Championship Manager 99/00 (PC)

Championship Manger 99/00 is the latest in a series of football management simulations (although Champ Man 4 is due out early December 2000). It’s probably the best series in the football management simulation world and Champ Man 99/00 is probably the best football management game ever! Possibly even a contender for the best PC game ever. It really is that good. However I’m writing this opinion from the point of view of an avid football fan and although it easily holds my attentions, if you don’t love football maybe it won’t make a lasting impression upon you. Although the game does provide the player with a ‘buzz’ it ...  Read the complete review

Championship Manager is one of the best selling computer games ever on any format. A football management simulation, the secret of its success is the pure depth of the statistics that it contains as well as its incredible addictiveness. Once you start guiding Nuneaton Borough to the dizzy heights of 17th in the Nationwide Conference League, you'll know what I mean...

Installing the game is relatively straightforward, and the manual gives sufficient details about how to do this. The country ...  Read the complete review

Championship manager season 00/01 is the best football management game out. You can do as much as a real manager could in football. First off you can choose a variety of teams around the world, and not just the top division’s.

Your players can be suspended for a bad disciplinary record, they can retire from football for being to old and you can even fine them for a ...  Read the complete review

I dont remember why but about 3 years ago i bought a game called championship manager 2. At first I didnt like it, then it grew on me. One summer I played it every day for about 6 hours a day!

Lets get one thing straight Championship Manager is not a game, its an entity, a living breathing thing, it takes over you and your life. It makes you ignore your friends and stops you eating, your social life is terminated when you buy this game. This can be heaven and hell at the same time, you either hate this game or you LOVE it there is no inbetween. At the start of the game you get to choose which league (English, Italian etc) you wish to play in and which team you wish to manage. It also offers you numerous choices on how many other leagues you want to run at the same time. This all depends on how powerful your computer is, and my computer, which is a ...  Read the complete review
