Where do I start? This game has cost me 2 days of the last 7, with its addictiveness, which is, incredibly, higher than previous versions of championship manager, such as 01/02, which i played to death. A new design came with cm4, but i never really took to that, i needed more persuading away from the CM3 format. well this game has gone and done it. Its' manager-player relationships, realism, and sheer playability make me lose hours of each day playing, when university work would probably be a far more sensible option. but this doesnt often happen, and before long 3am arrives, with me sitting somewhere near the top of the league following my acqusition of many scouted players, who were often poached with the help of dodgy contracts, all of which i am informed. you may think it sad, but to any football lover, like myself, this game truly brings me joy!
