Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

As the definitive take on football management, Premier Manager 2005-2006 invites you to take control of your favourite club's destiny. Whether brokering multi-million pound transfers, negotiating TV rights, dealing with player tantrums or squeezing the chairman for cash, one thing is certain. The club's future is in your hands.

You may be calling up fixtures, news and medical reports in preparation for the next match, whilst consulting with the scout and junior team coach, all before holding a press conference on the latest antics of the star midfielder and heading off to the big Saturday afternoon match. It's all in a hard day's work, but success is ultimately measured by results. Will it be silverware or P45 this season?

3.0 out of 5 stars Good........... for a console., 13 Sep 2005
By N. Cotton "nlco199" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm something of a sucker for Football management sims on consoles and have it is sad to say been let down every single time. Sometimes my optimism has lasted until I've tried to buy a player and found it to be akin to one of the tasks of hercules. Other times my misplaced optimism has lasted up until the first game of the season before I review the match in the 10th minuite to find that 5 of my players have been sent off including the keeper, the remainder of my squad injured and I'm trailing 5-0 to Accrington stanley.

Despite this there have been some positives, the tactics of LMA manager and stadium development of earlier incarnations of premier manager being two of the rare highlights. In short though console management sims have never, will never, and simply can never compete in the same league as the behemoth's on the pc with infinate databases and tactical choices made possible by the pc's processing power, memory and hard-drive.

The art of the console sim should be to offer something a bit different which Premier Manager does with the media interaction, player happiness and helpfull pointers which are provided by your staff. The rest of the game is competent but no more than average, the database is ok, the matches play ok, menu... check, ok. All in all respectible, even good for a console version. The tactics though are extremelly limited compared even to pc/amiga sims of long ago with only a handfull of formations and an inability to control individual players movements. All the standard formations are there, 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 5-3-1 but there are no other formations such as 4-3-1-2 or anything slightly off the beaten path which is a little disappointing and means that when you go a goal down there is little you can do to adjust tactics and get back into the game.

The lack of tactical options add a frustrating edge to what is a good game, for example what's the point of scouting the opposition to find out their biggest threat and not be able to assign your toughest player to man-mark him out of the game. Whilst the lack of choice can be put down to the hardware imposed limitations it seems to me that there is even less on offer than LMA manager on the PS1 so sureley an option to set markers, strength of trackling and a few more formations wasn't beyond the realms of possibility.

Gripes aside Premier manager is an enjoyable if not an immersive experience and slightly raises the bar for a consle management sim. Sadly though the bar was not very high to begin with.

3.0 out of 5 stars No more than a stop gap, 29 Aug 2005
On the whole an easy game to control and understand. Nothing challenging, you buy a player he plays well you get goals you win the league, your chairman loves you. Job done.

A little disappointed though considering this is the playstation 2 and not commodore 64 as the graphics would suggest.

Good points.

 Transfer system is realistic, as in if a player doesn't want to come to you he wont regardless of how many times you offer him a larger contract.
 There is more input from the media regarding how you are doing as a manager and also a chance for players to apologise if the press has misquoted them.
 Money system is spot on players are transferred for what they are really worth. E.g. I had Lyon accepting 8Million for Essien but he turned me down apparently Darlington aren't a big enough club????
 The scores in the games are more realistic, where Chelsea may beat Wigan by 5-0 and draw with Everton 1-1.
 Players have some loyalty to a club so are very unlikely to move twice in a short space of time just because you have offered the asking price for them.
 Coaches have more of an input into the game rather than just letting the time tick away the coaches will pop up and tell you where the team is going wrong or maybes where there are gaps in the opposition.

Bad Points

 Limited management opportunities one of only six countries to manage.
 Unless you are a small club the chairman just keeps throwing money at you to buy players with.
 Transfer money is incorporated into club finances. If you spend 10 million on players your club has no financial reserves. It is possible to spend all your clubs money on transfers and not have any left ground maintenance or wages. But again the chairman just tops the pot up each time.
 Live matches either go really slowly where it takes an hour to get through one week, media stories, transfer updates, the match, after match press, etc etc or it goes super quick where the players are a blur and when a goal is scored the players aren't in a position to realistically score, they may still be attacking the left wing with the ball but you have a goal.
 The graphics in general are slow and weak considering the power of the PS2 I was disappointed; it reminds me of going back to Pro evolution soccer that kind of tacky blocky writing and pixelated characters.

Best in its class currently as the market seems flooded with cricket games. Probably have to look to the PC for a decent football management game.

This game will only be a stop gap between now and when football manager 2006 arrives on the scene.

2.0 out of 5 stars Strange, 22 Sep 2005
My friend came up to me and asked he we could trade my Football manager 2005 for premier manager 2005/6 for a week. I stupidly accepted this joke of an offer and am currently sueing for false advertisement. Im not going to go on about the fact the game looks like it was made by a 5 year old, the players names not being real and the fact that most top clubs have chairman that keep toping up the transfer kitty even at Leeds!!!. Ill only say two things from my experience both about Michael Ricketts or whatever his alias is in the game, he has been sent off before half time in two games and has mysteriously popped up in the second half and scored a goal, i don't know if the referee wasn't looking when he ran on and another thing is that Michael ricketts scores goals which is not realistic at all.
