It's not really possible to have the difficulty level the exact same as they are different games using different match engines and tactics etc.

I thought the match engines were supposed to be the same but no 2D representation?
I guess with all the attributes that have had to be removed would mean different calculations...

The attributes are actually the same behind the scenes but some have been amalgamated for view (ie. pace and acceleration are combined and shown as 'pace' in the game).

The match engine is an evolution of one of our earlier (Non-2D) match engines - this is simply because the processing power on the PSP doesn't allow us to use the FM PC match engine .... well not unless you lot are happy waiting 20-30 seconds for each game to process*

*And for the 4 of you who are sitting there thinking, 'yeah that'd be fine actually' - sorry no we're not doing it just for you'
(and besides if you realistically think about it that would mean waiting up to 20-30 minutes on match days which is beyond most peoples endurance imho)

i agree that this version seems easier, but maybe a harder mode is one of the unlockables???
