i got this game a couple of days ago and i think it is really good --- actually it has alot of potential ... now first of all it is no championship manager BUT for a console management game its pretty darn good !

couldn't agree more

why having the stadiums does add to the game appeal for a lot of people, it makes no difference at all to how the game plays
