>Search For A Star

Unearthing undiscovered players is a huge part of football, and therefore of Champ Man. The scouting system in CM5 is being tweaked to enable more specific searches to be carried out. So instead of simply trawling Scandinavia, you can set your scout to look for players in a specific position, such as left-back. However, if they do happen to spot an outstanding striker on their travels, they will be sure to inform you.

More general searches can also be instigated, such as for young players or experienced pros coming to the end of their careers. Scouts will also have a professionalism rating, so for instance an unprofessional scout looking for a new keeper could unsettle the current number one by his lack of discretion.
