The manager sim and the pitch are one game

Club codes on the scoreboard instead of "You vs AI", and real player names and numbers on the HUD, updating as you switch. Westgate FC vs Brackfield United, for real.

ONEGAME

Big milestone: the management side and the 3D match are now talking to each other.

I load my fixture, Westgate FC vs Brackfield United, and there it is on the scoreboard: each club's three-letter code, not "You vs AI." Then I switch players mid-match and my actual squad shows up. George Vargas, name and number, right on the HUD. Switch again and the card changes to whoever I am driving now.

Pick a club in manager mode, walk onto the pitch, and it is yours. Your club on the scoreboard. Your players under your thumbs. The manager sim and the pitch are finally one game.

Next up: set your own starting eleven, so the line-up you pick in the hub is the line-up that walks out.
