The Story so Far:
 
      Welcome to the world of Player Manager 2000, a world where football management comes to life with more realism than you can possibly handle.

Experience all of the emotions that you'd expect from managing a football team, from fixture pile ups that effect top clubs to taking on the role of a giant killer on a shoe string budget.

You'll have to really think about both your squad and tactics before every game. As no two games are the same and each team you face requires a different approach. In the tactics designer you may choose to instruct a winger to make runs down the wing and cross the ball into the box. This is OK in theory, but in practice the winger may not have sufficient pace to make these runs successfully. By using the tactics designer statistical analysis you can check that the player has enough skills and attributes to complete your instructions.

Game Features include:
3 separate match options: Commentary - Text based commentary with mini pitch and fluctuating player statistics. Scanner - With isometric full pitch view with highlights option for the experienced manager. 3D game - With fully motion captured players and spectacular roaring stadiums for the ultimate visual experience.

The most in-depth statistics on over 30,000 players world wide. Each player has 18 'easy to use' visible skills and attributes to watch out for: Passing, Heading, Control, Pace, Power, Composure, Shooting, Dribbling, Leadership, Stamina, Resilience, Aggression, Tackling, Keeping, Dead ball, Agility, Vision, Intelligence.

Each player has 22 invisible statistics including morale, mental health, adjusting to new weather conditions, ego, not getting on with other players and so on. Manage any major European Club with domestic and international competitions.

Team and individual player tactics
Using the state of the art tactics designer you can instruct you players to man mark, make forward and backward runs, directly pass to other players, pass into space, make early or by-line crosses, play long balls, shoot on sight, take on a defender as well as assign a captain, penalty taker, corner taker and dead ball taker. Team and individual training including player role development i.e. Upgrade a defender to a midfielder.

The most powerful search engine ever, that allows you to highlight which of the 18 skills and attributes are important to you when looking for that perfect player.

The most in-depth and 'easy to use' post match statistics showing overall possession both defensively and offensively, dead ball opportunities, distribution of play and player coverage all beautifully laid out on a mini pitch.

Full save game and replay playback so you can enjoy that special game over and over again.
