Player Manager 2001 for the Nintendo Game Boy Color is a soccer management simulation game released in 2000 by Gremlin Interactive.
It is part of the Player Manager series, which began in 1989 and has seen many releases on various platforms since.
Although it was released only for the Game Boy Color, it has been praised as one of the best management games of its time.
In Player Manager 2001, players take on the role of a manager who must lead their team to victory.
The game begins with players selecting a team from one of 12 leagues from around Europe.
Each team has their own strengths and weaknesses that must be taken into consideration when making decisions about tactics and player selection.
Once a team is selected, players must manage their finances, sign new players, set up training sessions, develop tactics and strategies, and make other decisions to help their team succeed.
In addition to managing on-field activities, they must also deal with media requests and manage relationships with sponsors and other teams.
Gameplay in Player Manager 2001 takes place primarily on two screens: the tactical screen and the main menu screen.
On the tactical screen, players can view upcoming fixtures, adjust their lineups for each match, set up training sessions for their players, change tactics during matches, and more.
The main menu screen allows players to view stats such as league standings and player performance ratings; purchase equipment; access news updates; access financial reports; hire coaches; negotiate contracts with agents; scout new talent; transfer players both inbound and outbound; upgrade stadiums; manage relationships with sponsors; create custom tournaments; play friendly matches against opponents or computer-controlled teams; save progress at any point during gameplay; and more.
The graphics in Player Manager 2001 are quite basic but still do an admirable job of conveying information about each match or situation encountered throughout gameplay.
The sound effects are similarly limited but still add a nice touch to the overall experience.
While not groundbreaking by today's standards, they were certainly impressive for a handheld title back in 2000 when this game was released.
Overall, Player Manager 2001 is an excellent soccer management simulation game that provides hours upon hours of challenging fun for fans of strategy games or sports simulations alike.
Its simple controls allow even novice gamers to quickly become engrossed in its deep mechanics while its numerous options provide experienced gamers plenty of room to experiment with different strategies for success on the pitch—all within an enjoyable package that can be played anywhere thanks to its portable format on the Game Boy Color console!
