 Championship manager December 4, 2006

its ryt fun at the start but after a while it gets to easy because you can sign peple proper cheap that r ryt good like flamini its so easy i got accrington stanley into the premiership its just piss easy. there is one way to get people free here is how its done
Choose a player you want, then go to "Make Offer" under "Actions" on the player. Make a loan offer (must be 100% wages and one month). If he joins on loan, put him in the youth squad then select "Actions" and approach to sign him. He will then sign on a free transfer. Additionally, finish a season with a club of your choice then wait until July 1st. Then, go to "Player Search" and under "Contract Status" enter "Expired". Young quality players will be available for free.

Pros:
*Beautifully presented, easy to navigate interface. Excellent control buttons (e.g. pressing start scrolls to the next day).
*Well presented statistical information about players and clubs.
*Transfer deals are fun to negotiate and not impossible, as in some cases with FM (when a player outrightly refuses to entertain the notion of joining you).
*The 2-D match engine is superb, and fun to use, with different speeds.
*Good range of tactics.
*Good range of training regimes, which you can adapt to your own needs.
*Superb (short) loading times, never leaving you waiting for too long.
Cons:
*Tactics have little or no effect on the pitch. Match day alterations have no effect whatsoever. The game has decided the result and you (seemingly) have no influence on it.
*Training exercises have little effect on a team's performance. One would think hours of painstaking alterations would influence the team, but alas, they don't.
*The ability of players seems irrelevant to proceedings. For example, managing Manchester United, with high ability players, procures not even the slightest advantage when competing with lesser (lower division) teams.
Conclusion:
I have judged the game on its content. I have not criticised it for elements it doesn't contain (for example, "it should have had a bigger media component", etc).
Although I have listed more pros than cons, the cons are so detrimental to enjoyment of the game and (crucially in a game of this type) the player's belief that s/he can influence proceedings, that the positive elements are completely eroded. I do not recommend this game for purchase, and think it better to rent.

I bought Chamionship Manager instead of Football Manager because it had 2D match engine and custom tactics. That was a mistake.
There are three speed settings for the 2D engine all of which are either too slow or way to fast. If you choose to follow the text only you'll find it makes no sense; it seems to jump from freekick to freekick with no indication of what happens in between.
Tactics seem pretty ineffective as well. As Middlesbrough, away to Manchester City I played with ten upfront (no defence or midfield), and drew 0-0. As for transfers, Cristiano Ronaldo went to Aston Villa for 9 Million, enough said I think.
On the plus side the interface is fairly easy to get around.
I'm going to stick with Football Manger (2005) on the PC for now until the 2D match engine is added to PSP Football Manager.

Championship manager 2006 is real, i got into the game and learnt how to do everything including navigating on the screens to getting a coach report on a player. This game is truly emersive it has taken over my life its so addictive,
1.The game is so easy to get use 2(10 mins if you have played other champ managers)
2.realistic, to an extent, I am amazing at the game-not boasting- i won the legue with NEWCASTLE by 2 points and it was hard.
3.It is easy to sell a player - i sold 10 player in one season worth 54.17million and bought 86.42million worth of players including ROBBEN, ESSIEN, C.RONALDO, SO IT IS fun and easy to build a sucsesful team.
4.some of the players are a bit better than in real life,like luque is the third best player on the game and steven taylor who is like 22 is the best defender so it is a bit weird their but if your newcastle it helps.
overall this game is gr8 buy it.
