Is it still worth playing?

Fans waited for this 2003 football management sim mostly because it was the first in its series with a graphical 2D match engine. It became the fastest selling PC game ever in the UK, yet players soon found it buggy and clearly unfinished, and its makers later said they had overreached, with the next game in the series described as what this one should have been. It arrived for Windows in March 2003 and for Mac in May, just before the studio and its publisher went separate ways. As a snapshot of the series at a turning point, it is still worth a look today.
