Championship Manager 03/04

ragnar · 10-18-2003, 02:28 AM

The latest edition (and the last made by Sports Interactive) of Championship Manager looks to be better than ever. It will be released on November 21st.

More media events, better training system, improved match engine, pregame database editor, previously saved games and lots more.

The question is what will come after? Will there be any more good CM titles? What will come out of Sports Interactive? Only time will tell.

If the Collyer brothers are still involved I think the series will continue, even without Eidos Interactive. The game is far too popular to not continue, even if under a different name (Eidos retain the "Championship Manager" name while Sports Interactive - and thus the Collyer brothers, who are both co-chairmen - keep the player database and source code).

I'd like to see them link up with Ea, to have all the licenses and the like.

And then maybe EA can be bought by Rupert Murdoch ........................... then the Devil will control us all.

Yes, I would be rather surprised if Eidos came up with anything nearly as good as the CM series has been. I very much look forward to see what Sports Interactive will come up with after CM03/04. SI are gods when it comes to manager sims.

btw, I'm also anticipating Eastside Hockey Manager: Franchise Edition which will be a hockey manager built on the base of CM3. Looks very nice.

the last one they released was a disgrace they lost thousands of loyal cm fans due to such a badly programmed version, they were more bugs in the game than your local ran down shed

Which game do you refer to. CM4 is an excellent game in all respects. It's a thousand miles ahead of any competition.

Kolzig · 10-25-2003, 03:26 PM

CM4 is the greatest manager game ever built.

And they released many great enhancing patches for it.

That's shows some reliability towards Sports Interactive.

Eye-Z · 10-28-2003, 10:52 AM

my non blood related uncule actually created tracksuit manager which if you knew anything about manging games is what championship manager designers and producers used as a basis to create their game

all the tactic datbase game simulation was all down to that

and guess what they made the best managing games for 8 years in a row now,...untill cm4

which if any of you played enough would realise its bugged to the hilt...they messsed up

therefore losing lots of loyal cm gamers

and is pretty much the only managing game worth getitn sitll which is a damn shame.

i wanna see a boxing manager...anyone remember the old one? on the amiga?

They have competition from their old games (CM3 etc.). And I have played a lot of CM4 and I think it is an excellent game. Most bugs have been fixed with the most recent patch.

I'd play 25 seasons with Glasgow Rangers and the game wouldn't start at all in season 26. How many seasons are there supposed to be?

Kolzig · 08-16-2005, 11:38 PM

At least in the very old CM games like 96/97 the game lasted 30 seasons.
Nice to resurrect a two year old thread.

And I thought I was the only one weird enough to play this crap.

Still playing FIFA Football Manager 2003, though. 60.+ season or something.
