The 2004/20005 season game in the Championship Manager series, and first since the departure of original CM developer, Sports Interactive. Eidos new internal development team, Beautiful Game Studios, brings its past experience on over 60 previous soccer(football) titles to build off of the successful strategic management simulator in this all-new version. To make the game the most authentic soccer simulation around, the company has hired a specialist agency entirely focused on the creation of player information and statistics, and has completely overhauled the game engine to compute more realistic action in realtime. The team has also focused on the Training system, new Match Tactics choices for handling on-the-field gaming, and Action Zones for detailed looks at who best controls which sections of turf.
