Game Features

Build you Career

  • Press conferences – you’ve just been appointed and the Chairman puts you in front of the press – nightmare!
    All they want to know is your views on the current squad, transfers, tactics, and so on. Your answers will influence your reception by the fans, players, and board.
  • Be the manager or simply the coach - if you are into stress then take on the role of the manager, controlling both the playing side of your club, the clubs finances & the facilities (build new stands and set the price of the hot dogs etc). If all that seems a bit too much then just play as the coach focusing your attention on the team and their results.

  • Set piece editor – practice those all important set-piece moves before the game, then watch to see if the players remember their training during the match.
  • Strengthen the squad – Your training camp needs those back room lads. Your team needs a striker. Get out there and find someone now!
  • Team training and coaching – send them to a training camp or let them go holiday? Don’t train them too hard or the may be exhausted come the match.
  • Pre-match instructions – the opposition have announced their team and you need to make a few adjustments. Tweak the squad instructions to meet the changing conditions.
