Step into the manager's shoes of a down-and-out soccer team
and take on all the challenges that come with the position.
Initially you are in charge of the Hillesley United Reserves,
who, due to a mistake at FA Headquarters, find themselves
promoted to the Conference Division. You'll try to win cups
and championships (a few promotions won't hurt either) by
building a strong enough squad of players and picking the
right teams to match the variety of opposition that comes
your way. Along the way to the championship, you'll make all
the gut decisions -- Who'll play in the big games? Who should
be traded? Should you get a loan from the bank to build a new
stadium or acquire star players?
SimSoc keeps track of how well you're doing with a manager rating. This rating is calculated by considering the results you achieve, and determines your ability to get a new job, or the sack from your current one! Once you have proved yourself competent you will find that teams you are playing will, from time to time, try and 'poach' you to be their manager. Potentially your team can go on to win the classic Premier League & FA double, with cracks at the FA Trophy, Minor Cup and League Cup. The ultimate success of your management career is to win the European Cup. Note: Available on CD-ROM issue only. |
