Sometimes this version gets caught in between the retro style of the original game, and the 2002 version. The in-match action is presented by former footballer turned BBC analyst Alan Hansen. Two versions were released, one for the English leagues as before, and another specifically covering the Scottish Premier and Football Leagues. The second LMA game was released - also on PlayStation - in March 2001. The first LMA Manager video game was released in 1999 for the PlayStation. The series has different titles in different regions: LMA Manager in the UK (named after the League Managers Association), BDFL Manager in Germany (basically the German equivalent of the LMA), Manager de Liga in Spain, Football Manager Campionato in Italy, and FC Manager - La Passion du Foot in France since the 2006 ion (the French ion of the series was previously named Roger Lemerre - La Sélection des Champions after the former coach of the French national team). Developed primarily for consoles, the franchise differs from the PC-based Football Manager and Championship Manager series by focusing on visual details such as a fully 3D match engine, although still maintaining the realism and level of detail craved by fans of the genre - a unique combination when the series was first released.

LMA Manager is a football management video game series developed and published by Codemasters. Microsoft Windows, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Xbox 360
