Features

Additionally, the match engine is tweaked (in common with each edition). The new role of wide centre-back is added, which emulates the tactical style of Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea F.C. There is a new staff meeting system, with nearly 4000 new dialogue options introduced[8] and the ability to explore a wider range of topics.
