Even today, over 20 years later, the Diablo tactic remains a legend in the Football Manager (successor to CM) community. It represents a golden age of “exploit finding” before patches and auto-updates made such game-breaking tactics rare.

Community mods for "Diablo" often aim to enhance gameplay balance, add new features, or change existing mechanics to offer a fresh experience. Without specific details on Cm 01 and 02, here are some general ways mods might affect tactics:

Many CM01/02 purists consider Diablo a form of cheating. The game becomes trivial. The challenge evaporates. However:
