New features include: Half-time Team Talks to boost the morale of your players. In-game tutorial for the first time in the series. New injury module. One-on-one interaction with unhappy players. Manager contracts. Touchline commands shouted during the game. Height and weight statistics for players. Referee profiles to see who's harsh and who's not. Instant replays.
