finally an actual career mode! where you dont get just 1 team...for 1 season... and buying and selling players! this game looks really dynamic, almost like a fifa game? expecially with sponsorship deals, training etc. i just hope the online side of it is upgraded too, was awful trying to get a game unless you had friends who played it! also, with it "probably" being released at the end of this year, the current season will be over meaning the kits/players will be outdated :/ better be worth £50 this time
I'm not a gamer, but when I was a kid I craved an RL game and I genuinley think a good game is important for the profile of the game.

10 years isn't long enough IMO, 20-30 is what you'd need to turn a bunch of bottom dwellers from Championship 1 into World Club Champions, if you were trying to play realistically. Yes, it's an improvement on 1, but still could be better. Might be to do with save file size, that's all I can think of.
If so, then it looks, from the position of the sun relative to Barton Bridge, that the game is being played sometime near dawn, though in fact I'm not sure its possible for the sun to be in that place at all.
