There is not much difference between Championship Manager: Season 01/02 and the 02/03 edition - there is the updated transfer listings and the new FIFA transfer system - which makes bringing in players throughout the season difficult, as you have to wait for the transfer window to open, and when you have injurys and bans it can be very frustrating. Being basically just an updated version, there is no point in a complete re-review, so you can get the Championship Manager: Season 01/02 review here.
Moving on to what this version offers; the game has over 100,000 players and staff to choose from and bring to your club of choice. Of course, most are not available when you take over your club, but over time you can probably work on getting any player you like. Presuming you do well, of course.
One added bonus in this version is that you can now listen to the music from your Hard Drive whilst you play; a feature which was missing from the previous game.
Also, the loading times have been reduced slightly, but as the only updates throughout the games are at the end and middle of a season, you don't really notice them too much anyway.
| Graphics | Nothing special, but does its job. Missing the 2D engine from Championship Manager 4 on PC. | 7/10 |
|---|---|---|
| Gameplay | It should keep you playing for hours, as it is for many of us the only chance our respective teams will do well! | 10/10 |
| Value | At the time of writing, we did not have a value for money ranking. | 0/10 |
| Lifespan | Hours and hours of play. Well worth the price as football management is very addictive. | 10/10 |
| Audio | Now with the option of listening to your own music on the Hard Drive (presuming you have a good selection of tunes) it's all you will need. | 10/10 |
| Overall | The best Football management game ever. Football (or soccer to our American friends) fans will love this. | 10/10 |
