Tactical Manager description

An interesting football Manager, who at the time of creation was called one of the most elaborate and detailed game of this subgenre (though, of course, the scale here is not the one in Ultimate Soccer Manager).

You in this game – the Manager and at the same time the head coach of one football club in the UK (a choice) in one of the lower divisions and experiencing a great shortage of money (these are the initial conditions of the game). In your power – lead the transfer of players, training and tactics of team games on the field, your task – at any price to bring the team to victory, so you can move on to the next division; in addition, in case of success you can offer stronger teams, where the money will be already absolutely other.

To describe this game hardly makes sense, because the General gist of the gameplay is the same as in most other football managers, except that the entire trading process and development of tactical schemes as much as possible, of course, close to reality (for example, formally, to buy you available a thousand (!) players from almost all countries of the world!).

The game interface is mostly text, but the menu is decorated very nice and bright (that is, it is possible to say that the graphics are there, and for a subgenre pretty). The matches in the game are, but, of course, monitor players you can not. The match is shown with a view of the field (without players) in the right part of the screen. The highlights of the match (goals, most dangerous moments and shots) you seem; also during the match you can give your team some tactical advice. Verdict – the game, like any football Manager, but in your direction by far one of the best.
