This game is going towards all soccer maniacs out there who wanna try their hand on managing a professional football club such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus or even lower league clubs such as Bath City. Never heard of the club before? Same here.

Nothing much has been changed, so I hope you can refer to my previous post on the earlier version. Sorry, I don’t have much time to spare today and I just started playing it. The link is as below:

If you think this game is easy too play by selecting the top flight clubs, think again! I started as Manchester United club’s manager and it begins with pre-season friendly matches which I won comfortably 1-0, 2-0 and 4-0. I lost out to Chelsea FC on penalty kicks and subsequently I lost the first 3 BPL matches to the newly promoted teams. I got frustrated and I restarted the game!

Guess what? I fair better this time around but the results were not entirely overwhelming with majority of wins, some draw and a few losses. I qualified through the next phase of European Champions League chalking out 4 wins out of 4. Great huh? Not really. I got kicked out by Chelsea FC on the League Cup and subsequent match was against Chelsea FC which I lost too. I got sacked immediately … so sad.

Why am I explaining the above experiences are that this game will be no walkover, although you have chosen a the rich and famous clubs. The game is well balance as you will notice Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool dropping points and even being humbled by other clubs. The treatment rooms will be busy with injured players. Star players will come knocking on your door asking for transfers or commenting your management style to the media and even the board will be giving comments if you overprotect your players.

The noticeable change so far is that there is a bookie styled odds where they will predict the outcome of the matches on the teams. It will also give comments such as Manchester United is predicted to win the match comfortably but the real outcome is a setback. Don’t fall for this anymore =.=.

So if you enjoy your football moments on games like FIFA or Pro Evolution series, why not try your hands on managing a club today in BPL, Seria A, La Liga and etc?
