This is quite honestly the worst Championship Manager game I have ever played. I am an avid Champ fan and have played every version since Champ 2, where Ibrahima Bakayoko was possibly the best player in the game (Unfortunately when he joined Everton in real life he was about as good as this game!).
The game feels comic like and is very unrealistic. I have lost many hours of my life playing Champ :( But I'm not going to waste a moment more playing this version. There is a demo of it, if you're a glutton for punishment at: www.cm5demo.com
Don't buy this game, buy Football Manager 2005, a game created by SI Games, who also created CM1, CM2, CM3 and CM4. Football Manager 2005 is more like CM4, and far more realistic than this awful offerring from Eidos.

So bad i've uninstalled it!!! This game is full of errors and the patch available online does nothing to rectify them.CM5 in my opinion has taken a great leap backwards and the good name of CM has been tarnished. Errors include:-
Defenders scoring own goals consistantly when under no pressure.
Winning games by huge margins....just doesn't happen!!
Teams bid for players and there's no way to accept the offer!!
Numerous other errors with this game also.

Trying to get my money back. Most unsatisfactory. Did anyone really test this game before its release. I have not been tempted to review anything before, but I was so angry having wasted over 20 quid and about 4 hours of my life on a product that boasts a realism that its producers must know has not even been approached never mind achieved: that is so bug-ridden, even after the patch has been installed that it won't allow me to make substitutes at any time: that boasts a huge database and yet has no Player History at all is just an unadulterated con. Steer well clear!

Not great ...
CM5 is very poor indeed - not in the same league (!) as CM2 in our opinion. We have tried all the intervening versions - not bad until this one - but still keep returning to CM2,... Read more
