Championship Manager Online with Facebook Connect

Jadestone August 20th, 2009 @ 16:08

Today we released a new version of Champ Man Online! It’s a very exciting release, as it’s our first live implementation of Facebook Connect in any of our games.

It’s been an interesting development journey, and we’ve learned a lot about using the Facebook API and working with Facebook applications.

So far, the community really seem to like the possibility to connect their CMO accounts with their Facebook accounts. I’m certain this will make the game even more fun, now that it’s easier to share your CMO experience with your friends on Facebook!

What the change means to the users

Here’s the news item posted on the CM-Online site:

Today we will introduce Facebook Connect to CM-Online!

Enhance your CM-Online experience with Facebook Connect!

You can now link your Facebook account with your CM-Online one.

If you do, you can

* See which of your Facebook friends that are playing CM-Online
* Choose teams and play with your friends much easier
* Receive updates on your friends’ progress, and they on yours
* Invite other friends to play through the easy to use Facebook interface
* Get your name and picture in the game for you and your friends to see
* No need to log into CM-Online if you are already logged into Facebook

You will be able to publish the following events to Facebook

* Let others know when you have a new achievement
* Watch matches from CM-Online
* Make pre match comments
* Show off your latest new player
* Let everyone know when you have been appointed the new manager for a team

Browse all our game worlds and teams

Also, we’ve added the quite cool feature of browsing through all the CM-Online game worlds and their teams! And even more interesting; everyone can share it all by posting their teams, world rankings etc to Facebook.  No one will keep their success a secret from now on… ;)

(Of course, there was a number of other smaller improvements and changes to the game.)

New Champ Man Online out!

Today, we released the new version (2.0) of Championship Manager Online!

These are the release notes from the CM-Online team:

  • Achievements – A new way to compete in CM-Online.
  • New graphical style – for faster playing and easier to use.
  • Tournaments – They are now free to play.
  • Premium and regular managers – Now it is available to play the game for free, with certain restrictions.
  • Cup – We have changed the international cups to the correct format.
  • Economy – An overhaul have been made to the economy in order to balance the game.
  • Stadium – Balanced the effects when improving your stadium to make it more worthwhile.
  • Fans interest – Improved the logic to better reflect the fans interest for successful teams.

As a veteran CM-Online Manager, I’m of course pleased to see the new design and maybe most of all; the new achievement system! Now I’ll get a whole bunch of new challenges to take on… :-)

Another highlight is that it’s now possible to play as a Regular or Premium member. Premium members get more and better features, but playing as a Regular is free of charge.

I’m of course biased, but a nice release nevertheless! :-)
