Championship Manager 2008 Update 20133/29/2021
Again players take the role of a football club manager and perform tasks like taking charge of tactics, training, signing new players, negotiating contracts etc.Naturally player rosters and statistics have been updated to match the new season.With the Australia League added the number of playable nations increased to 27.Like in its predecessor players can view statistics of the matches in the ProZone tool which offers detailed analytical information.
During matches you can select various overlays which show useful information such as how the opponent is changing strategy and the stats of certain players. Pop-up pointers provide feedback on selected items throughout the entire interface. Negotiations for transfers have been improved allowing for more flexibility and more detailed haggling. Its taken us two or three versions to understand how players move off the liall or do the more intelligent things that a footballer can do. This 2008 version of the game was released in 2007 and is a solid entry in the series. This is a management game that is for football fans and also those who are not scared of a challenging and complex time. As someone who enjoys football management sims, I like what this game is offering. ![]() Some people when they play a game like Championship Manager 2008 like to pick a massive club right away like a Chelsea or a Manchester UTD. Others like to start with a lower league team and try and build them up into a superpower, it really is up to you how you want to go about it. I like how you can also manage an international side in this game, but I found that it was not quite as exciting or as involving as being the manager of a club team. Money plays a massive role in this game and keeping the board happy with a nice profit is just as important as keeping the fans happy with success on the pitch. It is a very delicate balancing act that is much harder to do with smaller clubs. You are always walking a tightrope and sometimes you have to say goodbye to a key player in order to balance the books. I like this aspect of the game as it always keeps you on your toes. Making a huge signing that costs a fortune in wages and the transfer fee is great. However, if that signing does not live up to expectations you will have the board and the fans on your back. ![]() Now it is a management sim, but later football manager games went all-in with their presentation, especially the match engine. This game came out when that was not the norm and as a result, what we have here is a very basic looking game. It gets the job done, but a tad more flash and flair to the presentation would not have hurt. Actually, I found playing this game while listening to some of my favorite tunes to be a great way to relax after a long day at work. I love football, so I was able to have a lot of fun with this and be willing to learn the games little quirks. It is a game that is going to demand a great deal of your time and if you are willing to give it your time, I feel you will get a lot out of it. But for Ricliard Green, studio manager at Beautiful Game Studios, hope springs eternal with the belief that this years contest will lie far harder to call tlianks to CMOffs liost of new features and improvements. Erratic player liehaviour, unconvincing build-up play and top sguads playing like the Dog and Ducks pub team were just three of its many sliortfalls. Everything that happens emerges from the stats of each player.
