Description of Championship Manager: Season 00/01
Read Full ReviewA Brand Name to Rely On
The Championship Manager series is one of the best-selling PC brands in the U.K., and probably in most of the soccer-playing world. This of course excludes the United States, where the game has never been published. And that's a shame, because American gamers who don't find a way to import this one don't get to see what the world's most detailed sports management game is all about. On paper, Championship Manager 's lack of in-match graphic highlights should relegate it to the world of soccer has-beens, yet despite being a text-only game it offers a level of depth and immersion unsurpassed elsewhere.
Back in the days of Championship Manager 2, the UK version of the game came with separate add-on European league packs. Now, in Championship Manager 00/01, you get no fewer than 26 leagues from around the world, all playable either singularly or concurrently for what amounts to a massive simulation of world football featuring some 50,000 real life players. The latest league additions are Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales, Turkey, Greece, Russia, Poland, Croatia, Finland, and Australia, with the data for all these circuits being bang up to date for the start of the 2000/01 season.
While most gamers will jump into the game to manage their favourite team, this mammoth virtual soccer world will (if you have the CPU power to run all the leagues simultaneously) let you play out an entire management career, applying for jobs with any team in the game. As time passes, you build a reputation that will enable you to command respect and maybe land that plum role with Man Utd, Lazio, or Barca. Of course, you can also just start off in charge of one of those illustrious teams, but working your way up from the lower leagues is a real challenge, made all the more enjoyable as the virtual soccer world changes around you as players retire and teams gain promotion and relegation.
One of the new features is the option to play the game with fictitious player names. Given the fact that a good number of fans have discarded their lives and loved ones to assemble the game database, this may seem an unthinkable option. Yet one of the dilemmas you face in playing CM is that because the players are real, and represented by at least 30 stats and attributes, you pick teams based on your perception of real players, rather than their CM counterparts. This can be a problem if you don't take the time to analyse all the player stats (though because time stands still when playing the game, this is less likely to be an issue as your game proceeds). By playing with 'random' players, you have to learn their strengths and weaknesses, including a dozen or more hidden attributes, and you're not coloured by your preconceptions.
Being a glutton for punishment, I invariably play CM as Plymouth Argyle, the team I've followed since primary school. Not for me the dizzy heights of Man Utd. This of course makes the game a real challenge. If you play as Man Utd you get a bank balance of £40M, all of which is available to spend on players. Start it as Plymouth and you'll get maybe £100K, of which less than £10K can be used on new players. Given that free transfer players want a suitcase full of cash to sign for you, your options are limited (though I found the Scandinavian leagues a good source of quality, cheap players). This problem is compounded by the fact that if you sell a player for, say, £250K, you don't get a similar rise in your transfer fund. You have to have a certain reserve (a few hundred thousand) before you can spend what you bring in freely. Bloody useless chairmen. Likewise, a good cup run can bring in money, but you won't always be able to spend it (I got £180K from one home FA Cup game against Arsenal).
Skimming off the Water
Having the board shackle your actions is frustrating, yet unerringly realistic. Another new feature of CM 00/01 is the increased richness of the dialogue coming from your coaching staff, the press, and the players. You might be prompted to comment on speculation that one of your players is about to sign for another club, or to criticism of one of your players' recent performances. Coaching staff will report on players' hidden stats when searching for prospective signings---e.g. 'Fred Smith takes a very good penalty'---but while you'll recognize some of the old CM 99/00 dialogue, the text certainly adds to the immersive appeal of the game. The text has been expanded in the match dialogues too, so you'll now see passes 'skimming off the water' on wet days.
The other new features are also relatively minor, yet each enhances the game atmosphere or playability, and can't be considered a mere token addition. The live league table available during games lets you check where you'd be if the scores in all the games remained as they currently are. This is handy if you want to work out whether you should play for a draw in that crucial end-of-season run-in match. Additional stats in the player records now report on pass completion ratios, tackles and dribbles per game, and the ratio of shots on target, so you can use these season-long stats when selecting your team.
The appeal of the CM series lies in its ethos of presenting you with as much information as possible. It's up to you to make what you will of that data in picking your team, choosing tactics, and buying new players. With every stat from every game from (with default settings) the last two seasons available at the click of a mouse, there's a seemingly infinite volume of numbers, stats, and records to wade through, all the more if you play with all 26 leagues turned on (I generally only play the English and Italian leagues). The problem with all this information is making sense of it. With so many variables, it's nearly impossible to deduce what combination of players, tactics, or phases of the moon caused a certain event to unfold. You can spend days on end trying to read meaning into it all, and the beauty of the game is that it seems to respond (or at least taunt you) at whatever level you choose to play.
Thus, the only real criticism I have of CM 00/01 is that it presents so much information that it's inevitable that you'll be overloaded. It's easy to blur the line between realism and detail; lots of detail doesn't necessarily make for high realism, but, as CM proves, it makes for one heck of an addictive experience. At least now the player stats are absolute rather than relative (in CM 2 days a 20 tackling skill for a division 3 player was not the same as a 20 for a Premier player), so you can compare players like for like, with the proviso that their hidden skills are always something of a mystery. The fact that any player, team or result can be clicked on for more details just propagates the illusion of limitless depth. It's not far off being true, of course. Thankfully the DVD-style game case contains the best manual of the CM series to date, with 70 pages of useful info including the meaning of all the player stats, including those hidden ones. This season's official strategy guide looks a lot thinner!
I must also comment on the 'job hunting' aspect of the game. As usual, I got sacked from Plymouth, most recently about three or four games from the end of the season. I'd had a poor run, but brought in some good future players. The chairman wanted quick results, however, and while I was well clear of the dreaded Conference drop slot, with some money in the bank, I got a couple of votes of confidence, followed shortly thereafter by the boot. I then played through the game as a spectator for an hour and a half trying to get a new job, to no avail. That's kind of understandable, but the bad part was that I never got any feedback from my job applications. In the end I resigned from the game and added myself back in as a new manager (to the same running game) in October of the next season. It would be fun if the game more readily allowed you a second chance on the same career; I couldn't even get a job with the team standing 18th in the Conference.
I didn't experience any bugs of note while playing the game; the only oddity I observed was with transfer valuations. On some occassions a negotiated fee would be replaced by the original fee in the news screen, but the figure ultimately used was the right one. Otherwise the game played flawlessly. The overall level of 'realism' in the scores and ratings also seemed to be as good as they've ever been in the past CM games.
CM 00/01 comes with a game editor that you can use to update your favourite team rosters, to create some 'fantasy' teams to play with, or to give yourself a foot-up with some extra cash in the bank for the season ahead. The editor is a separate program, but is very easy to use. It also gives you an insight into players' hidden stats, as well as some of the more esoteric properties that are recorded, including a player's favourite and most disliked teams and his favourite manager, and a club's most favoured and disliked staff (which is useful, for example, to stop Exeter's manager taking over at Plymouth!). Chances are there will be many downloads available off the Internet before long, but having the power to edit the database yourself is always going to be handy.
Hard to Rate
Rating CM 00/01 is a hard task. It's as immersive as ever, and the most feature-rich of any of the CM games to date. The text-based match action, with optional stereo crowd chants from home and away fans, is in essence the same as it was in the first CM, yet just as nail-bitingly brilliant as ever. The myriad of game, team, and player screens encourage you to take tours through the cavernous underlying game database. While it's nowhere near a quantum leap from its predecessor, CM 00/01 is the best soccer management game you can buy, provided you don't have a prerequisite for graphical match highlights. And it's not made in Sweden.

Could you please make this run like the CM97 - in a dos version? I would LOVE that - and you for doing this. Still playing the 97-version, but miss the gameplay of the 00/01 version. Please!?

Eli2020-05-130 point Windows version
I get this error too - v3.81 index..cpp 5299
I noticed it happens only when I try to restore a game that is not recent (I tried to restore saved game from a different computer.... a couple of years old). Looks like there is some kind of database mix up. I have no problems starting a new game. When I start a new game, saving and restoring works just fine.
Hope that helps.

I've followed everything in the youtube video shared by LEO 37 above. Whenever I try to start a game or a quick game even, I keep getting the following message: There is not enough available system memory to create a game.
I have 700++ GB of disk space and 512 MB of RAM.
Any suggestions?
Eix2020-03-15-1 point Windows version
1) download the game
2) You will get 2 MDF files named CM0001rel
3) If zipped file will not open..use 7zip..it works
4) Use daemon tools lite to mount mdf and install game, after install UNMOUNT mdf file
5) Use update file (you can find it in here, scroll up and down for a bit) and update it to 3.89
6) Start a game (if it doesnt work under win10, turn it to win7 xp3 under compability mode)
7) start a game and when its asks CD...just mount CM0001rel back and wholaa..all is working. not so hard..isnt it?

Hi, having problems with the no-cd issue, relax, just track down the '3.81nocdpatchUK' on gamescopyworld.com, then after installation, move the 'AFP' files to the main installation directory on your program files, double click on the crack file and make sure you paste it in to the main directory NOT the on the EXE file/icon, it´s stupid I know, the crack generator wants you to extract it on the damn EXE file, which wrong

Hey, where can I find the NoCd file, or is it a trick to it?

GronaldoXV2019-02-241 point Mac version
High, its works fine with sheepshaver, but just prior to launch a new game, the programm requests to insert the CD... :( what is the trick ?
Glenn Hoddle2018-07-270 point
This simulation had only been bettered by its sequel, Championship Manager 01/02. With its live league table, added leagues (in the update patch) and attribute masking option, it remains the best management simulation available to this day, incorporating the best balance between realism and fun. Me & Johan Cruyff still play CM01/02 to this day, although I always refuse to sign Paul Gascoigne, even if Mystic Meg advises me otherwise.

Championship Manager 01 02 Free Download
Football Manager 2016, the latest version of the legendary football management game that began life as Championship Manager back in 1992,
For the ‘Champ Man’ generation the new releases probably won’t mean much. In bygone days you could get away with saying stuff like ‘I’ll just play out the remainder of the season’ when it’s already 3am.Not anymore. We’ve got relationships, we’ve got kids to look after, and we’ve got jobs to keep.
Nowadays Football Manager takes up roughly the same amount of time as managing an actual real life football club, perhaps more. We just don’t have the time, and consequently, most of us have retired from the game.
Remember when you could finish an entire season in one evening? The likes of Alfonso Perez and Ibrahim Bakayoko killing it in CM97/98, or Cherno Samba winning titles almost single-handedly in CM01/02?
OK, well it was a long time ago, to be fair.To help jog your memory, I’ve put together a legends XI from that wonderful 01/02 version.For purely research purposes, of course, I picked Man Utd as my team for ease of signing players.
Formation & TacticsTactics
Has to be 4-1-3-2. A formation suitable for any club and any division you happen to find yourself in. The perfect blend between attack and defense. Under team instructions I set the mentality to ‘Attacking’, the passing to ‘Short’, and the pressing to ‘No’. You couldn’t press the opposition in this version without your entire side getting too knackered to see out the season.
Goalkeeper – Sebastian Frey
It was between Sebastien Frey and Dionisis Chiotis for the number one spot. Both great keepers but, as the Greek had a tendency to get sent off two or three times a season, I’ve opted for the more dependable Frenchman.
Right back – Mike Duff
No-brainer. Sign Micky Duff from Cheltenham for about 22k at the start of the game, and trust me, right back is sorted for the next 10 years. He gets up and down the pitch all day, rarely makes a mistake, and chips in with his fair share of goals and assists. As reliable as it gets.
Left back – Julio Arca
The choice came down to Arca, Grigoris Georgatos and Stelios Venetidis. All three were your archetypical modern attacking full-back. So you could say they were way ahead of their time seeing as this game is 14 years old! Georgatis was absolute quality going forward, but slightly suspect defensively and at 28 years old a bit of a stop-gap solution. Arca was the more difficult player to sign but he just edges out Venetidis for all-round quality. If Duff was a bit Gary Neville, Arca was more your Patrice Evra. Loved bombing forward and had a delightful left peg on him.
Centre back (left) – Tieme Klompe
n Champ it was imperative to have a left or either footed player as your left centre back. I doubt there is any empirical evidence to back this up – but it just felt right. I’d rather have started with 10 men than have a ‘Right Only’ footed player as left centre back.Tommy Jonsson was a great budget option from Halmstad who you could always rely on at the lower levels.
He was a little bit slow for a defender, though, so if you’re looking for a more premium option it has to be one of Kevin Hofland or Tieme Klompe. Hofland was a classy ball-playing centre-back who starts off CM life at PSV, whereas Klompe, who starts the game at Heerenveen, was more your John Terry-brick-wall-type of defender. It’s a razor-thin decision, but historically Tieme Klompe performed slightly better for me. He also has one of the coolest names ever, so that seals it.
Centre back (right) – Isaak Okoronkwo
An either-footed defender (Right/Left/Centre) with Isaak’s quality is a manager’s dream. He’d seamlessly slot in to any position in the back four and perform week-in, week-out. Ideally you’d want to play him at centre back, with his Franco Baresi-esque ability to read the game and command the defence.Available for relatively cheap from Shaktar, the only issue was you wouldn’t always get a work permit at the first time of trying. Once you’d managed to sort out the paperwork, though, you’d guaranteed yourself top-level defender. His defensive stats were world-class.
Defensive midfield (Centre) – Ibrahim Said
Another no-contest selection for the all important Defensive Midfielder slot. In the 4-1-3-2, the Defensive Midfielder (Centre)’s were never that comfortable as the DM. Even the stand-out players such as Roy Keane, Patrick Vieira or Steven Gerrard would struggle to deliver good numbers
Ibrahim Said, who was a Sweeper/Defender/Defensive Midfielder (Centre) in the game, and either footed, never had such problems. It was just the perfect role for the Egyptian who protected the defense but also controlled the tempo of the match. He was a whingy sort of player, truth be told, but he was that brilliant you’d be willing to put up with it. A bonafide legend.
Centre Midfield (Right) – Kennedy Bakircioglu
Kennedy could play anywhere across the front five attacking positions but he was most comfortable to the right of the midfield three. There are more talented right midfielders in the game but for about £200k from Hammerby at the start of the game, you can’t go wrong.
Centre Midfield (left) – Abgar Barsom
Championship Manager 01/02 Wonderkids
Another Swedish maestro, Barsom is just as effective on either side of midfield. He’ll slot in on the left hand side of the legends team as his compatriot Bakircioglu is more effective on opposite flank.
Possibly the most consistent performer in the game, he was an assist machine who delivered at any level.Barsom starts Champ life at the famous Swedish team Djurgarden (Djurgarden, if anyone’s interested, is an island in central Stockholm), who were a treasure trove of bargains for CM managers scouting for talent. I picked Barsom up for £250k this time around, partly because I was Man Utd (and therefore loaded) and couldn’t be bothered to fiddle with the slider. For those willing to spend an extra few seconds selecting a custom amount you can get him for £20k to £30k.
Championship Manager 01/02 Not Enough Memory
Centre Midfield (centre) – Tonton Zola Moukoko
This crucial central midfield berth was the toughest choice. It came down to Tonton Zola Moukoko, Mark Kerr or regen Gazza.
Regen Gazza is easily identifiable in each game. He’d always be English (obviously), a Midfielder (Centre) either footed, and have insane attacking stats. Due to him not actually being Gazza though, It just didn’t seem right to let him in the team.
So it came down to Kerr or Moukoko. Kerr the combative midfielder that would provide solidity to the midfield, or Tonton the more attacking player who would provide flair, skill and goals. Tough decision.As it’s a coin-flip, this one has to be decided by the name. Is there a better CM name than Tonton Zola Moukoko? Unlikely. You’re in the team, son.
Championship Manager 01/02 Download
Striker (Centre) – To Madeira
Championship Manager 0102 Full
Available for about 8 grand from Portuguese minnows Gouveia at the start of the game, To Madeira could be signed by pretty much any team. He’d take a few years to develop but it was definitely worth the wait. Madeira had blistering pace, great technique, unwavering determination and was a world-class finisher. Goal machine.
Striker (Centre) – Cherno Samba
The inspiration behind this blog post, Cherno Samba is probably the biggest Championship Manager legend of them all. Starting the game as a rookie 15-year-old at Millwall, he’d be ready for top-level action inside of a year. He was like a turbo-charged To Madeira with everything you’d want in a modern-day striker; pace, power, skill, heading ability, finishing, strength. He had the lot.
How did the legends team perform?
For old times’ sake, I managed the team for a season. I took charge for the 2006/2007 campaign (after being on holiday to begin with to give the players time to develop). As always, the legends delivered.
