Advantages: No better Football Manager sim game in the world. Disadvantages: Not enough hours in the day to play it.
...game I ever played was Championship Manager Season 1997/98. I bought it from new. And still play the game to this day. Over the years the style of play and the game itself have changed beyond all recognition. Would I still like the game? Is it still as addictive? These were questions I wanted to know and finally I got hold of Championship Manager Season 00/01. This is my opinion.

Made by Eidos Interactive ... ...to even think about. Championship Manager has been the best football management sim game for a lot of years. They work hard on it and it works. I think I would have to say that what is bad about the game is finding your way around. The game is big so therefore there is a lot of navigating to do but even though I realise this I do not like it. I find something new think to myself brilliant and then lose it again and have to search for ages to find ...

The game was called Championship Manager, and has since spawned its own production company (Sports Interactive), numerous sequels, a major advertising deal with Umbro, and most importantly millions and millions of CM addicts across the world.

Championship Manager took that genre to the next level on the Amiga, but it was Championship Manager 2 which really cemented the series’ place in the history books.
CM 00-01 is actually an advanced version of Championship Manager 3, and will be superceded by CM 01-02 in October. Because of that, it’s currently available at bargain prices everywhere – for example, if you enter the Daily Telegraph’s ...

Championship Manager admittedly doesn’t have any fancy 3d graphics to boast of and also the sound is very limited.

Championship manager is the best football management simulation ever because there is nothing like it. The previous games were always the best. They always contained more and more players than any other games. As the requirements of the consumer meant that just buying players wasn’t enough so additions that no other games had were added.

Championship Manager has got to be the most frustrating game I've ever played. Championship Manager 97/98 was easy, but still annoying at times. Championship Manager 3 was completely new. New options, more advanced, overall better, but harder. Championship 99/00 was much of the same. And now Championship Manager 00/01 is out. It's a lot better, it has a lot more options, a lot more can happen, yet in my case, it's seemingly, even harder. The latest ... ...management games ever?) is better than its predessecors.

Advantages: A great number of additional features as reffered to of the previous Championship Manager versions, and is possibly the best football related game ever made. Disadvantages: There are no real disadvantages, that I can think of.
Championship Manager 00/01 is highly recommended for a football fan. You have the option of being in control of the senior team or reserve team or in some cases the A team or the B team.
You have the choice of being in charge of any league, first division, second division, third division and conference team in the English league. You can also be the manager of any team in the other twenty-five leagues available.
You can set ‘nicknames’ ... ...say, no comment.
In Championship Manager 00/01, there is great player analysis with ‘shots on target’, ‘pass completion’, and ‘average rating,’ ratios.
You have what is called ‘live league action’ where it shows yours, and other teams league positions, live, even if it is the premiership, the Welsh second division or the UEFA Champions League.
You can request a premier league match postponement from ...

The only bad thing about this game is that it takes a long time to master due to its complexity, and this makes the game difficult to play if you are not commited enough to take time to realy get into it.

...been addicted to every single championship manager game since the very first one. I also know how easy it is to drone on in every opinion about how wonderful your subject is. This, is no exception. The recently added extras to this new version just adds to the addiction value. Admittedley, itis not that much diferent from the previous version but it's still a class game which as been updated.

It's potentially a very good idea, but the idea of just having three options to respond to the reports is not. I've felt in the past that eidos have been very generous in the choice of options department, like when you want to set the players squad status, but they have broken this reputation ...
