Oh yeah! Got my copy today and I must say the new features really work well!
The team talk is very effective, I was 2-0 up and it gave me the choice to say "Dont get too complacent" which really made my team defend well while also trying to get in more oppotunities for Henry and Reyes.
Theres quite a few other features like the 'Manager Snapshot' which you can view by clicking on your manager name. It has lots of info on one screen, everything you need to know like your next opponent, league position, transfer budget etc.
This game has so much depth it's unbelievable.
Go buy it.

Gah! Robinson out for a month. Davids and King are also injured.

Just sold A.Cole and just as I was going to sign Dede Schalke came along and snatched him from me.
Now I desperately need a Left back and it's 2 days until the transfer window closes. :(
GALLAS!

Sounds about right actually.
Well I got Norwich into Prem and survived first season. About to start my second. Got hold of a few players on the cheap with some decent stats and they're doing really well. Nicky Butt and some Italian defender are two of them.
John Oster had a great debut. Two yellows in 15 mins and got the flu afterwards.

Man, League 2 management is tough....
14K transfer budget, and for some reason Halifax aren't in it - and I can't figure out how to sign "greyed out" players. Grrr.
So far: 1 win, 1 draw and 1 lose.

How does Ashley Cole perform?
I thought his stats looked a little underrated. For me, he's one of the best left-backs in the world now.

Wouldn't Halifax be in the Conference League?

Thanks for the links Mav/Mozzy.
Yeah, Ashley Cole is well under rated...why the hell did they do that?

Maybe it's because he's so young.
With the right training, his stats might shoot up.
