A new game mode called 'Captain Your Country' enables players to create themselves on the pitch and wear the shirt of their national team.

This game captures the look and feel of the journey from qualification to the finals with rain and mud that impact playing conditions, player ratings that change based on player performance, and a penalty shoot-out that re-creates the elation and agony of it as if you were on the pitch. Experience the thrill of scoring the goal that sends your country through to the next round and then choose how to celebrate it with all-new interactive user-controlled celebrations.
In my opinion the best Euro or world cup game so far. Lots of new features and better graphics means that this game is a must have for any football lover.
