Championship Manager ?s

[FrustratedPoet]

How big is the zip file?

[Maquiladora]

4MB, its best to use a download manager when its so busy, especially on 56k.

I just read that the interface is actually "skinnable" ala winamp, that relieves some of the early disappointment.

[FrustratedPoet]

Very good news. I'm sure there will be alot of very cool skins available a few weeks after release.

That's a clever feature!

I still can't connect to the download, there's just too much traffic. I don't have a 56k modem so when I do finally get through the download should go (relatively) smoothly.

[FrustratedPoet]

bah! I still can't get on ..... haven't even got as far as starting the download yet.

I'm gonna give up on this and try later tonight.

Did you try the direct mirrors in the forums? Heres a link to the thread with all the mirrors.

Thanks, but I'm not registered there.

Maybe now is the time, though.

EDIT: What?!?!? The administrators have to approve every new member. It won't let me access the forums yet. This will take ages (especially with all the traffic today).

EDIT: i've started to download them both now. The screenshots are already 25% through, but the movie is about 40MB so will take a while. Thanks again.

The new 2D match engine.

Less than spectacular I'm sure you'll agree. However, the crucial thing is how it looks running. The video I'm DL'ing is only at 7% though...

From one of the other screens it looks like it is possible to only view the highlights (there's a VIEW 2D HIGHLIGHTS button, anyway).

You can also watch the game in Real Time if you feel like staring at your computer screen for 90 minutes..... some people will, no doubt.

damned, i've reached my DL limit , have to be carefull for the next couple of days, since I only have about 60MB to spend before being thrown to smallband(14.4k)

I did get all the pics though

It does look alot like cm3, but I like the 2D view alot ,
only hope they can get it right.

some off the mirrors still work btw

hope my account is still active

Reminds me of the "Football Manager" I used to play on my Amstrad 15 years ago. I loved that game.

[FrustratedPoet]

I think I had that for the Spectrum .... it kicked ass.

I've seen the video now, it looks much better running than it does in stills.

[Maquiladora]

Yeah i just (finally) completed downloading it, i think ill be watching it most of the time in-game. Looks exactly like the 2D view from Ultimate Soccer Manager on the Amiga to me.

Thought this one was pretty interesting with the new training schedules.
