The game is broken on Linux on many levels. First, the game didn't even start because it couldn't find its own executable file. I had to find it myself and rename it. Then, The game kept getting stuck during the tutorial. First while building the east stadium, then while selecting my star player, then training. I had to force quit the game each time to be able to move forward. I decided to "SKIP" the tutorial but it somehow returned to it and got stuck again. I wasn't able to click anything. The arrow and highlighted parts where I was supposed to click didn't do anything. I don't know if this is a Linux problem and I couldn't even see how the actually game play is like but I can't recommend the game in its current state.

This gives managers reasons to look beyond simple overall strength when assembling their starting lineup. A talented player may still be unsuitable for a particular tactical approach, while a seemingly less impressive footballer can become valuable when his characteristics complement the formation being used. Constructing a balanced squad consequently becomes one of the game's mo…
