If, as football sages claim 'the cream always rises to the top' then Premier Manager 99 from Gremlin Interactive ought to be packaged in choux pastry. The devourer of spare time and breaker of relationships goes for all out attack and it's 99 times better than the opposition. Alternatively you could take over the reigns at a fledging Reggiana, achieve promotion from Serie B and ultimately affiliate with the big boys in the top flight. The English Leagues include fully upgraded data and visuals - witness the stylised team strips and club badges are now on show. Once you've chosen your team you'll find the tactical aspect of PM 99 a whole new ball game.
Work done on the training ground now has a much bigger impact on what happens out on the pitch.
Coaching is now done on a 'one to one' basis with many more 'skills' upon which you can improve on. Of course a manager's job doesn't stop once the team are out on the pitch. All English competitions featured in PM'98 remain and are joined by the three main tournaments from the Azzuri - League Championship, Copa Italia and the Super League. The words of the great Ken Bates there, uttered as another attempt to bring the Premiership trophy to Chelsea ends in vain with only 50million invested in Milan's reserves to show for it. The new sacking feature allows you to feel the heat from any uncompromising chairmen.
