[edit] New features

This game improved on the original in many ways - by far the most significant change was the use of real player names for the first time. This was the one major feature which the game had lacked in comparison to its rivals. Other key features to be introduced in this game included the following:

  • A list of selected foreign-based players that could be bought
  • Much more in-match commentary
  • Injury time
  • More player awards
  • Eight different background pictures
  • Improved loading times
  • The implementation of the FA Premier League

[edit] Alternate versions

The CM93/94 engine was the basis for Championship Manager Italia. This was a version that simulated the top two divisions of Italian football (Serie A and Serie B). There was also a 1995 seasonal update released for this game.

The Championship Manager '94 - End of Season data disk was a seasonal update disk that updated the game's database to reflect player and club changes for the 1994/95 season.

There was also a little known Norwegian language version called Championship Manager Norge or CM Norge which simulated the Norwegian League.

[edit] Trivia

  • A cracked version of Championship Manager '94 - End of Season Data Disk, which was available on the Amiga and very common, contained 2 fictional players added by the people who released this illegal version of the game. The players were Mark Collis and Ferah Orosco. They were a striker and a defender, respectively, and are regarded as the first ever fictional super-players in the CM series.
