Yes thats right i said it...run your self into a tight situation its the 89th minute and you desperately need a goal well have no fear just through your self mercelissly to the ground and reep all the rewards just like players of the modern era however do be warned that if the wiley referee doesn't believe your antics you will be booked as in reallife you've just gotta love it.

Set-Pieces

Set pieces have been refined as now you can set the playas you want to go up for corners and dangers situations so know you can send your Herculian defenders to rise highest and compete in aerial duels.However free kicks remain as hard as ever to get on target let alone score but i must say when you say that ball drift through the air and into the top corner the sense of satisfaction is indescribeable

Modes
