6. Transfer Deadline Day
If you're a football fan who likes to get into the game more than simply watching a match every week, spending hours in front of Sky Sports News and on the internet when the transfer window is open, you will know the appeal and horrors of transfer deadline day, where the footballing world goes mad, and more millions are spent on poor players with inflated valuations than at any other time during the windows. And now, in another move towards realism, as well as an attempt to channel some of that excitement into the game, SI Games have taken their lead from the merry-go-round and introduced Transfer Deadline Day as a new major feature of this year's game. It was a massive part of the modern game that wasn't brought into previous games, and though it wasn't necessarily a major miss, the introduction of the feature goes some way to achieving the total immersion and authenticity agenda SI Games invariably set out before release. Players will be able to opt in or out of the media experience of the day, with journalists posing specific questions, and a count-down clock appearing on the news page, to celebrate the occasion. The day will also last longer than most usual days- as it seems to in real life - allowing players more opportunity to sign Emile Heskey for £10m in the last few seconds, presumably. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYjT4ha_Z2Q&feature=share&list=UUMWpuQCtigHebT0oRtFy7Gw
