Follow your players' fitness, choose your captain, matchday squads and strategies, handle the transfer windows, and make sure that your players are always developing.Try taking a trip to Little Sicily. Dealing with the mafia is risky, but the prospect of placing illegal bets on your upcoming match, bribing the F.A. to get suspensions wiped off or getting your hands on some stamina-enhancing doping might just get too tempting at times. And don't sweat it—if you're not interested in this sort of stuff, you can just ignore the mafia and play the game as a regular football manager game.Handle different scenarios! Each game week starts with one or more random scenarios, that will affect your club and often require you to make tough choices. A local schoolboy might collect money for your club by selling lemonade. Your stadium might host a talent show for local boy bands, resulting in a major loss of reputation. A local fast food joint might be interested in a sponsorship deal: will you rename your stadium to "Haggis Hall" in exchange for money and embarrassment?Get excited about your matches and go crazy with that late winning goal! In the match center, you can enjoy all your club's matches live, compressed into 50 seconds of exciting live commentary. If you're not interested, you can just skip the action by holding space. You can also grant your team temporary stat boosts by using 'attack boosts' or 'control boosts' live during matches, if you purchased them from the coaching center.Create dynasties, watch your youth players turn into club legends and eventually retire. With each save you'll be able to play up to 20 consecutive seasons.Customize! The game includes a Team Creator, which allows you to start the game with a self-made custom team.
