FIFA 06 Unlockables and Glitches (PC)

Developers of the FIFA series made a complete overhaul of the game's engine for the 2006 installment of the game, asserting it has dramatically increased the control of play, having rewritten more than half the programming code for the game. In addition to a renovation of the game play engine which discards the "Off the ball" system, developers boast a significantly more involved career mode and the introduction of "team chemistry" which will determine how well teams play together. This installment will break with a long tradition of commentating from John Motson and (more recently) Ally McCoist, replaced by ITV's Clive Tyldesley and Sky pundit Andy Gray (who has already worked in the series as guest commentator in FIFA 98).

Career mode in FIFA 06 is now a 15-year journey as the manager of a club of the player's choice. The player starts by filling in basic details such as their name, date of birth and country. From here, the player gets to choose which team they would like to manage. However, only clubs with a 4-star rating or below are selectable. In a new addition to the game players now must manage a budget to build the club around. The budget can be spent on player contracts, upgrading staff and coaches at the club and transfer budgets. To increase the budget players receive money through gate ticket sales (from playing games) and through sponsorship money.

Glitches

Play as a 5-star team in Manager Mode from the start
If you go to the Team Squads menu and put the worst possible starting eleven in as the first eleven, you will be able to select that team in manager mode as they will no longer be rated as 5-stars. You then save your Manager Mode game, go back to the squads menu, put the original eleven back in and load up your Manager Mode game once again.

Here's a superb free kick goal, signed Wayne Rooney, shown in the video below:
