Review + Download

hmm, maybe i am just a bit pumped up because i just came from english class, but someone should correct a bit the mistakes he made in the review.

but Little fish should get an A for effort. :ok:

This was the first game that I had ever been addicted to.

Oh sweet memories!

I play Championship Manager from version 01-02, so it means that I'm playing FM 2006 whrite NOW!
So this is how it all begin GOOD TO KNOW

I'm also a member of FM-Serbia comunity so it is my pleasure to invite you all to
Sorry, no advertisment.

Cheers :D

and again I forgot to sign my name :wall:

If anyone wonders what is going on - Championship Manager has been added to the site a while back.

It seems, however, that the old review was taken down for some reason (no, I've got no idea why/when did that happen). Might also be that some error on the server has wiped it out. Whatever it was, the review simply wasn't there anymore.

With a new entry for the game placed on the site, the updater (guesst) decided that it would be a better idea to fix the review link in the old discussion thread rather then create a new one for what is in all respect one and the same game.

people who like champ man. should try "THE MANAGER" , imo that game is much better than champ man ;)

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Guest @ Jul 27 2006, 01:53 PM) [snapback]245442[/snapback]</div>I totally agree with you, just because it was a much simpler game... now a days, these damned manager games are too much complicate, I don't have enough patience to play them - too much statistics, too much info, very little to play there....

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(gregor @ Feb 20 2006, 06:04 PM) [snapback]208905[/snapback]</div>Yes he does deserve an A for the effort, but don't be to hard on him about his "bad English" - you should see his translation of the review to Portuguese :whistling: (if you understand Portuguese of course) It had almost as many mistakes as the original English version :bleh: :tomato: (just in case someone understands Portuguese and wants to check the review in that language, be aware that I already correct it; however if you still think it can be improved, PM me your suggestions :ok: )

i think "this game created a new type of genre for PC" is a bit of a overstatement.

Great Memories

ahem, a new genre, first of its kind indeed. Football Manager was the first of its kind, and that came out on the Sinclair ZX81 in either 81 or 82, and then the Spectrum. Of course the irony is that when the Collyers decide not to do another Champ Manager with Eidos, they immediately signed up with Sega, who had acquired the name rights to... Football Manager. FM 2005 and FM 2006 are the newer versions of champ manager, Champ Manger 2005 and 2006 are a load of crap by a third party company.

Mind you, i reckon FM/CM has totally lost its way now. The skills of the players are virtually irrelevant, and the game is stupidly weighted on historical strength. Get a lower league team into the Premiership and play chelsea and arsenal and you'll see what i mean. You might have done a Wigan by getting there, and stocked the team with world class internationals, but it still treats the team as lower league - you dont have a chance. Really, the best gameplay was in Champ Manger 2, simply because you could achieve real , satifying progress and win things.

Does anyone have a copy? I downloaded one but it needs a NO CD-hack to play. This is annoying as i've bought every version including that one and since then.

I love this game, thanks to the download that works, this is a gift, because it´s hard to find this game, so :kosta:

I'm probably showing my ignorance now but can anyone help me with this...
How do you sell a player... I can't remember how to do it and haven't been able to work it out either. Have tried from numerous menus but cannot seem to work it out.

Please help me! :wallbash:

Does anyone know where can i find it?

sorry to apear for the first time and already i am begging :P
thanks

Someone wasn't regular at this forum once. :embarassed:

As latter was shown that FM 2006 became my favorite FM(I created an empire out of Thun FC :D), this 2009 is the first one that has 3D, and it's pretty buggy so I don't play it much(:().

As for the first Championship Manager, my friend and I have tried it just for fun but were driven away by its slow processing.

?
 

Anyone know how to work this on vista?

With DOSBox.

Fist of all this game is not the first of its kind , i guess that would be a manager on a zx spectrum or bbc or some computer like that. ( I had a bbc , and it had a football manager and the basics were the same as this one ).

I personaly liked the game anstoss better ( if im not mistaken released in 1990 on Amiga ), ok its a german release ( dont now if there was a english release ) , but still.

It has way more advanced gameplay than championship manager, positioning of players for example , this was later introduced in other football manager games , rather than the position of a player being static like cd , lb and so on , it introduced players playing on multiple positions , for example the left back has also the capability to play left midfield , this player could be set to start on the left back position and advance to the left midfield position to free up other players , this way tactics become way more advanced because one has not only have to choose the position for a player , but also the position relative to another player , this way one could for example set sertain players to overrun an opponents weaker position , this means just like in real football , one player is better playing against a club due to his position and relative position than against another club where another player would be better.

Nobody said that. :huh:

The probably first soccer manager was Football Manager for ZXS in 1982.

The best!
 

Cm is the best game in my opinion!

I played a lot of this game...

Trick #1 - Press both mouse buttons... The time will run faster.
Trick #2 - Kleiton Tactic - I developed this fantastic tactic:

#######CFCFCF#########

#######CMCMCM########

##########GK##########

I was Uefa Champions League's Champion with Hartlepool...

LOL

[EDITED]

I´m an huge fan of footbal managing games, but i´ve never played the first cm.
The only problem with this early games, was that they were too easy, I think.

wtf
 

Hi. I started playing recently to this title. Yes, the first & original.
I was already in three teams and I already enjoy it.


I was happening to comment on a possible bug. Old bug indeed. :smile2:



In the first round of the Rumbelows cup we won 3-0 from home. I understand is a 'two-legged tie' round. So, in the next game we lost 0-1 away.


Somebody explain to me how they went through the next round.


:lame:


It's a fantastic and old bug or I'm missing something.
