Is set to be released in Sept. I haven't heard alot about it yet but if you have played any of the other two it shouldn't be that bad. I like for the simple fact that it gives you lots of choices when it comes to expanding your ground. Something I wish Champ man did more of.

Oh it also has a 3d match engine so you can watch the game instead of just reading text.

Hopefully the match engine will offer more realistic and varying play. Sick of seeing 90% of the goals scored tipped by the 'keeper and barely falling into the goal.
Also hate seeing the players dribble 5 yards away from the goal and NOT shoot the ball....

I agree is was pretty buggy. The passes back and forth in the midfield is very fustrating as well.

Default I have the version from 99

I loved it, the player ratings made it easier to grasp than CM, IMO. I loved putting money into the stadium and all that, really buggy though in regards to promotions. Never got anymore money to buy players so I had a d2 team playing in the premiership (only reason is becuase i got lucky w/ transfers and loans) and I got smoked in the top flight becuase I still only had like 400,000 to spend on players. Like all EA games they're pretty, if only they could get more into the hardcore gamer stuff.

No MLS, pretty much all of the other leagues though.

I know this is a game that most gamers who play on a console would consider to be for "computer geeks", but I wish they would come out with something like this for the Gamecube or PS2.
Sometimes it's more fun to play manager than to actually be in control of the team.

You just can't find a decent non-CM, non-SAAP game with MLS. ('course, those are the two best!)
