The 5th version of CREATE a CLUB though, is quite complicated. It's been highly marketing by Roberto Baggio in Japan, and allows personalization of the player's clubhouse, player's stadium, etc. Some are eye-candy, but most of them improve player conditions, and increase the player's interest in joining your club.

The difficulty is WAY HARDER than FM though, you start with a bunch of BAD players on your team, making a few signings that would take a few years game time. You will lose many games in the beginning, but like in Dafuge, you actually bring them up until you win the Asian Champion's League.

If FM combined CREATE a CLUB's 3d match engine and the J League database, FM could definitely become what was meant to become.

Every match would be enjoyable to watch!

i would love to be able to get Bare (from gamba osaka) but can't because the stupid J-League isn't in the game. Bare is a brazilian player and does anyone know if i get get him any other way?

If Konami have world-wide right than how does Eidos get to include the J-League in their game? Again if Eidos has found a way around this problem there is no reason for SI not to be able to either.

If SI can release a version of FM in Japan that includes the J-League than they should I am sure many people would be wiling to pay the extra cash and import it. I know I would.

From what I understand despite being a management game "Create A Club" sounds like a very differemt experience compared to FM. The J-League's abscence is really taking away from the realism of FM.

Let's gather more support for the J-League and figure out what's the deal with SI not including it in the game.

How have BGS implemented the J-League in CM though? I've not played, or even looked at the J-League in CM so I don't know myself. Is it in the correct format or is it in a made up format? Does it lack real players and teams? Is it illegally implemented, or have Eidos brokered a deal with Konami in order to include it?

Personally, I'd much rather have no J-League then a made up one.
