![]() Just as CM2 had taken the game to the next level from the original game, CM3 had catapulted it further and CM4 was supposed to be utopia. CM4 was a total rewrite of the game, as was the norm at the end of every “cycle” back then. CM4 was due for launch in late 2002 but was delayed until March 2003 for various reasons. 2001/02 was hugely popular and is still considered the most popular version of the series to this day. The landscape of Championship Manager had changed dramatically in 2003. ![]() I’m sure there’s a reason for that and it can probably be refined further, so worth a fiddle, so to speak. I changed the compatibility mode to Windows XP Service pack 2 and that seemed to make it better. Once installed I actually found it a little slow despite my laptop being fairly beastly and able to run multiple leagues on the new FM with less of a lag. We can however embed innocent tweets that perhaps suggest a place to get it. I don’t think CM03/04 is officially freeware so for legal reasons we can’t post the download link. The second, less legal, option is to download it. That’s literally printing Evandro Roncatto’s at that price. Our own Andrew found it on eBay for a fiver. If you don’t have the CD, you have two options, one more legal than the other. The thing is with these games it’s daft not to have the patches, they fixed some potentially game breaking bugs and if you have the opportunity to play an improved game why wouldn’t you? Anyway, they aren’t huge in size and they run very easily, so Google them (or ask me on Twitter and I’ll share them when I upgrade from the Netto broadband bestowed upon me in my new home). Unlike many of the old games there is relatively little messing about involved, though you do have to have patches 4.1.4 and 4.1.5 installed for the game to run on modern machines. I’m not ashamed to admit I’m a bit of a hoarder so I have the CD. ![]() How does it stack up against it’s more famous compatriots? From Tato’s battlecry to start the week to Ross’ re-writing of history with Leeds, to the classic player profiles we’ve tweeted. Our first week dedicated to one edition of the game has been very enjoyable to read. Yes, you better believe we bought the URL so I will plug it at every opportunity. ![]()
