Well not really, but there have ironed it out a bit. I think it runs much more smoothly than CM4, and also more stabile. In each players profile you now have a "Training progress" button, which shows you how the players stats have increased or decreased during training.

its easier to sell players, maybe just to easy.

I transferlisted Trez, and Madrid offered med 11£ + Zidane... Its just a tad to unrealistic, but im sure it will be fixed in the first patch!

The 2D pitch has also improved.

The coaches and managers, now rate their own players by giving them stars. And the media is also more involved in CM 03/04... They are finding up some crazy rumours aswell :D

But one little thing that bothers me REALLY MUCH is that Nedveds workrate is 16 :( :( :( Honestly his workrate should just say HORSE :D

It seems pretty smooth and very neat-looking.

The feature i like most of all so far is that it takes a split-second to Alt+Tab out of it :D, unlike those pesky 3D games. Very useful!

I just played my first match against Milan without doing much, just sat back and watched. Won 1-0 :extatic:

Guess who got injured? Tudor :wallbang: Very realistic game :p

I have a question. Is this game available in the United States?

Is it a pure simulation, or do you actually get to play it.

Please pardon my ignorance on this subject.

You don't play as in Fifa, you just set up the team and make the transfers, then look at some stats from the matches, compare goalscoring rates and transfer values. The closest you get to "playing" is a very lame 2D animation.

Well, that's pretty cool. It's like an updated Strat-O-Matic baseball game, except it's on PC. I'm sure some people here have no idea what I'm talking about, but it's a card/board game that was very popular in the 70's, where you would pick a team, and they would have their stats on them, and you would roll a dice and that would dictate the matchups and situations.

I'm just wondering if it's available in the US. If it is, I'd like to try it.

    If you just want to try it, put "Championship Manager 01/02 Demo" or "Championship Manager 03/04" into Google, and you'll get a version which will let you play half a season in one league.

    It takes a few days to really get into, but once all the little sections and possibilites are second nature to you, you'll waste whole weeks of your life on it. Definately recommended.

    That doesn't do it justice! You manage most fathomable sides of the game that a manager has to ...manage

    The people who don't understand this game (my brother, for instance) will just laugh and wonder how you can possibly be entertained by flashing text on a screen (the 2D field with blips was only introduced in the 2nd last release).

    It's really fun if you're a footie fanatic, because you really see the rewards of your training. Trust me, once you first get addicted to this game, you'll start carrying around a notebook and jotting down all the good formations and lineups you can think of.

    It goes on and on.... this game should carry the same label as cigarette packets:

    "Very addictive."

    "Hazardous to your health" wouldn't be inappropriate either ;)

    CM to me is all about the transfer market :cool: I always like to try new players I haven't played before, usually young players and get them together in a team. After a few seasons it's a world beater ;)

    I remember in CM3, when Robbie Keane was at Wolves, he was the first player I'd sign. His pace and finishing were excellent, and that's pretty much all that mattered for forwards back then :thumb:

    Hmmm if you bought the game, why did you look for a crack? :confused::confused:
