New features

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

Alternative 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 a 1995 seasonal update released for this game. There was also a little-known Norwegian-language version called Championship Manager Norge or CM Norge which simulated the Norwegian League. The 1993/94 Season Data Up-Date Disk was a seasonal update disk that updated the game's database to reflect player and club changes for the 1993/94 season. The End of 1994 Season Data Up-Date Disk was an end of season update disk that updated the game's database to reflect player and club changes for the end of 1993/94 season. The Championship Manager '94 - End of Season Data Disk, which was available on the Amiga, contained two fictional players added by developers of the game, Mark Collis and Ferah Orosco. They were a striker and a defender, respectively, for Cambridge United in Division 3 and are regarded as the first ever fictional super-players in the CM series.^[2]
