Total Club Manager 2005 is a football management simulator developed by EA Canada, released in 2004 for PC, PlayStation 2, and Xbox. The third entry in EA's Total Club Manager series, it builds on its predecessor with several notable changes. Player attributes expand from 16 ratings on a -1 to 2 scale to 30 attributes measured on a 0–99 scale, offering a more detailed assessment of footballers. The 3D match engine received updates to both its artificial intelligence and presentation. A newly added feature allows players to create a custom club from scratch and guide it upward through the lower divisions of professional football, providing an alternative to managing established top-flight sides. The standard EA Sports presentation interface remains consistent with other titles in the publisher's lineup.
