On top of a new game engine, innovative changes and revolutionary features were programmed in Alex Fergusons Player Manager 2001to improve the menu system, speed up the pace and accessibility of options in the game and offer a totally realistic feeling for that tension build up for the game day. New captures of player movement, new player models and dynamic and stadium environments will deliver true representations of player tactics as each game is played in real time, while the advanced post-match statistics will give a guide at a glance at how well these tactics worked. All of these innovative features were covered off with original entry from the games content and a final no-game of the season rating as a manager of the Ferguson player himself.
