Championship Manager 2010 expands the established football management simulation series. Players manage a football club, directly influencing team performance and strategy. Managers observe their tactical and formation choices in a custom 3D match engine, which displays over 500 custom animations per player across various pitch views. Beyond match days, players create comprehensive scouting networks worldwide, investing capital to develop local knowledge and secure an edge in the transfer market.
The custom 3D match engine directly visualizes tactical implementation. Managers design specific set-piece routines for free kicks and corners, practicing these maneuvers on the 3D training pitch prior to match days. Player preparation is a hands-on process, with managers guiding training drills and practice matches; controlling both sides in these sessions aids in selecting the optimal starting eleven. New mail and media suites, enhanced tactical options, additional leagues, and a vastly increased player database contribute to a comprehensive management simulation. This title delivers extensive control over team strategy, preparation, and market activity.
