The most immersive and detailed football sim there is
It is very very detailed. It has an enourmous database of players, in depth details about pretty much every proffesional football club, and an accurate match engine.
The game allows you to vary how much or how little input you have, you can control eveything about your club if you wish. Players react to your decisions, the finances are realistic, training is more in depth, in fact everything about the day to day running of your club requires your input.
You get a real sense that you are in control and you have to make sure you dont overlook or forget certain aspects or you will be punished. This game is not just about making your squad better, it is about improving your club off the pitch too.
There is so much content it can feel overwhelming at first and some of the menus can be confusing. Also there are a few issues that can be a pain. One example is that i got a message from a player asking for an extension to his contract, so i said i would offer him one. I went to the players profile and tried to offer him a contract and i got a message saying "the player refuses to discuss a contract extension at this time". A couple of days later i got a stroppy message asking why i had not offered him a contract yet?!?!
Other than a few issues such as this there is more than enough to keep any footy enthusiast entertained season after season. A truly impressive management game compared to some of its rivals.
