New features include active reserve teams, Under 21 internationals, the ability to hire coaching/scouting staff, More transfer options such as apperance related fees and sell on clauses and the ability to design your own tactics and training systems.
The game it`s self is immediately accessable to players of the orignal games, though it will take some time to come to terms with the tactics in order to be successful, though I found it to be difficult at first to get into, but after tinkering with the tactics I was able to win pormoation to the premiership plus both domestic cups with Norwich City.
The game though is a vast improvement over the original and once Sports Interactive get a patch out to fix bugs in the database, the game could go on to be recognised as the best soccer managment game available.
