What is Creation Centre?
Create the players, teams, and tournaments (leagues) of your dreams using a web-based application at www.easportsfootball.com. You will have the ability to create a player and customize everything from his appearance and accessories to his attributes and behaviors. Teams can then be created using players you, or anyone else have created, can assign Formations, Tactics, and create Customized Kits for. Finally you can place teams created by yourself or anyone else into a Tournament (League) that can even be used in Career Mode! If you are not into creation but you just want to use other people creations, you can do that too! Just search on the web for your favourite players, teams, and tournaments and bookmark them for later download in the game.
