Reception

The game received generally positive reviews upon release. The game received an aggregate score of 87% from GameRankings based on 13 reviews. [2]

Gamer.tv stated "Championship Manager is, just like real football, endlessly frustrating... But, just like real football, can also be really, truly, utterly fantastic. Electrifying. A hoot". [4] Eurogamer noted "it’s one of the most insanely alluring gameplay experiences ever". [3] While TotalGames.net commented "There is one enhancement - the joypad rumbles when a goal is scored. Woopee-freakin-do. And they've also included the new FIFA transfer regulations, so you now only get specific transfer windows. But it's hardly an enhancement that really improves your experience... Still a great game". [4]
