Has anyone bought and played this yet on the 360? ive been a massive fan of champ manager / football manager on the pc for decades now - but champ manager for the xbox was shit - can a diehard fan give me a quick reveiew if everyone has played it yet?
would we great to play on xbox with wireless pad while the wife was asleep - but cant be arsed to spend £50 if its a watered down peice of poo like the xbox 2005 one was
cheers in advance
Championship Manager is not the same as the old Championship Manager, it is infact a shit re-hash and one of the worst games i've ever played.
Wait a few weeks and get Football Manager 2006 on the Xbox360 or you can grab it on the PC now.
Hey peezy
yeah i know mate - i didnt think football manager 2006 (already got on pc - excellent game) was coming out on the xb360?
championship manager now since they lost si as the developer is almost absolute shit - and about 10% as good as the excellent football manager games
youve made my day - ill happilly wait for fm2006!!
no need to wait - its out now! get in!
right then - has anyone played it on the 360 and can give me a quick review? hows the setup with a pad rather than a mouse etc? are the loading times shit (shouldnt be - it apparently uses the 360 hdd to stream from rather than disc)?
cheers
They didn't lose SI as developers.Quote:

Football Manager is now the original game, improved, with a new name.
Championship Manager is now a complete pile of crap, as you know.
This might seem like I'm being picky, but I just wanted people reading your post to understand that the people who were behind the best football management sim are still behind the best football management sim, only it has a new name.
well said and couldnt agree with you more
i would hope that followers of the series will respect this and keep buying the FOOTBALL MANAGER games rather than the CHAMPIONSHIP MANAGER ones.
i think this was reflected in the last 2 releases though - football manager outsold champ manager by 3-1. it proves you can lose the licensed name - but what made the game fantastic is still with the original developers and the engine and football manager carries on the best game in the world!
and i didnt think you were picky - my previous posts were badly worded!!
