Player of the Year

PC
Genre:  Sports    |     Year: 1996    |     Publisher: Philips Media     |     Developer: Krisalis
Game Review (written by Shannon) Added on: 12/24/2008
Player of the Year is an exceptionally underrated management simulation game that is based on the English FA with the Professional Footballers Association (PFA). It was created by Krisalis and was mainly formatted for the personal computer running the DOS operating system and was a nineties play. It is based on the game of European rules football, otherwise known as soccer. It plays very similar to the more mainstream game, Manchester United, but actually features a more updated series of players and a more upgraded gaming front during the action portions of the game.


Player of the Year does not really add anything new or novel to the genre of soccer simulations, but it does grab numerous positive elements from many other popular soccer games and successfully blends them together into a single, fluid gaming experience. Player of the Year features a very common gaming interface, and uses the familiar Tacti-Grid system, which many gamers will certainly recognize from other soccer games of the era.

When the game begins, the user has two basic options from which to choose. He can select either player mode or manager mode. If he selects to play in “player” mode, his goal will be to begin the game a s fledgling player in the Division Three conference

and work his way up to the Premier League by being successful and contributing positively to his team’s winning ways. Eventually, as the title of the game will suggest, you will wan to be labeled as “The Player of the Year.” You can put yourself up for trade, and deal with other teams for players that will help your team to win. This will feature a lot of action, as opposed to the statistical focus of the management mode, as the player will also be playing with his purchases.

The manager mode is really very similar, except the manager does not play the actual game, like the player does. He still has a lot of the same options as far as buying and trading players, and trying to win championships. A savvy player will do well in management mode, because the game actually is fairly easy if you are able to snag a couple of really talented players. You cannot train your players to become better over time, so judging talent is very important. Overall, this is a good game that will remain interesting to fans of the sport of soccer for definitely more than one play.
