So what we expect? For sure one of the strong points is the match simulation view, for which the 3D match engine was borrowed from a popular FIFA series, thus making watching the match a real pleasure. Moreover, the training options underwent certain improvements, which allows us now to control players' development. Also the transfer market is be easier to monitor thanks to constant actualisation of players' value. What about the core of the game – clubs and staff? A total number of 52 leagues from 20 countries are be available, including thousands of players with their skills described by 42 attributes (to compare, there are only 36 in Football Manager). Thanks to licensing all the club and player names are real.

The world release date that – what may surprise some – coincides with the Polish one, is set to 2 November.
