Championship Manager 2010 to include IMScouting

Koku Gamer writes: "Legendary football management game Championship Manager 2010 has joined together with the online scouting resource IMScouting.

The deal was announced in this press release and is yet another sign that Beautiful Game Studios are looking to rival Football Manager 2010, which was just announced."

Meh, This series still holds no appeal. I fail to see how people really generally enjoy it, I've seen people fall sleep whilst playing it! But each to his/hers own tastes.

While I dont care too much for Soccer or these franchises I do like the fact that they are pushing each other, just like Forza and GT. Gamers are the ones that win in the end

Well, I think you mean the genre of sports management in general! =p The guys behind Football Manager (and the old Championship Managers) make Out of the Park Baseball. The 2007 version got 96 on Metacritic for the PC - http://www.metacritic.com/g...

It appeals to a lot of people. But football/soccer management still has the biggest appeal.

Spot on WengYong. Without competition in sub-genres, creativity becomes stagnant. FIFA/PES, Forza/GT, CM/FM, EA/2K and I'm sure it'll soon be UFC/MMA.

It's starting to look really appealing in comparison to FM 2010, which really hasn't revealed much new. Champ Manager is trying new stuff this year. Looks like the two-year break they took could pay off. Just need good marketing.

But I'll still be getting FM2010 to play with my flatmates on LAN.

Definitely not enough into soccer to care about this really, reminds me of head coach which I would never play either.

CM has been nothing but a empty shell since the split compared to FM.
