This great old series is still going strong, and I've been playing it since the early days of Championship Manager 2.

Yeah, I thought about that too. I guess a lot of it is just updating, and since the developers have made quite an excellent editor too, fans can in fact update the game indefinitely - proved they can be bothered to update the status of +20.000 players.

But new stuff is added too, such as the 3D engine's efficiency (which is so terrible in FM2010 that the game crashes every ten minutes with the 3D rendering activated).

football manager is one of those games I never saw the fun in.

hehe.

The makers of this game must not be having a lot of fun in their lives.

I think I'd have more fun with Excel.
