Championship Manager 2010 (PC)

I have always been a massive fan of games which fit into the football manager genre. I have been buying them ever since the advent of lma manager back in about 1997. Since then, i have owned virtually every title. Ranging from the brilliant (football manager 2008) to the damn right poor (Premier manager). Therefore, i believe that i have a good grasp of this market. Info ----- Championship manager is created by Eidos. This company used to be massively successful when it ran in conjunction with sports interactive. However, the pair split, with Eidos retaining the champ manager name, and sports interactive beginning to produce ...  Read the complete review

Like the previous reviewer, I also took advantage of the £2.51 pre-release download. It's the first time I have paid to download a game but I was very impressed with the service and delighted to get the game for such a low price. Again, as previously mentioned, it takes time to adjust to the ratings being out of 100 and not 20. I thought the 20 rating worked fine so I didn't see the need to change it. I have always been a Championship Manager fan. I was totally hooked on 03/04 and played that game until 2025! I was sad when the rights changed so I gave Football Manager a go and hated it. Thankfully, 'Champ' is back! The Scouting system is ...  Read the complete review

I have always been a fan of football management games and the first one I experienced was Championship Manager 2 back when I used to play against my best mate but following on from years of step ups there was a sudden drop in the quality of Championship Manager that led to many people (including me) switching to Football Manager but thankfully this game sees the series back on top where it deserves to sit. The game sees you take charge of your favourite team (I recommend you don't start with them on your first try as seeing your team do badly is never nice) and develop your club through a multitude of managerial decisions including transfers, tactics, training, etc. ...  Read the complete review

This is a disaster of a game. I am not sure whether Eidos felt it needed to 'do something' about the recent superiority of Football Manager in the market or just felt it needed to make a fool of itself. Championship Manager 2010 has more crashes than a F1 rally and Eidos seem not to be in a hurry to solve them. They kept telling people to submit crash reports yet nothing has been done about them. The 'progress' button sometimes goes on and on forever (for six minutes sometimes) without indicating whether you may continue the game or not. The games sometimes doesn't go past a certain month and loading saved games is a little bit confusing. The only saving ...  Read the complete review

I have always been a football manager man to be honest, however, due to me being pretty much skint and finding out from a friend that the makers of championship manager were offering a downloadable version for a minimum £2.50 before release. So i jumped at the opportunity! And i pleased to say that it was a wise investment, as it not only save me £20 but also its on par if not better than football manager. For those who already play football manager then i would say to defiantly consider this option for this season. Although it take time to adjust to the stats being out of 100 and not 20, after a while it becomes normal. Other little things like being ...  Read the complete review
