Championship Manager 01 02
I have recently upgraded my laptop to windows 10 and now my husband can't install Championship Manager 01/02. He could on Windows 8 so now he's very.
Championship Manager 01 / 02 marks the latest and final update to the Championship Manager 3 engine, and at the time of going to press has already broken UK PC game sales records, shifting well over 100,000 copies within a day or two of launch. It's quite popular then, and on face value it is quite hard to see why. Naturally, the game does boast a startlingly accurate array of teams, players and competitions from the best leagues and competitions of world football. Yes, it does allow every man to fulfill his boyhood dream of controlling a football club down to the most intricate details of training, signing, tactics, injuries, and finance. But at the end of the day, Champ Man is still just a collection of statistics and results.
Yet it is from this anal accountancy-style attention to the hard facts and figures that make the game the joy it is to play; for underneath the coldness of the database lies the true essence of Football. Never has a game captured the thrills and spills of the real thing so accurately as in this case, it's just so damn believable, and ultimately addictive and fun.
Because football is fun, and when you're in control the tactical wizardry, signing of new players and day to day squad management prove even more intriguing than watching the match. Though the result is always paramount. It is the truth in this that lies behind why Championship Manager is the success it is. This is game of Chess-ethics, where visual wonders are irrelevant and base compared to the higher-plane of the mental work-out.
So what's this latest installment got going for it other than the previously mentioned realism and cunning of the gameplay? Well, firstly, the commentary is far less repetitive and much better written during matches, the news and information reporting system is more comprehensive and useful, the club / player data is accurate up to October when the was completed, and Sports Interactive have added some more nice background photos.
All of which leaves CM 01 / 02 fit for the new season and an essential edition to any footie fans gaming collection. With the next installment, CM4, Sports Interactive are promising support for multiplayer gaming, and possibly, a tactical view of players during the match.. I look forward to this with drooling impatience. In the meantime, I'm off to continue Liverpool's season of destiny, the European Cup is within my grasp, I urge you to do the same, for Championship Manager is simply the best football management simulation ever.
The latest version of the greatest football management game ever is now here on the PC. Season 01/02 is based on the CM3 engine, and will be the latest update until the completely new CM4. It contains all the updates to CM3 that patches and the previous update version Season 00/01 brought, plus some new ones of it's own that I will talk about later. I would first like to remind you that this is not an add-on pack for CM3 or CM00/01, but another new version.
Now, a lot of you out there probably like football, but many of you don't, and I would like to warn you that this is a football-fans-only game. You don't need to be any sort of dedicated fan, just someone who likes the game in some way or another. Football haters will probably not enjoy this game, but may find if worth a try due to the fun it offers.
Play Championship Manager Online
Anyway, on the game - it consists of thousands of screens of precise football data that can be used to make you the ultimate football manager. As expected, you lead a team from one of 26 nations (each with more than one league), and guide the team to the top. Whether this be the Premiership, Serie B Promotion, or Champions League victory, it's your choice, and you can make any team go all the way if you're good enough. You can play for as long as you like, and watch teams change stadium, managers, and staff, predicted from real-life situations.
The game does not feature a graphics engine at all. Instead, the games are played with flashing commentary. This isn't a bad point, however, as games using a graphics engine for the games have tended to be poor, and this feature in Champ Man has always worked fine for many.
As previously, the game features pictures behind the menus, but for the first time, they are not of the clubs the stats are about. This is due to Sports Interactive getting sued by an unnamed Football Association over the data being used in Championship Manager: Season 00/01. So, you get pics of the SI team and pics licensed from their local club, Manchester City. However, the game comes with a picture editor allowing you to add your own pics in the game, so you can make it what you like. Also, you could always copy the pics from a previous CM3 version into the CM01/02 pics directory and get back what you lost. It's not Sports Interactive's fault, so we cannot fault them for this.
The sounds are pretty good in game, with cheers from the crowd when you score, but not having a graphics engine could have been made up with full commentary. But then, decent in-game commentary has yet to appear in a computer game.
Might and magic 6 quests. As in the rest of the series, all action is shown through the eyes of the party. Upon party creation, the player chooses classes for each character, which determines their abilities. However, the player's movement is severely limited in turn-based mode. The characters improve in ability using a mix of class-based and skill-based systems.
The gameplay in Champ Man has not been beaten. It offers so much depth that you don't know where to start. All the vital statistics that complete the game are there are can be used by you to buy the best players around.
Championship Manager: Season 01/02 is a game you'll come back to again and again. Even after this review I will continue to play this game, and improve my team's performance, and the inclusion of the player editor allows you to create your own teams and take them to the top.

Put yourself into the game, your family, your colleagues, your pets, put their pics in with the picture editor and you have a game that offers limitless lifespan as well as self-customization. This is football heaven.

Championship Manager 01/02 Legends. Where are they now?
Inspired by this FIFA 07 post, I go back to the future once again. This time 1 and a half decades ago.
Ah, 2002, things were much simpler back then. When the only thing keeping you away from success was your imagination (and skill), as imagining everything you read made it more exciting. When you could buy OP Scandinavians for very low prices. When you were looking through the Greek teams and wondering why does this unknown 19 year old have a bunch of 20s, only to find out 10 years later that the supposed golden generation was mostly fictional players (true story). When Cristiano Ronaldo had 160 potential ability.
As you pick your team one by one for the next match you realise your star player is injured. You have to promote a youngster from the reserves hoping he will do the job. You start the match. You are already nervous. No fancy stuff like team talks, it's just you and your team.
Dionisis Chiotis-Goalkeeper
Championship Manager 01/02 Wonderkids
Chiotis was a workhouse. His high workrate and bravery made you feel safe at the back altough stuff like handling and reflexes weren't very high in the beggining. In real life , he has just taken the first choice spot in AEK Athens and he also made Champions League appearences. A combination of falling out of favor and injuries saw Chiotis leave AEK for Kerkyra in 2007. A year later he transferred to APOEL and got european exposure as APOEL famously reached the Champions League quarter-finals with Chiotis playing an important role. A short spell to Trikala followed in 2015-16. At the age of 39 Chiotis is still active playing for Football League side Appolon Smyrnis. Chiotis won 1 Cup with AEK , 5 league titles, 2 cups and 4 super cups with APOEL and has 1 Greek cap.
Assane N'Diaye-Defender
A physical monster, N'Diaye had all the attributes you would want from a hard-working defender. Things weren't like that in real life though. N'Diaye was thought to be lazy and lacking determination. His career at top level football didn't last very long as he moved back to the Senegalese League after his spell at Shakhtar. Along with some honours in his home country he won 1 league title and two cups with Shakhtar, He was capped 37 times for the Senegalese NT scoring 3 goals. Unfortunatelly, he died on 2008 aged 33.
Taribo West-Defender
A player who was more known for his haircuts than his football career West was solid defender on the Free Agent Pool that would start for most teams in the game. West was part of a controversy regarding his real age with some claiming he was actually 12 years older. Making his name in Europe with Auxerre, West transferred to Inter in 1997 and then to rivals Milan 3 years later where he failed. Multiple short spells followed in England (Derby and Plymouth Argyle towards the end of his carrer), Kaiserslautern, Partizan and Al-Arabi. He retired in 2007 after being released by Iranian club Paykan. He won 1 league title and 2 cups with Auxerre, 1 UEFA Cup with Inter and 1 league with Partizan. He has been capped by Nigeria 42 times and won a gold medal in the 1996 Olympics.
Mark Kerr-Midfielder
Another amazing cheap midfielder, Kerr hasn't achieved anything special in his carrer. He spent most of his career in Scotland's First and Premier Division playing for 7 different teams along with a short spell at Asteral Tripolis in 2010-11. Now at 34 he is back at Falkirk a place where all CM fans discovered and loved him. Kerr has won the First division with Falkirk in 2003 and has 1 Scotland B cap.
Kennedy Bakircioglu-Midfielder
One of the famous Scandinavian wonderkids, while he didn't achieve what the game said he would, he had a decent career. After 5 successful at Hammarby, he joined Iraklis in the Greek Super League. After impressing Twente he was snapped up in 2007. Two years later he transferred to Ajax. After losing his place in the team he left for Racing Santader in 2010. Like Kerr, he went back to Hammarby, now in Swedish second division, in 2012 where most first got to know him. At 36 he is still active playing for Hammarby. At an interview, Kennedy himself said that he played CM transferring himself at Barcelona thinking of what could have been. He won 2 league titles (1st and 2nd division) with Hammarby, 1 cup and 1 super cup at Ajax. He has 14 Swedish caps.
Kim Kallstrom-Midfielder
Another Scandinavian wonderkid, Kallstrom could be signed for around 1-2 mil. Spending his early career in Sweden, Kallstorm moved to France in 2004 signing with Rennes. In 2006 he moved to Lyon where he is most known for playing. After 6 very good years at Lyon he moved to Spartak Moscow with a horrendus loan spell at Arsenal during 2014. He then left for Grasshoppers and played there until 31 January 2017. 3 days ago he went back Djurgardens. While not a world beater, Kallstrom was a vital player in a very good Lyon team. Kallstrom has won 2 league titles and 1 cup with Djurgardens, 2 league titles, 2 cups and 2 super cups with Lyon and an FA cup with Arsenal. He is the 4th most capped Swedish player with 131 caps scoring 16 goals. He retired from the NT after Euro 2016.
Tonto Zola Moukoko-Attacker
Not much can be said about Tonton as I failed to find much information. After failing to make a single appearence for Derby he spent his career in lower leagues of Sweden and Finland. According to Wikipedia he is now the manager of a club called Kongo United FC.
Maxim Tsigalko-Attacker
Another lethal strikes which didn't look amazing on paper but he had 20s in all the right places for a forward. Actually named Maxim Tsyhalka, he started his career at Dinamo Minsk. A player that could have achieved more if it wasn't for his injuries as he put some good performances in the UEFA Cup with Dinamo Minsk. After failing at fellow Belarusian Premier League team Naftan Novopolotsk he had short spells at Kazakhstan and Armenia. His last club was Savit Mogilev, a team that only existed for 3 years. At the same year he joined the club disbanded. After a career full of injuries he retired in 2010 at the age of 26. Tsyhalka won 1 league title and one cup with Dinamo Minsk. He was capped by Belarus 2 times scoring 1 goal.
Cherno Samba-Attacker
Finishing the list is English wonderkid Cherno Samba. He was the perfect striker. Good finisher, good aerial presene, fast and strong. He didn't have the same luck in real life. After scoring 132 goals in 32 matches as a 13 year-old, many started speculating that he was lying about his age. After Millwal rejected a 2 mil bid from Liverpool Samba was basically never heard again. A mix of lack of first team football and attitude problems he moved to Spanish club Cadiz and had a loan spell at Malaga B. He returned to England with an unsuccesful spell at Plymouth Argyle. Short spells at Haka, Panetolikos and Tonsberg were followed with low impact. After being 3 years without a club Samba announced his retirement in 2015 due to an injury. Samba has been capped by Gambia 4 times and scored 1 goal.
