Agreed. I've never even heard of FIFA Manager until following OP's misleading link.

This is just EA failing at competition again.

You should change the title to FIFA Manager, not EA Football Manager. Football Manager is a different series entirely, and one which is thriving, IIRC.

I would guess it's for the same reason that the Bundesliga is the only league in Europe not playable in Football Manager, no? Something to do with the rights (can't be arsed to look it up :p)?

Anyway, it certainly doesn't have a monopoly on the genre on a wider scale: I know dozens of people that play or played some iteration of Football Manager. I've never known a single one that talked to me about FIFA Manager.

Yeah, I guess it's comprehensible that a football game that does not feature the German leagues and national team is not exactly an hit in Germany XD (though I would bet that early versions of Championship Manager probably were)

It's a shame, too. Finest footie management simulator known to man :D
Anyway, as far as I know, Football Manager is, by a large margin, the most popular of its genre in most countries, which may go a long way explaining why EA dumped FIFA Manager.

People can still buy it from outside of Germany, though... But yeah, that makes it even less likely.

^ This.

FIFA Manager vs Football Manager is Cyrix vs Intel.

Being one of a handful of players in a market with few competitors isn't the same as having a "near monopoly"...
