Manchester United Premier League Champions

After Manchester United won the English League championship for the first time
since 1967, it was no surprise that Krisalis re-used their existing license
for a third licensed football game. Little did they know that the club was
entering an unprecedented run of success that has continued well into the
2010s.

The basic control system will be familiar to anyone who’s played a Kick Off
game, as it involves holding fire to trap the ball under your player’s foot,
and releasing fire to pass, although the ball will be kicked onwards if it is
moving fast when it comes to you. Other gameplay features include diving
headers, variable pitch conditions, penalty shoot-outs and accurate
deflections. 2500 players featured in the game all had a range of varied
ability statistics, as well as different skin tones.

As well as individual matches and custom-created tournaments (which have much
the same range of features as Sensible Soccer, plus full calculation of injury
and suspension severities, including disciplinary points and differing injury
lengths), you can play out a full season of matches for any club in England’s
top 5 divisions – all domestic league and cup matches are included, with
promotions and relegations taking place after each season. The Tacti-Grid
editor allows for advanced match tactics to be configured and experimented
with.
