However, the main issue with Madeira is that he isn't a real player and was, in fact, created by one of the games scouts, and this is why he deserves the title of a ‘cheat' player.

This 22-year-old striker is available at the start of each save for a small fee and will score you goals at whatever level he plays at. The only player I would actually consider a true ‘cheat' player is Portugal's own, To Madeira. Instead, we should just refer to the majority of them as the players who have excellent potential, are often available cheap, and tend to produce goods as soon as you sign them. Now, not all of the players we're about to talk about can be called ‘cheat' players, in fact, hardly any of them can. There were plenty of other formations in the game that could bring you success, as well as ones you could create yourself, but none really compared to the 4-1-3-2. The set instructions with this tactic are as follows…ĭue to the high amount of red cards you get when playing with these standard settings, many players opted to lower the tackling to ‘normal' and often increased the mentality to ‘attacking' to keep their team on the front foot. Whilst your team might not keep a lot of clean sheets using this very aggressive and attacking tactic, it would score plenty of goals, if you had the right players, and would provide the basis for a very successive save.

The formation in question was 4-1-3-2, which was located at the very bottom of the formations list within the tactics screen. It wasn't long after the release of CM 01/02 that players began to realise just how good one particular formation worked in this installment of the franchise. CM 01/02 sold over 300k copies in the UK alone and I can still remember the excitement of the first day and waiting for the game to install, oh happy days!

New FeaturesĬM 01/02 introduced the EU regulated transfer system for the first time in the series and also included ‘attribute masking' for the very first time (never liked this feature myself). We're going to take a look at the infamous 4-1-3-2 tactic and some of those ‘cheat' players that made us fans fall in love with CM 01/02 in what should be a trip down memory lane for those fans that remember this game with fondness.

Personally, I have fantastic memories of all the Football Manager games since I first started my adventure with CM 97/98 (also still available to play using a DOS emulator), but CM 01/02 takes centre stage. Some may argue that this particular installment of the series was so popular because it was easy to master than any other game in the franchise due to a particular formation and a selection of what are often referred to as ‘cheat' players.
