New Championship Manager

[Sammy Bee]

Just to let you all know that the new cm2001 is out on 27th october. It souns even better with ability to complain about the refs! It only costs £20! which is nice http://gpgrapevine.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif

Is it an upgrade to CM 99/00 or a whole new game? Dont think I even finished a whole season on 99/00!! Prefer the quick, easy to use CM's like 97-98.

[Mad Bee]

It's a whole new game with loads of new features. Quite an interesting one is the addition of Press activity. This now has a bearing on how successful you are as a manager. There are also loads more player stats that you can analyse to see who is performing best in your team (pass completion %, etc.).

I think after this update, CM4 will be in the pipeline, although it will probably not be released until some time next year.

[Sammy Bee]

I don't think it is a whole new game rather an extension to the current as oposed to an update. Due to its price I assume that you will not need the cd to play it!

Just played my first game of the season. 2-1 home win over Wigan. Owusu and Rowlands after going 0-1 down. You bees.

i'm 15th in the league, in December, having bought none and sold none.

Griffin and Bullivant are poached by Villa at the start of the game.... John Griffin is the man http://gpgrapevine.co.uk/ubb/frown.gif

Once we've been playing it a couple of weeks, perhaps a network game is in order!!

I've just gone top after beating Bury 4-1, Owusu hat trick, 10 for the season in 12 games. Played 10, won 7, drawn 1 lost 2. 1 point clear of Reading with 2 games in hand. I've sold quite a few players. Gilham to Blackpool, Pearcey to Swindon, Saroya to Swansea, Theobald to Chesterfield, Partridge to Stevenage, Woodman to Shelbourne, Kennedy to Colcester. Just signed Daniel Amokachi on a free.

I think I've found a bug in the demo version. Owusu 13 goals in 14 games McCammon 6 goals in 9 games. Something is not right.

Our players are talented, they just need a talented manager http://gpgrapevine.co.uk/ubb/biggrin.gif

I must be a talented manager, Ron give me your job while in Spain.
H, just to let you know I'm absolutely pissing the league at the moment. Beat Reading 3-1 who were 2nd at the time next game beat Port Vale 2-0 who had gone 2nd following my win over Reading. Owusu and McCammon have been named players of the month. Charles, Folan, Rowlands, Ivar and Oli all wininng international call ups. Try this line and see how you get on.
Oli
Boxall Ivar Marshall Anderson
Rowlands Javary Scott
Owusu McCammon Foley(Loan from Watford)
Formation 4-3-3
Tatics Attacking, direct, pressing.
I'll give you an update in the morning as to how I get on tonight.

[The H]

i did forget to ask the FA for postponements when my 6 players were on international duty on 2 occassions!!!!!
