Key Features:

UNPARALLELED CHOICE & DEPTH:

PSV? Italy? Accrington Stanley? With more than playable 5,000 teams from over 50 countries to work with, youll have more choice than ever. Each player boasts more than 100 attributes, including "preferred moves" that have star players flaunting the skills that made them famous. Sports Interactive has had a 2,500-strong global research team massing stats on a quarter of a million players and staff - no footy management game has ever been so complete.

TOTAL TACTICAL CONTROL:

Heard of total football? Well this is total control. Sports Interactive have ramped up the scope of on-pitch management further than ever before, putting you in complete control of your teams creative freedom, width and tempo.

nOrmalbOi SG

Laughing

gasband SG

where can buy pirated one? Mr. Green

kopiosatu SG

3-4-3 with FM2005? Maybe I should try it... but my diamond is so typical English 4-4-2, I feel so at home with it.

3-4-3 sounds like a forbidden fruit to me Laughing

kopiosatu SG

but clicking that results in a sudden disappearance of club funds...

auditors never knew where it went to Laughing

kopiosatu SG

any pirated game shop.

Inzaghi SG

nope.haven played tat game yet..i played 3-4-3 in CM4, works well for me..of cos i reverted to 4-4-2 when i play at highbury n stamford bridge lar..i rem once played 3-4-3 in anfield, won 4 nil!!..but tat's a freak game.. Laughing

kopiosatu SG

in this game, so far 4-4-2 has yielded the better results... its not easy leh...

but i don't know if i should venture into the european style of play with my bolton.

5-3-2, 2 wing backs running all the way up, short passing, narrow width, slow tempo. Very tempted, but bolton isn't that technically gifted to play possesion football... hmmm i think i'll go try it now, talking about it makes my hand itchy Laughing
