Despite Being billed as the battle of the brands, the head-to-head showdown between Sports Interactive's Football Manager and Eidos' Championship Manager never materialised, with CM5 now slated for any time between January and June of According to brand director John Webb, "The PC release of Championship Manager 5 was deferred from October in order to allow for further development and refinement of the game.
Whilst the game is in good shape, we believe that it will benefit from additional improvements to further increase its competitive edge. However, with Football Manager flying off the shelves, it's a safe bet that the CM5 team have at least had a dabble with it. That said, we are continuing to concentrate on our original focus areas for CM5: speed of gameplay, realism and accessibility. Other than the significant speed gains which will be delivered by CM5, the biggest areas of improvement are in the training and tactical aspects of the game.
There are now more and more realistic tactical options to allow the manager to hone their team's performance, whilst the training area has been made more usable and accessible.

Keep your PC running smoothly even with multiple instances. Customize in-game FPS for an incredibly seamless gaming performance. Now you do not have to press the same key repeatedly to initiate an action. Just assign it to one key and you are good to go. Complete Google sign-in to access the Play Store, or do it later. You need to count on tactic moves, formation strategies and much more. Instead of directly controlling a football player during matches, you get to oversee the logistics concerning the football club.
From training and handling finances to set up matches and fan signing events, managing a team, and helping them rise to fame is just as important and can be just as challenging. Unlike the other games, this one had no new playable leagues added—until a patch for South Korea's K-League was added—so the mechanics were polished more. The game also lets you send players away for surgery, make player notes and comparison—plus, there are fictional characters available.
Interaction with the media and board has been improved, as well. After the game became free to download , its online community endeavored to provide patches and data updates. Even then, it was an all-consuming management game, with a level of detail and involvement never before seen. CM has since evolved to include more leagues, more information, more statistics and greater tactical control, but even after a decade of updates, at its heart CM remains the same addictive-as-hell game with a cast iron guarantee of hours, days, weeks, months of anguish, tension and sheer enjoyment.
The game can become an obsession. You think it at work or in the car, wondering if Michael Bridges can cut it at the top level or just how long can Teddy Sheringham compete in Premiership "no" and "two seasons maximum" are the answers. CM is also a breaker of homes - just ask my missus after she hasn't heard from me for six hours and another essential DIY project is left undone for another weekend.
So we've established Sports Interactive's title is the greatest management sim ever, and for many, the greatest PC game ever. But what about the nuts and bolts - how do you turn Southend United into Real Madrid? How do you keep Doug Ellis happy without spending any cash? Well, you take over a team from any one of about 20 countries , pick a squad, train them, select a tactical system that works and then pick the side and watch them play - in an exciting, text-only way of course.
To complicate matters there are injuries, transfers, money matters, player contracts, demanding chairmen, demanding fans, demanding players and their evil agents, the media poking their noses in, the FA and of course other managers, like Sir Alex, tapping up your best players. What the already initiated among you will want to know is what's changed since last time. The most obvious is the new player database. Well, it's only about three weeks behind - Stam has been kicked out of United, Dean Richards is at Spurs, but Peter Taylor has not been sacked by Leicester yet.
As well as the database being up to date, so is the transfer system - a few weeks into the first season, a new UEFA directive, which is far too complicated to go into here, comes into force.
There are wordy, on-screen explanations, but basically there is less of the Bosman free-for-all approach to transfers and smaller clubs are more likely to be financially compensated for the loss of a key player. The teams are represented in almost too much detail - take over Manchester United, Inter, Bayern Munich or Real Madrid and the board will want the Champions League, but you'll have pots of cash.
Celtic or Rangers want the Premier League and a good show in Europe. The chairmen on the middle ranking side like Spurs, Aston Villa or Newcastle will want a UEFA Cup place, but you'll have a limited transfer fund and really need to sell to get any quality in. Anything lower and the quest becomes survival with very limited funds, and more often than not, a huge debt that needs to be cleared before any new players can be bought - only year-old pros or teenage hopefuls are usually available for free.
That brings me on to the first main modification - manager power. Fed up of chairmen giving you the brush-off? Well, now you can deliver a "back me or sack me" ultimatum. And in an eerie echo of the George Graham sacking, I demanded Spurs to put their short arms into their deep pockets to fund our Inter Toto campaign - and was dumped on the spot.
Thankfully, I was rescued from the jobseekers queue by a plum job at Chesterfield. A similar feature allows you to appeal to the FA against a sending off - do it once and you might get a key player's ban reduced. Do it too often and you'll get a reputation as a whinger and never be taken seriously again. The optional attribute-masking mode is a great addition, which sometimes prevents you getting a full run-down of a player's abilities.
You might know if he's a good header of the ball, but his determination, work-rate and stamina will be a mystery, until your scouts have had a good look at him. The football world is packed with examples of players who were not scouted properly and came a cropper - remember Savo Milosevic of who Aston Villa manager had only seen a compilation video of him in action.
And there was the embarrassing matter of the new 'George Weah' picked by Graham Souness at Southampton who had to be pulled off after five minutes because he quite clearly hadn't a clue. The same applies now - scout the players first, then buy.
