Teams
Teams
The game featured all teams in La Liga, Segunda División and, for the first time, Segunda División B for a total of 122 teams available in the Manager and Promanager league modes. Additionally it included all teams that participated in the UEFA Champions League, the Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Cup except for those ousted in the two latters' qualifying rounds and a selection of South American teams were available as playable teams in the friendly games mode.
Manager and Promanager modes
Manager and Promanager modes
The Manager mode allowed the player to play with a single Primera, Segunda or Segunda B team, while Promanager was a password-protected career mode that had him choose initially from a number of lower-ranked Segunda División B teams, with increasingly higher-ranked teams made available as seasons passed if the established objectives were met. Both modes offer four different approaches to the gameplay, having the player act as either the club's coach (Entrenador), manager (Manager), chairman (President) or all three. The matches can be either played (Arcade), watched (Visionado) or have its result and statistics displayed in half-time and full-time score boards (Resultado). For the first time, a mobile-camera 3D engine was developed for the two former modes, even though the players still were 2D models. Either a keyboard or a joystick could be used, allowing for local multiplayer, and up to 20 teams could be used in each save slot.

Release
Release
PC Fútbol 5.0 was scheduled to be released in October 1996, like previous PC Fútbol editions, but the ambitious scope of the software proved too taxing for the seven-member programming team and the production was eventually delayed to December. However, part of the software was turned into Gremlin Interactive's Premier Manager 97 and released in November in the United Kingdom. The full software still couldn't be finished in time for its intended Spanish release, and its production was eventually completed in December for a January 1997 release, just in time for the Reyes Magos celebration. The game was a major commercial success for Dinamic and sold 305.000 copies in Spain.
Trivia
Trivia
Raúl Martínez, who played in Segunda B for Valencia's farm team, had a far higher ingame basic rating (72) than the other players in the category and could be sold for any release clausule regardless how high, which made him very popular among the game's players. Martínez claims that when the following season he signed for Yeclano its coach admitted that he had attracted his attention through his rating in the game.
