Championship Manager 2010 Review (PC)

I have to be honest, since the parting of the ways between Eidos and Sports Interactive and the formation of the Football Manager series; I’ve not been a great fan of the Championship Manager series. However, due to my inability to wait for the newest batch of football games, I rushed in and bought Championship Manager 2010 for what I wanted to pay for it. And I have to say, I don’t regret it in the slightest.

I really believe that they have got their name back in the game this year with a truly fantastic football management game. Unfortunately, I haven’t played any version of Championship Manager since 2004/2005 so this review can only be based on my impressions of this game and comparisons with rival titles. Forgive me if I comment on features that have been in it for a few years.

Football Manager 2010 Review (PC/Mac)

With another football season underway, a new version of Football Manager is the highlight of the month for me – I racked up a lot of game time with FM 2009, and grabbed a copy of Football Manager 2010 on release day to start all over again with a new club and a very different user interface that took a while to get used to…

The first thing that I noticed immediately was the time it takes to create a new game, or the lack of… Being a long time Football Manager player, I’m quite accustomed to waiting a long time for a new game to setup, so I was very impressed when my game was set up and ready to go in less than 60 seconds after selecting my team (Gateshead if you’re interested; I like a challenge).
