Game Modes

Tournaments

To play some tournaments outside of Career mode go to the Play>New Tournament option. You can also create your own at Play>Custom Tournament. The real tournaments available to play here include the leagues and main cups from each of the leagues in the game (as can be seen in the Leagues, teams, players and stadiums listings and ratings section above). They don't include the cups that are one-off matches (e.g. F.A. Community Shield), nor continental competitions (e.g. Champions Cup), nor international tournaments (e.g. World Cup). These can only be played in Career mode, or the Women’s International Cup mode. The real life tournaments available to play in this section are:

You can also choose to create your own custom tournament. When creating a new tournament you can customise the following options:

• Type of tournament (league, knockout, group & knockout)
• Tournament Name
• Number of teams
• Whether you want the opposition teams auto filled or not
• Advanced settings (on/off)
  • Auto fill from (custom/leagues/international/all)
  • Team rating range (all/less than 2 stars/2-4 stars/4+ stars)
  • No. of subs on bench (5-7)
  • The style of trophy you want (Cup 1-5)
  • Rules for legs in each round, whether you play teams once or twice, plus a separate option for the final
  • Stadium to hold the final at

Once you’ve set up a tournament you can try and win it. You can sim matches too if you want. You can also save the tournament and come back to it at a later stage (Play>Load Tournament, or [[Customise]]>Load Tournament).

During the tournament use the statistics option in the menu to see the tournament standings of your team.
