Championship manager
i gone through the "other side of the monitor" and all the games that are talked about are either rpgs or fantsy games.
so i am bringing up a thread about
championship manager 03/04
does any one have this game. i love it and the more recent versions of the game, such as football manager, just arent as good, mainlt because of the constant 10-0 scorelines
here are some links:
cm on gamespot just gives some walkthroughs
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/sports/champmanager0304/index.html?q=championship+manager
cm gamer is probably the best place ive found, it has a database of great players and tactics and everything
http://www.cmgamer.com/indexcmg.shtml
the dugout same as cm gamer just not as good
http://www.thedugout.net/
does any1 ave this game or am i the only one becasue this is a super game that i have been playing for days straight. please post your personal experiences and players that you have found to be exceptional
ill go first
Cesar Delgado. he is a super quick striker but i play him as a right wing because of his speed and crossing ability. get him quick ecasue other clubs are aware of him. his price will vary but he well worth whatever you buy him for.

I played this game a lot last year with one of my buddies, whom I lived with at the time. He was MUFC, I was CFC.
I think we played close to 7 seasons, and spent in all maybe 20 hours playing.
If you're after good players, Cesar Cambiasso from Inter is a very good player - and you can get him for *only* £9mill...
A cheaper player is Philip Gilder from Manchester City. AM RC, and with an initial crossball stat of 20, this one's good. I always say that a decent attack must be done through the wings, and Gilder's the man for the future out there. He's only 17 in the first season, so you'll have this diamond for a long time, if you can match him appropriately to get his stats up...
Another winger I'v had lots of use of, is Jermaine Pennant, from Arsenal. He plays on the left side, and is quick, godd at both passing ans dribbling, and can score goals as well.
If you have problems scoring goals, try to buy that Spanish striker that Arsenal bought from Sevilla last summer. (I cannot remember his name...) I got him for only £10.5mill during the 2nd season, and he scores goals as if he's paid for it.
Finally, for now, it is extremely important to make note of the fact that Thierry Henry is avaliable on a free transfer from the beginning of 2004. Shortlist him as early as possible, so that you can offer him a decent contract as soon as his contract to Arsenal has only 6 months left...

some good points terje but ive got some gold for u all.
never put these players on ur shorlist, bonera(parma), henry, davids and a few others. if u put these guys on ur shorlist then their clubs will give them another contract and they are gone AKA they will never be in ur team.
also go to player/staff search on 1st of jan to see whos contract is gonna run out in six months, if they are good get em. if they are worth alot sign them and if it doesnt work out u can sell them making a profit

Hmm. I never encountered that problem. Not once in all the seasons I've played in that game.
Arsenal is usually too poor to offer Henry a decent contract, so that problem has never been an issue for me...

i dont think i will get CM 5 anytime soon. i think that there is a certain inconsistancy with the games. some ppl like 00/01 but not others. while some hate that version. its not like H3 where everyone likes it.
i already got FM 05 and that was too hard. i think i might get it in about 5 years when it drops to a few bucks

Having played almost all of the CM series games, I have to say that FM2005 is so far the best.
Mainly because it finaly includes the Slovak league... so I'm free to win the CL with Slovan Bratislava
Right now I have finished my save with Wolverhampton, got some new patches and started a game with Brondby.
I mean the game is very good, but there are still things that could require improving, for example the interactions with players could use a helping hand, and the game gets quite slow after a few seasons. Something should be done about that especialy...
Oh and when looking for a great guy in midfield look no further then Thomas Gravesen...what this guy did for Wolves...wow

interesting theory. i have played CM 99/00, CM03/04 and FM 05 and i have to say CM 03/04 is the best IMO. maybe cause liver is so strong in that game.
i also find that FM has out of wack scores. i went to my friends house and he has a juventus team with constant 5-0, 6-0,7-2 scoreline wins
i am going to give FM another try, fingers crossed
Quote: and the game gets quite slow after a few seasons. Something should be done about that
i have a feeling ur rating is "lacks match practice"
see what u have to do is read a book during those sessions. u set the timer thingy to 10 seconds. so after 10 seconds the screen continues while u read a book. believe me. i got through a trilogy like that

hey people! Don't bother getting CM 5. It' pretty bad, according to the reviews I read online.
Now just get FM 2005, it feels just like CM!
Football Manager is great! It's dammmmmm addictive and they should have called themselves 'the Real Championship Manager'.
SI games and Eidos split, which result in 2 versions of CM.
One is fake, the other is real.
Need I say more?

i dunno but i think FM has a more CM feel. they just added a few more skills, a few more leagues and more features like enhanced media handling. the only bad thing is that there is often 7-0 score lines, and managing liverpool is hard

i just won the serie A with juventus. i had to vs AC milan at the end and i was losing 3-1. then i brought on emerson and he scored 2 and tezugeut scored again late and i won 4-3
i also beat them in the cup, they won the 1st leg 2-0 but i won the second leg 4-0
my best squad is
GK: buffon (goalie of the yr)
DR: zambrotta (valued the most, suprisingly)
DL: dede (got em free, not bad)
DC: canavaro (good DC)
DC: kompany (wonderkid, scores a few)
MC: van Bommel (signed for free, super when he gets going, recomended)
MC: emerson (scores when needed)
MC: kapo (likes to hit the spectators more than the goals but is good at assisting, scores a few)
FC: trezugeut (my top goals scorer in the serie A)
FC: imbrahimovic (poweful striker)
FC: robinho (rarely scores just one goal. if he scores one then another follows. also good at assists)
S1: rustu (decent)
S2: severi (sum guy with many 20 stats (20yrs old))
S3: tudor (decent)
S4: cameronesi (great player just like vam bommel
S5: tachinardini/nedved (both good)
S6: crespo (if the goals were 1 metre longer this guy would score all the time but since they are not he scores rarely
S7: del piero (gets tired often)
i also have a few others like adu
my team report shows 5 stars for all players and my second report has about 5 stars
u guys post ur sides
edit: ohhh, change that seria A win to a double. i also won the italian cup
