Premier Manager 2000

[2] Premier Manager 2000 is a football management simulation game that puts the player in charge of a team of their choice from the top four English divisions (Premier League to the third division, as it was known at the time) or the top two Italian, German, French, and Spanish leagues.

[3] The game features brief pre-rendered 3D animations, which trigger during certain in-game events such as players retiring or the construction of new stadia.

[5] The title received mixed reviews, with critics praising its simple user interface and pick up and play gameplay but with others arguing that the gameplay was little changed from the previous game in the series (Premier Manager: Ninety Nine) and pointing to the relative strength of competitors on the console such as LMA Manager.

CVG's Maura Sutton wrote that the game "rapidly dissolves into a tedious mixture of text and repetitive churning through various screens" and criticised the "clunky and awkward" control system, awarding a score of just 2/5.

[3] Writing in Extreme PlayStation magazine, Kendall Lacey gave a score of 85%, describing it as an "interesting and fulfilling challenge" for players who were willing to "put in some serious hours" and wrestle with the full depth of the game's options.
