A few notes about this FINAL version...

Championship Manager 01/02 is still one of the best games on football management.
This guide made me and my site famous. I thank all of you who have read this guide and especially all of you that have informed me of any problems and missing parts of the guide. This version has nothing new. I haven't received any e-mail about it for a month so I decided to stop working at it. The latest version was v1.6b.
Some news now... Graeme Kelly seems to have noticed the mistake and has released a 3.9 version of the editor that seems to work (though I haven't tested it). I won't test it or change this guide for the new editor as I have stopped playing Championship
Manager. I know that some day this guide will be outdated but I think it's quite full.
If anyone still wants to work on this guide, maybe make it compatible with CM3_SGE 3.9 or add some parts he can ask me. If we agree, the guide is his and he has all my permission to release future versions as his, as long as he gives me some credit for my work.

What changed for FINAL Version:

- Removed FAQ History section.
- Changed the parts telling about updates and things like that...

And a last note:

This final version is devoted to every single person that has visited the site.
Thank you people!

******************************************************************************************

Championship Manager 01/02 has been characterized as the most difficult version of the CM 3 series. This guide contains the complete guide on how to cheat.

Let's begin with the programs. You have to download and install the following 2 programs:

******************************************************************************************
CM3 SaveGame Editor:

The latest working version of this editor while this guide was written was CM3 SaveGame Editor 3.9.
This guide is fully compatible with v3.7. Below are the sites from which you can download SaveGame Editor:

Latest Version: www.GraemeKelly.com
Working v3.7: http://www.gamecentar.com/top-score/SGedv37.zip

Graeme Kelly does not answer e-mails about his editor, nor gives any support. Read the editor's and this guide's disclaimer.

If the link above for editor v3.7 is not working e-mail me and I'll try to upload the whole file.
******************************************************************************************

******************************************************************************************
Parcye Wizard:

As I know the Parcye Wizard is discontinued so you can download the 1.0 version at my site: http://LeftosChatPage.tk > Downloads > CM Cheating Guide

So you will say why don't you put a direct download link? So we view your ads and you get money?
The answer is I don't earn money by my ads. The problem is that Yahoo! Geocities have a policy that prohibts direct downloads outside of the site! But there IS a solution! If you have a download manager (I suggest using FlashGet - www.amazesoft.com) you can enter the following information:

Download URL: http://www.geocities.com/yleftos/download/cmparcye.zip
Refferer URL: http://www.geocities.com/yleftos/reviews/cmcheat.txt

This will trick the Geocities server which will believe that you are already surfing my site.
If this doesn't work use the first way.
******************************************************************************************

Now to the guide!

Part I: Starting A New Game


First of all start the game. Start a new game or load one. If you start a new game make all the choices until you get to the news section. (DO NOT SELECT A NATIONAL TEAM! This guide doesn't work with national teams.)


Part II: Let's get some cash!

1. Start Parcye Wizard.
2. Press Next and wait for the loading.
3. Enter your team's name. (e.g. Manchester United)
4. Select your team from the list.

Here is what you can change in this screen:

Longname: Your team's name. (e.g. You can change Manchester United to London United!)

Shortname: Your team's shorter name. (e.g. You can change Man Utd to London Utd!)

Matchday: Your team's match day. (Works only on week-to-week championships (e.g. Greece))

Min Attendance: The minimum number of supporters coming to the stadium.

Avg Attendance: The average supporters coming to the stadium.

Max Attendance: The maximum number of supporters coming to the stadium.

******************************************************************************************
A little handy cheat with attendance settings (by John Mason):
"Setting your minimum attendance equal with your maximum makes your stadium full all the time!"
******************************************************************************************

Cash: The only thing here that you really gonna change. It's not in the currency you use but you can guess a higher value. (If you get an error like: [999999999 is not a valid integer value.] click Previous then change Cash to a lower value and press next again until you get a valid (but high!) value.)

MaxWages: The Max Wages your board allows. Still I haven't found on what currency these values are so you still have to guess a higher value.
MaxWages2: The same as above but for well-respected players I guess.

5. When you are finished click Next and select Yes.
6. Click Exit.

Your settings have been applied directly!

The maximum transfer money allowed and the max wages will change later. The REAL changes will be made after the end of the season. But also smaller changes occur in the meanwhile. Did you know that if you higher your cash the wages will increase automatically too?


Part III: Saving Uncompressed

After giving our team a handful of money we have to save our game in order to complete the rest of the cheating. The game has to be uncompressed as the CM3 SaveGame Editor doesn't support compressed saves. Uncompressed saves mean much faster saving and loading but much more disk space. I've reached February 2006 and my save is only... 178 MB! To make the game save without compress follow the next steps:

1. Go to Game Options > Game Settings.
2. Select Save Compressed > No.
3. Click OK. Now we have to save our game and then exit. Although Parcye Wizard (see Part
II) requires Championship Manager running and our save loaded, CM3 SaveGame Editor will affect the savegame, not the game's memory. SaveGame Editor uses a lot of memory and having Championship Manager and SaveGame Editor open together will cause your computer to crash and may DESTROY your savegame!

1. Go to Game Options > Save Game.
2. Save your game.
3. Go to Game Options > Exit Game.


Part IV: The Real Part of Cheating

Now it's the real part of the guide. You are gonna make your worst players the best players the world has ever seen and the saddest players that want a new contract the happiest players that think their contract couldn't be better.

******************************************************************************************
NOTE: This guide is fully tested with SaveGame Editor 3.7! New versions of the editor may be compatible with this guide but not fully. Do NOT ask me to update the guide. This guide is discontinued since
15/1/2002. Older versions aren't supported too. If you have an older version of this guide do not overwrite it with this one if you have an older version of CM3 SaveGame Editor. Check the Programs section to see where to get the latest version.
******************************************************************************************

1. Start CM3 SaveGame Editor.
2. Click open and find your savegame.
3. Wait as the utility loads your save.

When it loads, on the left you will see a list with just  in it. Below there is a text box with a "Graeme Kelly" in it. On the right side there is a screen with many text boxes and options.

4. Type in the name of one of your team's players.
5. Click search.
6. Select your player.

The right part of your screen changes to the values your player has.

7. Click Squad & Staff List: [Team Name] (a bold letters button on the middle-bottom).
8. Your whole squad (from your reserves to your chairman!) is listed on the left part of the screen.

Now we will cheat! There are many ways to cheat with different effect:

1. Make my team the best (players & staff included!) - Automatic
2. Change my player's contract information - Manual
3. Make my player happy/unhappy - Manual
4. Sabotage a different team - Semi/Automatic
5. Finding good players - Semi/Automatic
6. Buying good players for free - Manual

These are the four main reasons you would use this SaveGame Editor but you can change much more things. You know cheating isn't the only you can use SaveGame Editor for. Just take a look on the main interface and you are going to be amazed!


Cheat Analysis No. 1 - Make my team the best

After you see all your team on the left side, select the button Custom Command Options.
Check the following boxes:

Make all players train willing
Consistency to 20
InjuryProneness = 1
Set Players Morale To 20
Make Players Strong and Pacey
Mental Attributes To 20
All Playing Atributes To 20

Click OK, then click on Custom Command once. Click Save and wait for the editor to save your game. The Exit Without Saving button should change to Exit. Click Exit. When you load your game on Championship Manager 01/02 you will have an all-star team!

Note 1: Except many teams asking to buy your players. It's getting very annoying but after 1 or 2 year rejects... they will stop... almost... anyway!

Note 2: These attributes won't stay the same forever. When you see that your team is not as good as it was, do the above again.


Cheat Analysis No. 2 - Change my player's contract information

Select a player that either his contract is ending or he has a very low minimum fee release clause and select the Contract(CM01/02 Only) tab. Go to Contract Details. Here you can change:

- His weekly wage.
- All the clauses. You can erase/enable any clause without any effect on his happiness.
- The fee of the clause (The currency is pounds, but that will not affect the currency in your game!)
- His start and ending date of his contrract.
- Extend contract by 1 year.
- Terminate contract immediately.
- Transfer Status
- Availability
