5.0 out of 5 stars The most addicting management game just gets better!, February 20, 2006

By	August Lamczyk "The pride and joy of Southern... (Springfield, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

The AI of this version of WSM 2006 is the biggest improvement compared to past versions. It is no longer a sure thing to dominate the league in 3 years. Instead injuries seem to be more costly and training more comprehensive and customized. Add to the fact that playing just one tactic over and over will not always give the best result like in times past. There is still the huge data base of world players to sign for your beloved team. Plus the half time and post game talks are nice to motivate your team. Put it all together and you will find yourself sucked into the black hole of soccer management for many an endless day.
