Since this version was released some months after the PC version, it features updated stats to reflect changes in the leagues. Additionally, it features new camera angles for viewing the playing field and a new interface more intuitive for the consoles.
The gameplay is engaging and requires strategic thinking from the player. Managing a team involves making tough decisions such as which players to sign, how to train them, and when to make tactical changes during a match. The game's statistics-heavy nature means that players need to have a good understanding of football tactics to succeed.
