Gameplay
F.A. Manager is a football management simulation game that puts the player in charge of a team of their choice from the top five English divisions (Premier League to the Conference, as it was known at the time) from the 1998–99 season.
Commentary is provided by Brian Moore, with edited match highlights presented to the player (rather than the full match) and the ability to pause to make tactical adjustments or substitutions.
Reception
The game was awarded 3/5 in CVG, with reviewer Steve Key describing "scouting the transfer market, haggling with clubs, or bringing one of your youth team players through the ranks" in-game as "satisfying", but ultimately suggesting that readers seek out of Premier Manager: Ninety Nine as the best football management simulation game on the console.
Extreme PlayStation magazine's Doug Williams wrote that "if you're a fan of endless stats and football facts F.A. Manager causes no problems", but argued that it lacked the "polish, shine and user-friendliness of Premier Manager", in his 68% review.
