Bought it half-an-hour ago. Will have to wait till tomoro before I look. Also got a free CM Quiz game as I pre-ordered, which may form a drinking game at some point I suppose. BUt I’m worried about you. You say Livingston are top, yet claim realism?

Ps - Is it as the trailers imply. You get to watch the game from above? Or is that just the goals?

It’s realistic in that RFC are in huge debt. Unlike previous versions players who signed for clubs since the start of the season in real life are there at the start of the season in CM4, meaning that we already have Boniesell and Eggen and Thompson.

You can watch the entire game from above if you want or just the goals or the extended highlights or the key highlights. Either during or after the match.

Very tricky though, not winning every game.
About to start new game, possibly with Airdrie United.

I’m rather of the opinion that the more realistic a game gets, the less fun it gets, to a great extent. Taking control of a club which won’t be out of debt for 20 years isn’t fun.

Also, I always thought that the major drawback of Champ Manager so far is that you have no direct communication with your players. I think you should. I think you should get the chance to meet with them, and have ‘dialogues’ with them, which would affect how well they played.

All this fiddling with training, and looking at stats is all very well, but I just don’t enjoy it enough. I’m not trying to be critical, just merely explaining why I won’t get it.

my favourite part of it yet…
one of the background pictures (that looks like it is outside Goodison Park?) that has been cropped so that the sign on the stand proclaims “0 YEARS OF TOP FLIGHT FOOTBALL”
