Premier Manager 2004–2005 is a football management simulation video game, developed and published by Zoo Digital Publishing and released for the Game Boy Advance, PlayStation 2, and PC Windows in November 2004.
Players select their starting line-up and formations, with matches realised in a 2D isometric view.
The PC version was heavily criticised by Steve Hill of PC Zone who gave it a score of just 12/100, describing the game as "more primitive than the original [Premier Manager]", with gameplay "painfully slow to the point of being unwatchable for more than a few seconds".
[5] The Daily Record's review also pointed to the slowness of the gameplay, with the game characterised as a "clunking mess which actually makes fast PC chips redundant, grinding away to yet another spreadsheet where it should be flashing through them like Wayne Rooney on speed".
[6] P2 magazine's Kendall Lacey was equally damning of the PlayStation 2 version, pointing to its "clunky interface" and "budget-title feel", imploring readers to "stick to LMA Manager" in his 4/10 review.
