        Licenses

        The game does not include any full leagues but 64 clubs from various European countries. 6 clubs are fully licensed, which are the 5 Italian Serie A clubs AC Milan, AS Roma, Juventus, Lazio and Parma and in addition Feyenoord from the Dutch Eredivisie. All other clubs have fictional team names, logos and jerseys. Also player names are fictional, but only if the player is part of an unlicensed national team. Noticeable cases are for example Dutch players (e.g. Von Mistelroum instead of Van Nistelrooy) and German players (e.g. Kalm instead of Kahn).
