I'm gonna freak out soon!
People please don't be so blind, you can't be fooled by the name!
It's been said millions of times already but here goes: SI are the creators of CM and over the years EIDOS have published the series. Last year the companies parted ways wich meant that EIDOS have the right to the name "Chamionship Manager" and the look and "feel" of the series. But that's it! SI (one more time, THE MAKERS OF CM) still have their beloved database. EIDOS have to start from scratch and create a whole new game that has nothing to do with previous CM games. SI shortly after the split found new publishers in SEGA and will this year continue to release the best manager game around but under the name "Football Manager 2005".

I hope that this clear things up a bit?

I don't understand how some people can say that things like "I looked at FM2005 but I think I'll stick with CM"!? There is almost no info out about CM5 yet, and the "feed" option in tactics is just stupid. I mean are you gonna tell Deco where to pass the ball!? Must be enormous variety in gameplay...not!

No continue to support SI who gave you all the great CM titles all these years and don't be fooled by the name, it's a shame they lost it, it's their biggest rival this year.
Thankfully quality will win in the long run...

Phew...That's all folks, sorry if I misspelled a few things, I'm swedish... ;)

FM & PES Forever!

yeh thanx i had a look at that, 've played the beta demo but i still prefer champ manager 5 he he he :)
Man...you seriously suck, there's no comparison, Football Manager is totally better. If you prefer the new brand CM then you're just buying a label, you can't actually be interested in the gameplay side of things.

Dude!! what the hell r u on mate?? The mates are trying to clear things out for u that the CM5 you are waiting for IS NOT USUAL CM U LIKE! please stop acting stubborn and make some sense.... Football Manager 2005 IS the NEW Champ Manager mate, while Champ Manager 5 is NOT Champ Manager, simply because it is not the same company "SI" that has MADE ALL the previous CMs mate. So, "SI" are continuing the CM series BUT ONLY changing the TITLE from Champ Man to Football Manager. Which means, CM5 is NOT the continuation of the CM series, it IS is totally DIFFERENT game. Now.... if you're STILL going to get it, then i have no idea what to tell you but you would make no sense, because you're buying it for it being a "CM", but THINK of what were trying to tell you... it has NOTHING to do with all the previous CMs mate. Thank you. Now, go get FM 2005! or wait for it :p

ok i didnt know about eidos spiliting up and the names changes, my mate dark jak has explained to me beacuse he just worked it out a few minutes ago to. soz about not understanding :)

It was explained enough times in here, well people tried to ;)

For anyone still not understanding:

Sigames created the Champ Manager series. Eidos simply published the game, thats all.

After the last game Sigames and Eidos split from each other.

Eidos get to keep the Championship Manager name and also the look. Nothing more. The new Champ Manager 2005 game will have a brand new database and engine from some other company Eidos have bought in.

Sigames are creating Football Mananger 05. It has the previous Championship Manager engine and database (obviously even more updated), but has to look different and have a new name, hence FM05. Because sigames created the Champ Manager series, the massive database and game engine, many people think FM05 will be the best manager game out of the 2.

Jeez cm5 is gonna make so much money cos people think that’s the real champ man, as I said earlier the new cm5 is like FIFA behind a PES cover

I beg your pardon?
That's exactly why they've kept the name. They are relying on ignorance, and the fact that people will just buy the name without thinking.

The amount of people who lack intelligence in this thread, is fucking incredible.

For the last time:

Football Manager 2005= By makers of all Championship Managers before 5, with more than a decade of experience. The Pro Evolution equivalent to managing games.

Championship Manager 5 = A completely new game, made by some newbies. The Fifa equivalent to managing games, but with no experience on their belt.


jMz go here!

have you been reading what's been said? the formely known as "Championship Manager" is now called "Football Manager"! It is the same game with a different name. The game which is now called Championship Manager 5 is a totally different game, and it has nothing to do with the old series!!
