Championship Manager: Season 01/02 2001

Is it still worth playing?

You take charge of any club in one of around 100 leagues across 27 countries, with responsibility for tactics and signings. It is a football management simulation released for Windows in October 2001, for Mac in November 2001 and on Xbox in April 2002. It uses the European Union regulated transfer system introduced in September 2001. An attribute masking mode shows only information about footballers the manager would realistically know about, which works as a fog of war. Players can be sent away for surgery, and there are player notes, player comparisons and media and board interaction. It was released as freeware in 2008 and is still regularly updated. Taking charge of a club in any of those leagues is something a patient fan can still settle into.
