Introducing Premier Manager – Exclusive PSN Football Management Game

was gonna buy this bit 13 .99 is a bit much if it was 9.99 then i would have no hesitation

you gotta love the XMB

Who needs realism when you can buy Lionel Messi for £19 Million!

Really thinking of getting this because since the disappearance of Codies LMA Manager the PS3 has been needing a good management game, would be awesome if you could release a patch to enable on-line leagues where your friends can join with their team etc., that would be the icing on the cake.

will the game be getting dlc

Good Luck with Premier Manager, the PS3 really needs a solid up-to-date football management game and I hope this is it.

I’m sure with good communication between gamers & Urbanscan Premier Manager will be massive.

Not available in France ?

And are you able to play online with friends in a private league ?

£14 is a little expensive for an impulse buy. A demo would be a good idea.

Will this be updated at the beginning of the season with regards to the latest transfers?

is it available in german?

mite take a punt now your saying it getting online , a few more trophies would be good too theres not many for a game priced that high

last comment promise lol , you guys should add the trailer from here onto store as when i watched it its made me now buy it

Another thing, can you manage international teams?

It looks good in the video but I won’t be taking the plunge at £14 when there are no reviews or no demo to try out for myself. Its too expensive for an impulse buy I’m afraid. I hope it does well.

looks good, unfortunately i’m not really interested in football and don’t have enough time to try it out. would be cool if we got this through PS+ though

@10

Look at the heads up 28 july post.

Downloadable Games (PS3)
Earthworm Jim HD (Trial and Unlock) (£7.99/€9.99)

So it’s only available in football minded europe Nice

When abouts can we expect the first squad update?

@Jon

That’s a good point regarding the lack of games at international level. However, you could make it so you can manage a club and country at the same time, like you can on that big PC football management sim.

The game is great and i’m addicted BUT why is there no option to search for players by name? That and international management and more leagues would be fantastic…

game is fantastic do not think 13.99 is too much like i 1st thought coz its well worth the money. excellent

Really enjoying it so far. Does anyone know how many years the game goes on?

Not my sorta thing as I don’t like football or management games but I do like the fact you got an XMB-like menu system for easy navigation cos every ps3/psp owner’s gonna find using that is like second nature. Smart.

I’m a football manager player so I doubt i’ll buy it,but is this related to the Prem manager of old?Also the UI looks lovely,good job on that Jon.

Sorry for the double post,are there any plans to allow image importing in future versions.i’m sure getting a little community of modders would help spread the word if there was a future realise.

Just wanted to chime in and say that launching the game like you did yesterday with no video and no screenshots, coupled with Urbanscan’s lack of a web presence with no info on the game available whatsoever, is a really good way of making sure you sell very few copies. This is even more true when it’s more expensive than the average game.

That said, I see you know have a video, so at least you’re doing something about it. I like this type of game, but unfortunately I’ve heard nothing but bad things from the other people I know who have tried it, so I think I shall give it a miss for now.

For the trophy whores out there. You would expect a full set for a game this price? Just look at trine…

i’ve been playing this now for about 10hrs and while is good i only have 3 things that needs to be addressed
A: make the price £9.99 to compete with pc counterparts
B: allow playing personal music via XMB (customer soundtracks)
C: put in a tutorial video about 5 mins long to show people how to do things like searching for specific player which i have no idea how to do etc.

Yes a demo would be excellent . Maybe a few matches to give us a taste.

Nice I loved Prem manager 2,Prem Manager 64 was alright If memory serves me correct it used actua socer as the match engin.

“but I did work on Premier Manager in the late 90’s and early 2000’s”

Awesome,so were you around in the last gremlin then,did they get bought out or merge with DMA into rockstar?it’s a shame they vanished because they were a solid publisher.

was gonna buy then i looked at the price game makers are getting greedy on psn a year ago this would have been a tenner 13.99 is a joke sorry and no doubt you’ll try and fleece users with extra dlc.

I’m loving atm, very addicted and I’m about 5th on the Global Leaderboards

For people wondering you can’t search for a certain player, however if you know the player your getting (e.g Messi) do the following….

1. Go to ‘Manager’ – ‘Transfers’
2. Then go to Team spending..
3.Filter and type the team the player plays for..
4.Press X and Press R2 until you get to the player list
5. Then click on the player press ‘Actions’ and Buy!

Hope this helped!

No Move support? Odd.

Jon there seems to be a glitch, I can never win at Home

Everytime I play a Premier League team at Home I always seem to lose but when I play them Away I win, Very weird

Looks good. A demo would probably make the pennies come out.

Looking good, a bit like Hattrick no?

I have doubts buying this because there is no Belgian league in it. But maybe I will buy it later on.

Not to bad a game but it freezes XMB . hope patch incoming ?

I was excited when I saw there was a Management Sim out.

Im a big management fan, In fact Premier Manager 98 was the 1st management game I played.I have a petition running to bring back lma manager atm (search “bring back lma manager”)

This game is very good I think anyone interested in this type of game should give it a whirl because its by far the best option around at the minute. It also has prem to div 2 leagues which is good… this article doesn’t really state that anywhere

Its still quite hard to navigate and for a game that boasts a pick up and play ability.It took me a good hour to figure out how to navigate and use the search functions,even simple things like swapping players around took a while

New ideas would be to show the number of stars on the team line-up page rather than the aggression stat. (This would save you from having to click each player individually before swapping them around)

The game also desperately needs a much better search function to find players. i.e by skill, name,age etc.The game is hard to find suitable players and can take hours just to sign one person.

These are simple ideas that could be fixed easily

Anyways away from the negatives because I love this game

Just bought the game and you really need to get player positions sorted, there’s barely a position in the Celtic team you guys have got right, not to mention the amount of players there that no longer play for us (John Kennedy retired from football months ago) but it’s the player positions that are most annoying (Glenn Loovens and Jos Hooiveld LB’s? Wrong) if this is the same for most teams it WILL ruin the game, it is supposed to be a management sim after all.

Can you atleast read the previous blog posts ie: Heads up on the Playstation Store you will see that this game is not available in Aus or NZ but this blog post has been labeled AU NZ..

@32. thanks mate was wondering how id did that gonna fire it up now and try it out. been playing as bolton wanderers and wanted to see it luis suarez would join our team but i didnt know how to search for him. lol

Liking the game it is very good, but pretty sure i sold Torres but he is still in my team :O

I take it the Player transfer update will be free? what about the january transfers?

I notice that you don’t have a year in the title (Premier Manager 2011, so does that mean you’ll be updating the game over the years rather than releasing new games?

I’ve heard that there are a few bugs in this game?

Apparently if you play as Liverpool or Arsenal then trophies are disabled.

Might be tempted to buy this but does it include the lower leagues as well? (specifically for england and scotland)and also does it include promotion and relegation or is it only for a single season?

@44 I am Liverpool and I got some trophies.

@46 – It was a joke.

/fail

@47 Yes I failed.

lol don’t worry about it

@46 that sounds like a major bug there.

..I’ll get my coat.
