Gameplay
Premier Manager 2 follows on from Premier Manager and uses the same situation for the game. The user gets to choose one of the Conference League teams to join as manager. They then must manage the team's players and tactics to win matches. The team can play in both the league and cup competitions.
In the Conference League the teams automatically qualify for the FA Cup first round, unlike in reality where non-league teams must go through qualifying rounds. As well as managing the team, the user must also manage the club's finances, such as bank loans and advertising boards. Money can be raised by selling players, adding sponsors, and ticket sales, as well as some miscellaneous events. To improve ticket sales, the user can invest in upgrading various aspects of the stadium such as seating and facilities.
Reception
Premier Manager 2 was seen as an improvement from the original Premier Manager game. Amiga User International observed that various interface changes made the game much more enjoyable to play. The magazine rated Premier Manager 2 at 91%. It was also the magazines's "Game of the Month".
The One Amiga also rated the game highly at 90% but drew attention to the lack of the sound in the game. Amiga Format said the game was let down by the minimal sound effects but rated the game highly at 89%, and said it is a very realistic football management simulation.
