This is the first product to successfully combine football management and action games together. [[Dino Dini]] was responsible for all engineering and game design.
The game had a full management simulation with a live transfer market, and CPU controlled managers bidding against each other as well as the player. This product started the whole Player-Manager franchise.

==Updated version==
From 2005 the [[KOA]] started the work on updating [[Player Manager]] with reverse engineering tecnique. [[Steve Camber]] started the work modifing the classic [[Player Manager]] removing [[PBD]], [[Jesper]] adding the same [[Ball]] and [[pitches|pitch]] of [[Kick Off 2]].
