I used to love Championship Manager back in the early 2000s (2001/02 is probably my most played game ever!), but Football Manager series is just too much work for my liking, I used to like choosing a single formation, signing your players and then rushing through seasons in a day, winning everything along the way!

I occasionally try to get into Football Manager, but it just seems too complicated and time intensive, you actually need to take the oppositions tactics into account for God's sake! Or maybe I just don't enjoy computer games anymore... I never play anything else either

I love the depth. I used to play football manager online but they updated the game a year later and everyone got annoyed and they closed it down after but was a shame as it was a little more "casual" than the normal game.

I've played online a few times with my mate and brother but it's just the same. Or was there a free to play one?

In theory I should love the depth as it exactly the sort of thing I normally really love, but I just can't get into Football Manager, its a shame as I used to love Champ Man

No, they had a seperate game called FM live. It was ?5 a month sub based. Google it. It should come up. Quite a few players on it like me were playing FM for 15 odd years

May give it a look sometime!

Dude you been I'll for ages.

Over a week and counting.... Really pissing me off... Its not bad now but I want it gone so I can smoke without worry.

Haha yeah it's very in depth good though! Take over your life though!

I once calculated (conservatively) that I have 2k+ hours in total in the champ/football manager games.

The only thing that scares me more than calculating the amount I've spent on cigars is calculating the number of hour I've spent on the various Champ Man games

Oh dear. Always such a depressing stat haha

Lol too true. That's why I never think about it

Even worse is that some of those hours were spend building Leek Town up to the premier league.

Did you used to Ctrl-Alt-Del if you were losing an important match until you won it?

If it's what I had, it lingers
