Downloaded the demo last week, its got some additional features from the 08 game. You can play a half season and when you buy the game you can continue playing your season.
Jody Morris is probably the best player but Ando and James are fairly consistant. The strikers are a bit pish poor though, Holmes and Savo especially. Best bet is to get some loan players in sharpish especially a keeper.
On the whole its a great game so far. Here is the link to the demo download if anyone is interested.
