Yeah, I remember seeing that. It also had his signature all over the box, as if to lend the game a bit of extra gravitas.

Literally any of the old school games in which you'd spend ages managing the squad, only to fin that you had to play as the team anyway.

Making it one or the other is surely the most obvious starting point for making a decent game. Only exception is Player Manager as you were just one of the team.

First Division Manager on the Atari ST was pretty rubbish. Match highlights featured a 2D pitch, but there were only about 15 animations different for the goals, so after a while you knew exactly what would happen from seeing the first 2 seconds of the highlight.

The funniest thing for me, though, was that my brother bought it thinking you could actually control the players. Disappointed that this wasn't the case he valiantly argued that as it was First Division Manager, you should be able to control the players in all the other divisions. He promtly set out to get his team relegated to prove this to me.

Premier Manager IIRC, the one with Keegan on the front.

LMA Manager is the best PS Manager Game :cool:

Can't remember whether it was Player Manager or Premier Manager, but in the highlights it used to show you how a corner was won and would always result in a goal from said corner

Kinkladze used to always score from the kick off aswell

Indeed it was

And iirc, you could never score a penalty? I seem to remember the highlights showing penalties, and they were always saved.

Anyone remember Graham Taylor's Soccer Challenge on the Amiga?

Quite possibly the most difficult game I've ever played, nigh on impossible to be successful at it, as players always decline whatever you do, and you end up getting a drubbing in every game, plus the fact you had to start of in the bottom division and you couldn't choose which team you wanted to be and I'd always end up being given someone like Barnet or Aldershot who both had terrible squads.

The match sequence was an abomination, a 3D-esque top down view, which tbf was pretty poor although pretty unique for the era in which the game come out.

iirc the game came with two disks, one for league management and one for international management, however you could only use the international disk if you were offered the England job, which quite obviously I never did!

Terrible, terrible game.

Plus there was Club Football, yet another abomination of a game which came out on the Amiga, very likely the most buggiest game ever (even worse than CM4!).

Other games I hated:-

Premier Manager 3 (too hard)
On The Ball (just dire)
Football Tactician/Tactical Manager (good in practice but took waaaaaay too long to be successful)
Football Masters (Laughable)

The Double on the C64. Well, not really the worst game (pretty good, actually). It just took ages to play.

It was fast as sh!t of a hot shovel on the speccy though.

There was one on the PS1, around 2000, where I had guys playing in the Scottish 3rd division who were worth over £1m. It was possibly the Alex Ferguson one.
