FourFourTwo is the followup to UEFA Manager 2000, Bubball’s first managing
game. It includes nine playable European league (English, Scottish, Italian,
French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Belgian and Portuguese) that can be played in
both Free mode (where the player selects any team and plays with it for the
duration of the game) or Career mode, where the player starts in lower
divisions and build his career from the bottom. Another mode allows the player
to choose one of eight challenges: get a promotion in one season, win a
domestic double or generate enough money to save the club. The game also
includes two special modes: Coaching a team in either English, French,
Scottish, Italian or German leagues in the 1981-82 season., or selecting one
of Europe’s finest 20 teams ever.

While the game goes beyond the coaching roles and includes usual financial
options usually seen in German managing games, the player can choose to play
as either Coach or Manager. By selecting coach, the financial aspect of the
game (stadium upgrades, ticket prices, merchandising and catering among
others) is delegated to the computer.

The game includes a 3D engine that is used for both the 3D match view and to
take part in press conferences, pre-match pep talks and post match interviews.
