The control system is immediately accessible. The presentation, though essentially just a series of text menus, is always clear. Just as the bespectacled Swede is likely to keep faith with the tried-and-tested Beckham, Owen and Campbell over fresher talents like Sean Wright Phillips and Marcus Bent, SI Games has harked back to the earlier incarnations of their management sim, putting aside the more involved elements to create a slick simulation.
