Beautiful Game Studios has announced that Championship Manager 2010 will be released in September 2009, and will be the first football title available for the 2009/2010 season.
Championship Manager 2010 will feature a new 3D match engine with over 500 individual player animations, a set-piece creator giving users the chance to create their own unique free kicks and corners, Scouting Networks allowing users to set-up local networks in countries around the world and grow local player knowledge, and practice matches helping users select their perfect team or trial new players.
The game will also feature real player data and information for the 2009/2010 football season, enhanced by a new gameplay innovation called CM Season Live, an additional monthly update that lets players download the real-world 09/10 football season data, at that point in time, and then take charge of their chosen club. All of the scores, competition standings, player transfers, player stats, bookings, major injuries from the ten leading countries in Europe can be downloaded directly on a monthly basis throughout the season. CM Season Live starts on October 15 and is available at monthly intervals for 6 months.
“With this game we are genuinely looking to change the face of football management games and raise the bar for consumers through bringing innovative brand new features to the PC football management genre,” said Roy Meredith, General Manager of Championship Manager. “CM Season Live is the most exciting innovation in football management games since they began with the original Championship Manager game. This is the closest fans will get to ‘actually’ managing their team, fighting the relegation or promotional battles, dealing with the big name injuries or transfers as they unfold in the real world, throughout the real season.”
