Seven years after the first Player Manager game was released on Commodore Amiga by Dino Dini & Steve Screech it comes the first game for the Playstation console of the Player Manager saga, the most important difference between the Playstation one and the classic Amiga one is that in the Playstation game you can't control the player in the pitch, this is only a management game.

This is the first soccer management sim for the Playstation and allows you to sample the pleasures and pressures associated with managing a football club. You will be responsible for your staff, finances, team selection, coaching, tactics, sponsorship, facing the press, transfers and sales. Oh, and you must also play in the games because you are not only a manager, you are the Player Manager.

There are three different ways to play P.M. A "Quick Start" offers you control of a Premier Division club for one season, "Challenge" sets you a target of points to achieve by the end of the season, but "New Game" is the reason we all bought our season tickets. The opportunity to claw your way up from the lower divisions and reach the pinnacle of your career as manager of a top Premiership club.

FEATURES:
  • The most powerful search engine ever - thousands of players detailed
  • 3 game modes: commentary, scanner and full 3D
  • Manage major European clubs in domestic and international competitions
  • The most in-depth pre-match and post-mach analysis
