I' m probably going to get skinned by my fellow managers but if you want this game to be a challenge, play against a mate or more. If you' re starting with one of the big guns and you know a bit about managing, you' ll find it fairly easy as only your own lack of experience and ineptitude will deny you from signing the best players available and thus gaining an upper hand over the Ai. This coming from a guy who not only loves the series but has played it for over 10 years. Other than this, enjoy it, it' s one **** of an experience.
HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST SUCH AN UNORTHODOX IDEA.
I'M JUST SPUTTERING RIGHT NOW IN SHOCK AND RAGE.
