Once upon a time there was a game called Championship Manager. It was good. Eventually,
Sports
Interactive, who made the game, partnered up
with Eidos, who published the game. Then the contract ended and, for reasons that continue to baffle, Eidos ended up
with the rights to the Championship Manager name. Sports Interactive continued to develop Championship Manager, which
is now called Football Manager, or Worldwide Soccer Manager, depending on where you live, and Eidos now release a game
called Championship Manager. Still with us? Good.
Sports Interactive are the undisputed kings of soccer management. Nobody can seemingly take their crown. EA have tried
and failed. Eidos have now attempted the task, with their first non-SI usage of the Championship Manager name, and it
sounds like SI have nothing to fear from their former paymasters. Another pretender to the crown falls short. Next!
