The processor required is an Intel Pentium 4 Intel Core AMD Athlon 2.2GHz, and the game takes up 2 gigabytes of RAM and 3 Gigabytes of storage space on both Windows and Mac OS machines. The game requires Windows 8, 8.1 or 10 in 32 or 64 bit to function on a PC or Windows laptop. There is also a streamlined 'Touch' mode that simply focuses on transfers and tactical issues in managing and is a stand alone game in its own right which is available separately. Early purchasers can look forward to extra content bonuses like 'board override' (every managers dream), 'no firing mode' and three new tournaments to participate in the game 'Challenge' mode. Additional realism and (humor) comes from dealing with the scandal hungry sporting media, the fragile egos of unhappy superstar players and a board of directors all watching every move of the manager charged with guiding their first XI to glory.

Added realism is offered via the 3D game engine which allows the coach to watch the game 'live'. Like real life, managers exercise complete tactical control, pre match and half time team-talk and in game dugout instruction.

As manager, the gamer assumes total control over transfer policies and team selection and rotation.
