Yes, you’ll now take control of your own football club, taking them from kick-around minnows to Champion’s League titans.
Along the way, expect to promote your team to fans, upgrade your training facilities, grab new talent and sponsorship deals. You’ll work your way up the local leagues, whilst also entering regional and and international cup competitions.
Control in the middle of matches is limited – it all depends on your character’s stats – but you can choose to play through long passes, dribbling, or a mix of the two.
