In the Masterleague Mode you can lead your own team from Division2 to "Champions League". And your teammembers develop. That means young player get better and the old ones get worse.
On the Playstation 3 there is a great online Competion Mode and for the Playstation 2 you can build a Community with your friends and meet up for playing against each other and the Community Mode logs all the results and you can track the statistics and find out who is the best. This works for 1on1s and 2on2s.
The only small minus is the graphical aspect. It looks real but it's not Fifa 2008.
