Sports Interactive has announced details of a brand new massively multiplayer online game based on the best-selling PC soccer management game, Football Manager.
Football Manager Live will allow players to build a club from scratch and compete against friends and rivals.
The game will offer mini-leagues to play amongst friends, and allow gamers to bid in player auctions and compete in live matches 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Matches will take place in real-time with a range of tactical options for managers to control as they follow all the action via a 2D match engine. In addition, the in-game chat option will allow managers to exchange comments on the virtual touchline, whilst other aspiring managers can view their competitors and learn their tactics.
Away from the stadium, users will get to control their club in a host of different ways. This ranges from the basics of choosing the club name, colours, badge and pitch size; right through to the nitty-gritty of balancing the finances and improving their squad by buying and selling players using an auction style transfer system.
“With Football Manager Live, we're ripping up the script that says how online football management games should work," said Oliver Collyer. "We're creating something that is fun, challenging and sociable.”
“Imagine a cross between Football Manager, fantasy sports and auctions sites and you are part of the way to understanding Football Manager Live,” said Miles Jacobson, Managing Director of Sports Interactive. “It’s great to be able to announce the game, and we can’t wait to see the reaction to the beta when it launches next month.”
Football Manager Live is due for release spring 2008. |

God, the reply on sortitoutsi was so much different to here, they didn't particually like the idea. I like it, I'm excited about it. I like being able to create clubs, one of the reasons I fell in love with Total Club Manager 2005. I hate it now though lmao. Can't wait. |

I don't like the look of this to be honest, but at least they're still creative enough to think of it... |

Nice article guys, I am currently a moderator in gw 3 and also work for SI. I love FML its a great game and still in beta as you well know but it is making leaps and bounds every week in its progession. It takes a while to get into but once you are used to the layout of the game and the way it works then you will be delighted with it. My main concern is that too many people log in first time and don't really give it a try then quit out believing it to be rubbish, this is not the case, remember it is beta at the moment so people who play it currently are not experiencing the whole experience. So basically guys this game I firmly believe is going to be great. |
