Player Manager
Description official description
This innovative action-strategy hybrid recreates the experience of being the player-manager of a third division football team. The game features over 1000 fictional individual players to buy and sell, each with 8 different physical and mental skills rated, and the ability to choose which position they will play in. Four tactical systems are provided, but the game allows to design one from the ground up and put it to the test in various situations using a raytrace system. Training sessions are presented visually, allowing to pinpoint the exact ability and potential of a player.
The playing side of the game uses the Kick Off game engine. After a few seasons, the player-manager's ability fades and they eventually have to retire from playing to concentrate on management. It is however possible to save a team and import it into Kick Off 2.
