Ultimate Soccer Manager 98/99
Added by
CowboyFromHell One of the most underrated soccer simulation series of all time is back, and this time is arguably a better game than venerable Championship Manager 2.USM 98 contains data for the 7 biggest Euroepean Leagues: England, Scotland, Italy, France, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands. That's over 400 clubs and around 12,000 individual players, all with appropriate skills and stats. Although very similar to Championship Manager in terms of epic scope and a multitude of options, it is better for one thing: a statistics editor. This allows you to edit the teams and players to keep them up to date, something that is a very nice touch and not seen in soccer management sims until much later. In addition to new features that set the game apart from competitors, USM 98 boasts one of the most detailed and realistic transfer systems ever devised. Similar to business games such as Hollywood Mogul, the game requires you to negotiate with the club and the player’s agent. You can loan, buy, or exchange players-- and even offer extra cash if the player plays more than 15 matches for example. You can have all six European leagues run at the same time, which opens up the possibility of not only player transfers but also management offers from clubs in Serie A. The game offers two play modes: either full-management (running the entire club from advertising to pricing snacks), or coach (football elements only). There are numerous other nice touches, such as the excellent tactics editor, post-match newspaper reports, and a much-improved interface that is more accessible for beginners than the esoteric interface of CM2. Although there are a few shortfalls, such as the limited number of available players for transfer, and the apparent ease of play-- it seems you won't get sacked no matter how badly you are managing the team, USM 98 in all other respects is the game that equals --or even *exceeds*-- CM2. If you are a soccer fan, this is a must-have
Morbeous Bring this game to GOG please

Budo99 One of the most underrated soccer (football) games ever made, and easily my favorite sports game ever. Seriously for a European company how is it there are too few footie games on GoG?
JRAJ19 I don't know if bumps are allowed as I don't post frequently but BUMP for this game for sure.
putoinformatico It would be great to be able to play this game without a Win98 virtual machine.
andrewguk Too few football (soccer) games on gog.com. I would love this to happen!
titos2k sad bump
andrewguk Amazing game! One of the best football (soccer) management video games ever created!
Mackametti This NEEDS to happen, best soccer manager game of all time
ToOn7 I would love for this game to be added to GoG's archive.
mot-K With this game my virtual soccer manager career started...
would be great to play it just for the music :D
Treezick I knew that someone must have already created a topic asking for this gem. This is the best soccer manager game I've ever played and I've tried them all. GoG, please.
saulsavage Please, please, please! I spent hours on this gem back in the day, but I know that there are still many more hours to be lost to this unique football sim!
titos2k still have to install VirtualPC to play this awesome game ;__;
korkut Yeah, please add this game into GoG's awesome game archive :=)
mot-K will never forget the awesome music :D
krashd Only management sim I think I ever played which lets you choose the location of and purchase burger vans outside your stadium, hahaha. Lots of memories with this game.
chesterdave If this is USM 98 but with the 10 season crash bug fix (which I think it is) then it gets my vote.
