BWRL Posted 9 April 2010 Share Posted 9 April 2010 I've always used champ man as football manager never worked on my old comp. However, i' ve got a new laptop now and I'm tempted to make a purchase, but what does it have that champ man doesn't? Basically is it worth it?

Bryn Posted 9 April 2010 Share Posted 9 April 2010 There honestly is no comparison, its not worth me bothering to explain why, just rest assured FM is vastly, vastly superior to CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMX11 Posted 10 April 2010 Share Posted 10 April 2010 The most recent champ manager is actually laughable, I tried the demo and it is so unrealistic and frustatingly poor it is really not worth £5. My understanding was that the old champ manager team now does FM so it's basically still the same just a different name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Eidos bought the naming rights to Championship Manager from SI Games. Part of the deal was that SI Games kept the property rights to their vast database. SI Games with the original game creators at the helm, simply renamed the game to Football Manager and developed a new and superior match engine. With the years of research and knowledge as well as the vast scouting network, they were always going to hold the upper hand and the continued 'Championship Manager' series has since been viewed as a joke and a massive flop.

Yeah pretty much. SI got everything but the name, and it was them that had the expertise in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eidos kept the 'brand', which is the name and the look and feel. We kept the code and the database. Eidos then tried to create our game from scratch, which was silly really as we had a several year head start on them and all the foundations already in place.

Hitesh Posted 11 April 2010 Share Posted 11 April 2010 And they're really struggling at the moment to with the cancelling on their online game. FM all the way at the moment and with the way its going, it doesn't look like the CM series is close! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
