About Judy

As WP's managing editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

An all-new 3D highlights package (PC only) is also included to allow the manager to view key moments in the game.

TCM's all new hi-res interface, player stat system and key game modes such as 'Create a Club' (PC only) further push the boundaries of football management simulation.
