Developed by Cavia, Soccer Life 2 is set in the European soccer world and lets players simulate a soccer career as either an original player of their creation or as a famous player. Once you've selected a player, or created your own in the game's player-creation room, you build up your player through training sessions, eventually taking part in simulated games. Over 5000 real players are featured in this FIFPro and JFA licensed product.

The sequel gives more control over a player's soccer career, selecting whether or not to have surgery following an injury, and also graphically designate the player's zone. As with the original, you also take full control over your player's private life off the field -- you can date girls, get married and have children. Soccer Life 2 adds the ability to manage restaurants, select apparel brands and even purchase race horses as a side businesses.
