As with the previous entry in the series, players select a single team to develop through the course of a season, building points through the "Stars System" by performing feats such as using specific players to score, or scoring a hattrick, which are then expended to improve player characteristics such as pace, shot strength and tackling.
The "Stars Stakes" multiplayer mode allows players to challenge one another, putting up players as a forfeit if they lose.
Commentary for the PlayStation and Windows versions of the game is provided by Clive Tydesley and Andy Gray with Richard Keys as the studio host.. Licensed music was provided by Ministry of Sound.
