Kevin Toms Football Star Manager

As a fan of Premier manager 98 on the Playstation 1 this game is perfect for throwing on and just enjoying some low concentration gaming. Not having to spend hours setting formations or scouting players or worry about how much your half time pies cost is such a nice change from the hyper-realistic management games on the market that cost 20x what this did. I'll be playing this long after I unlock all the recently activated achievements

I just smashed Scunthorpe United 6-0. We're gonna win the league.

I’ve now played a few seasons now and there’s definitely a good, simple football management game here. It captures the spirit of the original really well, but there are areas that could be improved without losing that simplicity. Results feel fairer the deeper you go I've found, but I think the game would benefit from a fixture preview. Right now, you don’t know who you’re playing next until the match starts, which makes it difficult to rest players or prepare for big games against top teams or in the cup. Even a basic fixture list would add some forward planning and strategy without complicating the game. The match highlights could also use a little more variety like more passes, corners, free kicks, pens, keeper diving, hitting the post would make them feel less repetitive and more exciting. I'm not a fan of the goal frame, it seems a strage size to me, But overall its a solid and enjoyable throwback that just needs a few small tweaks to feel complete for me.

KRÓTKA PIŁKA: Ależ piękny powrót do przeszłości! To pierwszy futbolowy menadżer z 1982 roku. Ależ się wtedy grało... I wiecie co? To wciąż działa! Dzisiaj też się fajnie gra. Zaskakujące, prawda? A jednak dostajemy tu solidny remasterek, który pozwala grać z przyjemnością w tak muzealną grę. Jego siła to prostota i skupienie na tym, co najfajniejsze. Owszem nie ma wielu rzeczy, które dodano w późniejszych menadżerach, ale to co najlepsze, to ta rozgrywka, prostota, minimalizm, przejrzystość interfejsu. Chociaż grafika jest naprawdę leciwa, to ten menadżer gra się nawet lepiej niż niektóre współczesne menagery, przepakowane milionem opcji i dodatków, odwracających uwagę od właściwej rozgrywki. Kevin Toms ładnie ją zremasterował. Duże brawa dla tego Pana. Rada: Gra ma jeden główny minusik - jest tylko liga angielska. Szkoda, że nie ma hiszpańskiej La Liga.

Great!

for those of a certain age this is the classic original that we played over and over again, rekindling your youth

great game i had this game over 30 yrs ago

Great nostalgia hit from the 1980s for an owner of the original ZX Spectrum version. Probably too basic for today's players, but the simplicity means quick games and it's surprisingly addictive nonetheless. Also the most egregious failing of the original (player skill resets at the end of season so Kevin Keegan 5* becomes 1*) has been fixed to +/- 1/0 skill level. Give it a try!
