Championship Manager 2006 beta out now

A beta for Championship Manager 2006 is now available to download, featuring an all new 3D match engine.

Having slipped behind Football Manager in the pecking order of football management sims, the latest game in the series has some ground to make up. As well as a new 3D match engine which allows you to view the game action as you would on the TV, you will be able to implement new scouting options, monitor player performance more closely, build more involved relationships with your players, and also seek financial investment to help fund your club's rise to the top.

Championship Manager 2006 is scheduled for release on the PC in the spring, but for now head over to the game's beta website where you can download the free beta.
