Advantages: Great playability due to realism; will never tire or complete this game

Disadvantages: Graphics in 3D engine are not perfect

Again, Sports Interactive pull another best-seller out of the bag. Year after year they break records and produce the best football management game in the world.
But why? Put simply this game is so realistic. From the new 3D view, which although not as asthetically pleasing as watching Pro Evo, is just as realistic as the old 2D match engine to the News conferences where you get to act like a real manager does and engage in mind-games with other managers and the press before and after games, this game has it all. Over 40 playable leagues means this game has universal appeal and is replayable forever. You may have conquered England and Europe with Manchester United, but can you do it with AC Milan, Barcelona or even Ajax. Can you bring a conference or small team such as Accrington Stanley to Champions League glory.
In summary, the graphics 8/10, sound 7/10, longevity 10/10 and playability 10/10

Summary: An amazing game and the 3D engine in its first year is a welcome addition
