For The First time since Beautiful Game Studios took over development duties, the Championship Manager series poses a threat to Football Manager's dominance. Instead of the usual 12-month development cycle, Eidos gave BGS two years to create Championship Manager 2010, and the extra time has certainly paid off. An all-new 3D match engine has replaced the bowling-pin players of CM2008, resulting in a far more immersive and believable experience.
Visually, CM2010's match engine trumps FMOVs, though there are still some question marks hanging over match realism. Games are best watched in the highlights mode, during whichexciting passages of play help mask the engine's full match deficiencies. There are a few glitches on show here too, such as players sometimes hoofing the ball into touch for no apparent reason, goalkeepers parrying shots half a foot in front of their limbs and players bouncing off each other as though they're made of rubber. However, there are also many thrilling and tactical moments to enjoy, with playmakers putting their foot on the ball before making that killer pass, oafish centre halves knocking the fillings out of the opposition, and skilful players embarking on mazy runs. Resolume arena 5.
Goalkeepers have also hugely improved since the hit-and-miss CM2008, no longer resolutely sitting on their lines as strikers charge towards them in one-on-one situations, but instead rushing forward to narrow the angle. These net-minders also leap impressively for shots and crosses and as a result are far more believable than FM09s bag-of-spuds 'keepers.
Not A Rip Off![]()
There are hundreds of excellent player animations to enjoy, ranging from players pulling up their socks, burying their heads in their hands and peeling off towards the crowd to celebrate goals. The full-screen action is further improved by varying stadium and weather effects, while a collection of excellent pop-up tactical and information tabs allow you to quickly change strategies and keep an eye on the myriad of informative statistics. Training is another area that lias received an extensive revamp. You can now watch your squad being put through its paces on the training pitch, which allows you to test new tactics, formations and line-ups without fear of getting the sack. The tactical match analysis tool ProZone is also far more useful this time around, thanks to the game's increased challenge levels and more tactical match action.
Tine new media feature is another plus point, providing you with short news reports about the latest transfer activity from across the globe. And speaking of transfers, CM2010 allows you just enough leeway to buy star players, but some robust negotiation features and greater player demands ensure that singing them is never a foregone conclusion.
When it conies to issuing individual and team tactical instructions, there's no shortage of options. You can set your team's formation both for defensive and offensive phases of play and create player feeds and runs, while an easy to use drag-and-drop tactics chart lets you target specific opposition weaknesses.
After many years of slavishly copying Football Manager, BGS has broken with tradition by attempting to innovate. A prime example is the new scouting system, which forces you to scout players several times before you can ascertain their abilities. The more times you have them watched, the more accurately their stats are represented. You can also set up scouting networks across the world to find undiscovered talent, which you can then hopefully snap up for pennies.
While CM2010 is far from perfect (navigation remains a problem for one) there's more than enough here to warrant a closer look. It may lack the complexity and sheer, unrelenting hardcore realism of Football Manager. but if you've been hankering for a fun, innovative and forgiving alternative to Sports Interactive's behemoth, then Championship Manager 2010 could be just the ticket.
Championship Manager 2010 is an Association Footballmanager simulation video game. It is developed by Beautiful Game Studios and published by Eidos Interactive. It was released for Microsoft Windows on September 11, 2009 making it the first Championship Manager game to be released before Football Manager since Championship Manager 2007.[1]
The Mac OS X version of the game shipped from Virtual Programming on November 23, 2009.[2]
Features[edit]
Due to the game's two year development time, developers Beautiful Game Studios implemented several new features to football management games.
3D match engine[edit]
The match engine underwent a radical overhaul with the result being a fully animated match engine with over 500 individual player animations. There are seven different camera angles, replays and the ability to record and re-watch matches. This helps the Manager to see how their decisions and instructions manifest themselves on the playing field in 3D.
Set Piece creator[edit]
This feature enables managers to create Set Pieces. You can call upon all the individual strengths of your squad members to produce the perfectly executed free kick. The creator splits the set piece into a number of stages so managers can fine tune every crucial step from passing direction, cross/chips and runs to coordinating your defence when a corner is taken against you.
Scouting network[edit]
Scouting for new players is now a more accessible feature. Managers are given a world map view of their knowledge of different countries and expenditure allocation. Scouts report back the up-and-coming star players from around the world allowing you to dedicate more of your time to other areas.
Drill training[edit]
Managers can now set up drills to see how their players match up against each other – shooting, crossing, practice matches and much more all shown in the three-dimensional match engine.
CM Season Live[edit]
A first in the football management genre, CM Season Live is a monthly downloadable update which brings you all the latest events from the world of football, dropping you into the action at key defining moments in the season.
Mail and media[edit]
A huge range of messaging in the game enables you to have far greater access to information and news from within the game's world of football. Broadcasting real media references, the latest CM news system delivers in a wide variety of ways. The user gets all the information and news that's relevant to their game in order to maximise their potential as a manager.
Dynamic display window[edit]
A dynamically updated display window brings a real world likeness to the user. Managers will be able to look out on the latest league tables, fixtures, top goal scorers and more from their in-game football world. Coverage from every part of the globe will appear throughout the game on every screen.
ProZone[edit]
ProZone continues to evolve to enable users to access highly detailed, post-match analysis on their players. With full stats on their own team and the opposition, the manager has the complete picture of personal and team performances to aid their decisions.
Development[edit]
Originally named Championship Manager 2009, the game was renamed due to a change in release dates. Championship Manager 2010 is the first game in the series to have a 2-year development time. This is due to recent versions in the series not being critically successful for publisher Eidos Interactive, who admitted that the franchise had lost direction in recent years and that the publisher was determined to make the game a 'strong alternative' to Sega's Football Manager.[3] The release date was originally April 2009 but was pushed back to September 11, 2009 to polish the game properly.[4] A Beta version PC Demo was released for players to test and report back problems to the developers in time for the final version release. On 18 August 2009, Eidos Interactive announced fans would be able to buy the game for as little as 1p along with a £2.50 'transaction fee'. This is the first time any video games publisher has done this.[5]

Reception[edit]
Championship Manager 4 Download
Championship Manager 2010 has received more positive reviews than previous versions of the Championship Manager series. Eurogamer gave the game an 8 out of 10 stating 'For the first time, the Championship Manager series is a viable alternative to Football Manager.. CM10's attempts to innovate must be applauded, and the majority of its refinements are either solid additions or real winners.[7]MSN UK also applauded the game and concluded 'Once you get stuck into a season, it is fearsomely addictive, and all aspects of football management are present and correct, if not necessarily developed to Football Manager’s level of sophistication. It is a lot more forgiving than Football Manager.. If that doesn’t bother you, it’s worth considering for the first time in years.'[8]
Mac Championship Game
Now Gamer gave the game a 7.3 out of 10 concluding 'Championship Manager 2010 – particularly with its impressive highlights engine – manages to land a good few solid punches, and gives the Sports Interactive team something to genuinely mull over. For Championship Manager is now in the finest shape it’s been in for half a decade, and there are more solid foundations for next year’s edition to be built on.'[9] UK news site The Guardian gave the game 4 out 5 stars and concluded that 'If you seek a straight-down-the-line football management experience that tests your powers of wheeler-dealing, man-management, tactics and training, then you will find Championship Manager thoroughly satisfying..At last, the beloved old stager has found a hint of its previous form.'[10]
Championship Manager PcSales[edit]
