New! Improved! LMA Manager 2002 for PlayStation 2
Put yourself in the hotseat one more time - April will see the latest version of the greatest console football management game.
Boasting a series of tweaks and improvements to the footy management experience, the next incarnation of Codemasters’ LMA Manager series promises the definitive interactive experience. The series has been a hit with fans of the genre since it first appeared in 1999; three years on, and the game is undergoing a slight overhaul.
Designed from the ground up for the PlayStation 2, LMA Manager 2002 is being touted as universally accessible for every football fan but with depth to satisfy the toughest managers. Codemasters also claims the PS2 version will feature every European team, strip and player in the 2001/2002 football season. Most impressive. Codies have also signed up Match of the Day’s Alan Hansen and Gary Lineker to provide insightful commentary as only they can.
Says Simon Prytherch, head of one of Codemasters’ internal studios and producer of the LMA series.
"The LMA games are acclaimed as the greatest football management series for the PlayStation, and now as it comes to PlayStation 2 we want to build on that and produce something that every football fan wants to play. The management aspects will be as good as ever, but it will have the look and feel PlayStation 2 gamers expect from today’s best software."
"We’re giving the players all the atmosphere, tension and excitement of managing your team from the dugout," says Simon "and of course this new game gives players absolute control over any of the English, Scottish, Italian, German, Spanish or French league football clubs.
"The armchair football fan might find a football action game a bit too hectic but would love a game that has the presentation and depth of their favourite TV programme. If you regularly watch the football on Saturday morning TV then this game is for you. You always thought you could do better than your club’s manager, here’s your chance to prove it."
