Championship manager 2 (1995) top tips

Championship Manager was my favourite game back in the day and here are some top tips for anyone wishing to play it now (you can download it here).

  • Use 1-4-5 formation, sounds crazy but it works, try it
  • Paul Warhurst can play defence, midfield or attack right, left or centre - versatile or what!
  • Jason Kaminsky (Nottingahm Forest), if you put him in the team and play him for a couple of seasons has the potential to be awesome
  • Noel Whelan and Jamie Forrester work very well together
  • Colin Cooper always ends up playing for England…

    Now I am not a fan of Microsoft at all, however Microsoft Photo Editor has one really useful function that I have yet to find in another program.

    Basically it allows you to select a colour (or colours within a set tolerance) to be made transparent within an image. This is really useful and a really quick way of getting rid of a solid background colour. Of course this is not very useful when you have a background colour that is of varied colours - but never the less useful all the same.

    To do this, select the transparent colour picker:

    Click on the transparent colour picker tool

    Select the tolerance:

    Select the tolerence

    And what do you know, the area you selected (or at least the area you selected within the tolerance) is now transparent.

    Tadaaa - transparent!

    Can this be done in Photoshop? If so I’d love to know how!!
