Playing as a lower league side though really does force you to be creative in what you do, especially when it comes to signing new players. When you are playing as a big club this is easier to do as you have more income. You also have to make sure your club is not overspending. The tactics aspect of the game is very in-depth and something I really did enjoy tinkering with.Īs well as keeping things going in the right direction on the pitch. These can range from signing to selling players, conducting the right training, and knowing when to palm of responsibilities to your assistants. I liked this aspect of the game and it felt a bit more relaxed than when you are in charge of the day to day dealings of a club side.Īt its core, I would say that Championship Manager 2008 is a game that is all about making important decisions. I grew up in Scotland so I have not exactly had it good when it comes to international football, hell Scotland have not qualified for a tournament in over 20 years and they have never even gotten out of the group stages when they have. One of the newer features that was added to Championship Manager 2008 which is really cool was being able to take control of an international team. Many others, like to start with a more modest team and see if they can build them up to something special. I like to jump in with a Premier League side and take it from there, which is what I did here starting with Spurs and having one hell of a run. You need to have success on the pitch, but you also need to keep an eye on the financial side of things too. The thing with games like this is that the goal is always the same.
