Championship Manager 2010 Review (PC)
November 17, 2009
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.

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).

It’s that time of year again! The new football season is fast approaching and obviously that means that whether you’re a big football fan or whether you just like to go “shopping” for a few Premiership superstars and pit your wits against other readers here on Zath – yes it’s time to register your free fantasy football league team entry for the Zath Premiership 2009/10 and try to beat the reigning champions; Claire Goulding’s “Toques Tykes”.
As you can see from looking at the end of season results for the Zath Premiership 2008/09, we had quite a lot of entries (the most yet in fact), it made for an exciting season right down to the wire and it was also the first season in which we were able to offer some cash prizes to the winners, but we’re going to be better them this year, keep on reading!

July 26, 2009
Ahead of the forthcoming new Zath Premiership season, I thought it was about time to focus on the results of the 2008/09 season fantasy football competition that we had going on the site.
In the previous 2007/08 season, Andrew Potter’s “Jinxed XI” had lifted the Zath Premiership trophy, however this season they managed to only finish 11th – it’s obviously been a tougher season what with the expanded number of entries this year. Zath Rovers themselves found it somewhat tough going and ended up in 7th place with 1738pts.

Football Manager Live is the massively multiplayer online version of Sports Interactive’s highly successful Football Manager series of games and one that I’ve personally been playing for around six months now.
We recently featured a Football Manager Live voucher code that would save you 5% off the cost of a subscription to test your footballing wits against other real people from all over the world.

We’ve been big fans of the Football Manager (FM) games over the years and when Sports Interactive released their online Football Manager Live (FML) game we had to get signed up and get playing, how I wish they’d be a Football Manager Live voucher code back then!
That was 6 months ago and we’re still paying our monthly subscription and playing our football matches against all sorts of randomly named teams – so it certainly has some staying power for most of us!

I’ve been playing Football Manager Live on a semi-regular basis since the “Shearer Gameworld” went live in early December.
I’ve not yet quite made up my mind as to exactly what I think to it as yet as it’s still in the early stages and with a new Football Manager Live update v1.1 to go live in the coming week – I’m guessing that this will be a more refined version of the game now that Sports Interactive are now going to be distributing and promoting the game through the regular channels – thus far, it’s mainly been been promoted online and you could only get the game by subscribing and downloading the client.

November 25, 2008
On the day of release the first Football Manager 2009 update v9.1.0 was available for the game – how’s that for service from Sports Interactive?
Obviously, some people could view this as being a bugged game being sent out for release too early, but I’m pleased to see that the guys over at Sports Interactive have that much commitment to their franchise that they are always looking to fix bugs and improve it to make Football Manager the best football management game out there.
This year marks the first year that Football Manager will be available through Valve’s Steam system – their digital game distribution download system has been really successful since it was launched with Half Life 2 and it’s now probably the leading platform out there.
