Eidos announces that Championship Manager 5 will be released on Xbox and PlayStation 2 on 13th May 2005. Championship Manager 5 heralds the world’s No1 selling football management series’ debut on PlayStation 2.

Do you think you could make the most of Abramovich’s millions? Have you ever dreamt of taking your non-league team to European glory? Championship Manager 5 puts you in the hot seat as you try to guide your club to glory dealing with everything from transfers and tactics to scouting and the media.

Championship Manager 5 features 25 playable national leagues with 59 divisions and a massive database of footballers from around the world. With accurate data for the 2004/2005 season, a 2D match view enabling you to make tactical decisions as the action unfolds, a detailed choice of tactics, a comprehensive scouting system, a clear user-interface and minimal loading times, Championship Manager 5 will bring you even closer to the touchline.

To further ensure that Championship Manager 5 delivers the ultimate in realism and accuracy, Charlton Athletic’s 1st Team Coach Mervyn Day has been recruited to act as consultant on the game. Day, one of the most respected coaches in football and holder of a UEFA Pro-License, has developed a new user-friendly training mode, devising routines and drills as used by top professionals. Day’s insider knowledge has also given access to the thought processes of real-life managers and coaches, both in the day-to-day management of the club and players, as well as in match situations.

E3 is may 17th-20th, its not a problem because; 1. Most large magazines will be able to review it a few weeks early with the magazine not being released until late may, and 2. only a handful of journalists from each mag will go to E3.

TROD.

I now mags and websites who send just about their full staff :p

Of course they will get their reviews done, but most of the time the review will be drowned in the overflow of E3 reports :S

well i know mags and websites that only send a handful of reviewers :D :D

but i agree, any lenghty reviews will be cut to make way for heaps of info about E3, also i think we can probably come up with a mathematical ratio showing 'amount of info about XBOX 360 to amount of coverage on CM5' lol

you know what i mean

TROD.

You mean something like:

x divided by y approaches 0

where x = "amount of coverage on CM5" and y = "amount of info about XBoX 360"

Yeah, I know, and I'm betting Eidos do as well.
