Hi everyone! I just downloaded Player Manager 2 but I can't get it to work using DosBox.
Can someone help me?

I extracted the game into a folder and placed it in my C drive.
Then, using DosBox I did this

1. mount C "C:\Player Manager 2"
2. C:
3. dir.exe

And there are several things over there (Setup.exe ; MAIN.EXE; DOS4GW.EXE; etc)

when I type either main.exe or DOS4GW.EXE it says that this game runs in a "protective mode" or something like that. And I can't run this game as a result.

What did I miss or did wrong?

Hi,

Going back to page 2 of this thread when someone talked about this game aborting. I'm having the same problem. After playing an indeterminate number of seasons within the game (sometimes it happens after 3-4 seasons, sometimes more) the game randomly exits to the Dosbox command prompt with the following message:

"Abort = 1224 64"

Anyone recognise this or what it could be? It's probably just a bug with the game but if there is something I could do within Dosbox to stop this it would be great.

Thanks,

Sighmohn

Hi

I`m having the same problem, after 3-4 seasons the team is suddenly not full, I`ve checkt the team several times and it`s full (11 player + 2 sub). my game is not aborting, i just cant continue because i can`t play the next game. Do enybody know why this problem occours? I`ve read through some other forums and there is something with saving more than 6 time one season, but i`ve played 4 season straight. Do enybody have this game and have played more than 5-6 seasons? where this not problem occours?
I`m using DosBox, and the game is working perfect until the problem with "not full team".

Thanks,

Sorry to dredge up a slightly older thread but I am having trouble running this under DOSbox and wondered if anyone could offer some help. Specifically, I can get the game running but when it comes to the match engine, the players all run to the bottom right of the screen when I get control, as if the joystick hasn't calibrated properly. I have tried everything to get it to work, but nothing seems to work - funnily enough, it seems a little random. I managed to play one game once but upon exiting and restarting, the calibration error happened again. Strangely, I remember playing this on Win 95 years ago and the same used to happen then - the game would be fine and then every so often a match would be ruined by the controls pulling to the bottom right.

The odd thing is that Player Manager 2 works fine under DOSbox, no problems with the controls. It's only Player Manager 2 Extra that has issues. A shame really as the UI and graphics are slightly better than PM2.

hi all
i'v ebeen playing this game for 2 days..
i have a little issue.. seems i'm competing for some cup (no idea which is it.. still haven't understood much..)
however i faced my last match, and after the 2 times i was even 3-3, after wztra times it was 4-4
now players are shooting penalties...
but....
errrrrrrrrr
it's been a while so far... score is.... 27-54 ...
should i quit?

[_r.u.s.s.]

run setup first and disable sounds
then run pm2.bat

ah, great to play this again, been looking for it for a long time (which can be hard if you cannot recall the game's name :notrust But I would have sworn that this game also had some nifty visuals in for the highlights...some textbased review if I remember correct, but when there was a goal or something, you got a short 3d visual of the shooter and keeper...or am i completely wrong for the version of this game?

I am pretty sure you are talking about Player Manager 2 Extra: The Chase for Glory.

Also, I have the full version of the game (with sound and music). Is anyone interested?

You should upload this somewhere. It's very difficult to find for download on the internet. One of my favourite football manager games. The best part is the very in-depth training controls.

A lot of the graphics (apart from when playing the actual match) were excellent for the time and haven't dated too badly. I always had problems running this in DOSBox, though, and it was impossible to get it going under Windows.

You are right-it's very difficult to find the full version of the game these days. Therefore, I hope I won't violate anything by posting a link here.

You can download it at http://www.onlinebizwizard.com
Just look in the download section.

I hope abandonia downloads it too. Why have a CD-rip when you can have the full version, right?
