| Football Manager MMO announced
A massively multiplayer version of Football Manager has been confirmed by Sports Interactive, and will be released on the PC and Mac, though not for a while, as the developer have confirmed the title will not be out in March 2008. While release is along way off, SI are plotting a beta test of the MMO footie manager game which will begin next month. Oh, and the game's called Football Manager Live. Creating a custom team, FM Live will see you locking managerial horns with up to 1000 other gamers on each server. "Imagine a cross between Football Manager, fantasy sports and auctions sites - and you are part of the way to understanding Football Manager Live," enthused SI boss Miles Jacobson. "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." Players joining the game will either be assigned an automatically picked squad, or select your own with a 100K per week wage budget.
