Basically, it's a moving version of the tactics board so beloved by Andy Gray on Sky Sports. you won’t need to peruse our hardware section for a new 3D card, but we can confirm the existence of an optional 2D match engine which will run concurrently with the traditional text commentary. OK, so 'graphics' might be stretching the point a little. So what have they done for this fourth version proper? Only gone and added a graphics engine. For more than a decade, the game has enraptured a generation of virtual managers through the simple medium of words. The success of Championship Manager, however, has always been built on a basic unmoveable foundation: no graphics. After all, were it not for the invention of the toilet, we’d still be hanging our clinkers out of a first floor window of a morning.

Nevertheless, it inexorably creeps up on us and engulfs us in its terrifying newness. These are to be fair, no better or worse than in the last game, but whatever they have done here resulted in increased load times as you went from screen to screen which was annoying. You could see how your players were working on the pitch and you could get a better idea if your tactics were working or not.Īs well as this new engine, the overall look of the game had gone under a few changes. However, back when this was released this match engine was a game-changer. I know if you are looking at this in 2020, you will wonder what the big fuss is. The big addition to Championship Manager 4 is the new 2D match engine. It is very addictive and if you are a football fan, you will be well and truly addicted to this game. One where I play a Premier League team and another where I play as a lower league team trying to make it to the top. The way you go about this is up to you, but I always like to have a couple of games going.

When all that was done it said "wrong disc" ok, so I cracked it, it finally got working, started a new save, spent hours on training schedules etc, so when I loaded it up a second time ALL FIXTURES and PLAYER HISTORY was ERASED, then I used this sites patch, the crap refused to fully patch the game, AGAIN error fkn bullshit, so I went and got the 4.0.7 No Data Patch, worked fine no issues, but that still didn´t solve the issue of fixtures, history etc disappearing again when loading up the save file.The goal of this game is the same as it has been in all the other games and that is to be the best football manager you can.

Also I couldn´t install it with Daemon tools, it nearly broke my computer, wtf! So I burnt the damn thing on a dvd and ran it from there. Secondly when I got it installed with only one error message but got through it by clicking retry. This version is so fkn broken: the installation was a hassle error messages kept interrupting the process, so I reinstalled it like 5 times to figure out what´s the problem.
