Karlsruher and Wurzburger Kickers were both relegated from the 2. Bundesliga last season, but fans of those teams can still use their favourite players in game. Recently promoted Carl Zeiss Jena, SV Meppen and SpVgg Unterhaching will all be playable in this year's edition of the game, which comes out for Playstation 4, XBox One and PC in September.
