Beware before you buy this game if you like atmosphere and realism this is not for you, yes they have the licence for real teams ,players, managers etc, but you never really feel like your in charge of your team, constant messages from the chairman and repetative dialogue is very tiresome, the matches you play are as interesting as watching paint dry, Tranfer dealing is also unrealistic as you never get value for your players you sell, but when you buy you pay way over there value, its totally unfair , upgrades for areas of your club is to long winded and can take a season to complete, overall though the stats are accurate and players real but i never felt part of the game, football manager 2008 is out soon far superior to this so i would wait for that..
