Unlike the data update that is PM98, Ninety Nine (the actual title of the
game) uses Dinamics’ PC Futbol 6 engine to go along the obligatory 1998-99
squad updates. Among the new features, it is now possible to make more than
one player bid at the same time, more frequent and detailed staff messages,
player history to track down previous seasons, a full 3D match engine and a 2D
radar view (replacing the old text mode) and finally merchandising and
catering, and individual adboard management. The detailed database is still
there, and so are the Manager and Pro-Manager modes. Only the English leagues
are playable still and Kevin Keegan, Fulham and then soon-to-be England
manager, endorsed the title.

The manager modes and options remain the same: Manager allows the player to
start in any team, Pro-Manager requires building a career from the Conference,
promoting the club from the lower divisions or getting promoted himself to
better ranked teams. The difficulty level can be further tweaked by changing
areas where the staff takes control, and you can determine if players age and
retire with time.

Again, up to 20 players can play in Manager mode and 8 in Pro-Manager.
