Liga Polska Manager '97 PC

Liga Polska Manager '97 is the second installment of a football manager, set in the realities of the domestic football league and started in 1995 by 18-year-old Rafal Cymerman. This time MarkSoft engaged a completely new creator with a little more experience to work on the game, which was Mariusz Trzaska.

Just like in the original, in the game we have the opportunity to lead any of the football clubs from the I, II or III league. The original teams come from the end of the autumn round of the 96/97 season. The mechanics of the game resembles the first installment of the series, and the role of the player as a team manager is limited to taking care of all aspects of the field (such as the acquisition and sale of players or the setting of training and tactics for subsequent matches), as well as financial (i.e. setting ticket prices, signing advertising and TV contracts or stadium expansion).

Unlike the previous part of the game, individual players are described by five different parameters that characterize the form, technique, speed, pass and shot. Each of them was assigned only one fixed pitch position. Compared to its relatively easy predecessor, in the new edition of the Polish League the difficulty level was set at an even lower level. As a result, promotion to a higher league or national championship is possible even during the first league season. Despite the large number of variables, pitch and other factors do not significantly influence the attitude of the team and individual players.

The binding of the game Liga Polska Manager '97 was influenced mainly by the transfer of the game to the Windows environment. On the one hand, the whole looks very clear and aesthetic, and the individual windows are accompanied by high quality photographs of teams and football facilities. On the other hand, the game has a lot of simplifications, e.g. match animations have been completely abandoned, and the course of the most interesting situations is reported in text form.
