Why doen't anybody know anything about Euro League Football?
I've read 3 reviews which state that this game is the continuing of Premier Manager series, taken over by Dinamic Multimedia after Gremlin Interactive ended, but now has changed its name to Euro League Football and is better than ever. You can now play as a manager or not or use tactics like in the previous Premier games.
Player Manager is just one great feature. Anyway............................................ .......my problem is there was a little talk about it and even a pc pack shot on soccergaming couple of months ago, although nobody talks or seeems to know anything except Gamespot UK and Pcgame.com.
Still I can't find any online stores in the U.S. and only one in England that sell this great game.

Can anyone help me by giving me advice or info. Matt Holme seems to might know the game or somebody at Soccergaming.

Euro League Football has been readily available here in the UK for about a month now. Most stores stock it, i.e. EB and GAME but Tempo are selling it for £24.99.

The game itself is somewhat an enigma. It fuses the detail of club management with an arcade simulation. The game can be played a number of levels from total control of the club, (including catering and merchandise), to just managing to actual on field play. Similarly, you can play for your team, (but sadly not as one individual as in the Anco original Player Manager), or watch the match, have a quick view scanner type account of the game or simply see the result.

The management aspect of the game is fine although there are a few glitches, such as players informing you that they want a transfer as they haven't been picked, when they have always been in your starting eleven. The action side of the game is a little disappointing. The graphics are superb, the Premier League stadia are especially fantastic. The players are well animated and much more realsitic than even Fifa. The commentry by Dominic Diamond is also good. The problems lie with the control and the opponent AI. For a start the standing tackle button doesn't work. I have contacted Dinamic and they have said that they are working in this. This means that you can only win the ball through sliding, very risky or if the opposition give you the ball. Secondly, the change of player is not particularly sharp, for example you have a two on one situation running into the opponents box. You look up to find a fellow forward in a great position. You try to gently pass the ball to him to create a one on one with the keeper, BUT your forward decides that a 40 yard back pass to the winger would be more appropriate. The control delay also affects corners. As you cannot block tackle and there is a horrendous delay in switching players at set pieces you do conceede a fair amount of goals in this manner. The opposition are none too bright either and usually the player can waltz a goal in from a mazy run from the halfway line, or crack a long range effort from 40 yards as the keepers are often caught napping.

Overall it doesn't try to be Championship Manager meets Fifa 2000. The game is a watered down fusion of the two genres. I get the feeling that it has been rushed out. If the problems listed above were ironed out we would have ourselves a geniune Fifa beater. As it stands it is an addictive, compelling and fun game that does bring back memories of Player Manager and Sensible World of Soccer and would recommend it to anyone who fancies a little more depth than Fifa, without the pages of statistics that come with Championship Manager.

Thanks for the good input Walton Sw!
It sounds like a game maybe worth buying over fifa, but those glitches seem to be a problem.

I have a few questions though.................Do you have the game?
If so are those glitches just in the controls when you play the game or when you just watch the game?
I live in the U.S. and I was hoping EB or on EBworld.com would sell the game, because I don't want to purchase it from the UK if I don't have to. They would rip me off on the exchange rate! Please can you give more info on places I can go online to buy this game.

Thanks again for replying!:-)
