All teams in the game are licensed.

Manager Mode
Career Mode lasts 15 seasons and you can start with the club of your choice. Every team will have a different starting budget (eg: Arsenal will have a much higher starting budget than Accrington --their sponsor rewards are also different) so money should not be a problem. Board expectations however are much higher and they're more demanding. Players will also be called up for international duty throughout the season, when they are called up they won’t be available to play for your club team. International duty will also affect players morale and fatigue. For more information read the developer blog HERE

Tactics
Attacking:
Counter Attack:
Counter attacks start when the opposing team lose possession and are caught lacking in defence. The object of this tactic is to launch a swift and direct attack by moving the ball quickly to supporting team-mates who join the attack and pour forward in numbers. This tactic is most effective when you have a fast, skilful team at your disposal but be careful as one

Wing Play:
The Wing Play tactic is used when a team needs width in attack. Attackers will spread across the pitch and get some width in an effort to find open spaces to move the ball. The object is to stretch the defence and to create holes that can be penetrated by piercing passes or crosses. Look for the outside defenders and wingbacks to jump in and support with an

Box Overload:
The primary objective of this tactic is to call in as much support in the penalty box as possible. An overload system simply refers to any movement scheme that gives a numerical advantage in a particular part of the pitch. In this case the numerical advantage is called for in an attempt to flood the box when attacking.

3rd Man Release:
The concept behind this attacking tactic is to call a team-mate off the play (i.e. a third man other than the passer and receiver) to run in and support the play. The third man can then be used to become a pass target or decoy in the movement forward. So keep a look out for the third man making the darting run in this triangle tactic.

Defensive:
Offside Trap:
This is a fundamental defensive tactic that calls on defenders to intentionally move forward to try and trap an attacker who doesn't have the ball in an offside position. Be careful when using this tactic as all defenders have to be in sync and the timing has to be perfect!

Zonal:
Zonal defence allows defenders to stay between the ball and goal they are defending and are assigned a position relative to their team-mates. Think of it as marking space rather than a man. Each defender is responsible for an area rather than being shirt-tight to an attacker.

Pressing:
The object of this defensive tactic is to put immediate pressure on the attackers as soon as they are on the ball. Opposite of the zonal defence, this scheme requires defenders to stay in closing distance of the opposition and jump in to win the ball.
