I've never played with the national options before either, was just thinking of having a look at it this time around.
Please remember this is only a game where a large part of the experience we would have in real life isnt available/implemented.
As he's been referred to already, the current England manager has *most* of his expereince in areas that are not ingame
L1/2 Playing histoty
Conference coach
Prem Ass.Man
Prem Manager & National Team Coach
As a manager at club level, he has at best a mediocre history, 1 Cup win & no Titles
Yes we can simulate a level of playing experience, but its his 10 years of Coaching/Assistant experience that we can't.
I think i'll just make an objective decision based on the only part of the game that i can, my successes or lack thereof at club level over 10-15years.
I'd like to thank people for posting objectively as it has helped me make a decision about how i will play
my game.
