More experienced football managers will appreciate the new and improved tactics system which allows for quicker and deeper involvement.
A new and highly polished pitch screen allows the manager to quickly set instructions for individual players as well as for the entire team's playing style - including increased control of set-pieces and offensive/defensive player movement orders.
Further enhancements include new cup draws, a special status for Derby matches, a revised player level system, a new experience system, a new player search system and a World Cup tournament that can be played separately to the main game. In addition, the transfer period has been changed to mirror the real life football calendar.
