manager discusses tactics he would use a similar set up to show players what to do. Or was that just Andy Gray who did that ?

Whilst CM was a well crafted (and ridiculously addictive) game, the 3D engine it lacked existed even back in the days of the ZX Spectrum, and I felt SI let us down in the long run.
Even LMA Manager on the PS2 had a 3D simulation.

Try here for an example of the ZX Spectrum game in all its emulated glory
