Football Manger LIVE available to download now

Will be in stores from January 23.

Sports Interactive and SEGA Europe have announced that Football Manager LIVE for PC and Apple Macintosh is available now via digital download at www.footballmanagerlive.com and will be available in stores from January 23.

"Football Manager Live is a very different game to Football Manager - imagine, if you can, a cross between Football Manager, fantasy football, an auction website and some social networking, and you'll be just about there," said Miles Jacobson, Studio Director at Sports Interactive. "Football Manager Live is the best way to prove your football management prowess to the world, and with a new development model dubbed as "constant development", there will be new features being added to the game every few months, with a lot of these features being based directly on consumer feedback and what the people playing Football Manager Live want to see in the game."

Football Manager Live lets players create and manage their very own football club, choosing a team name, colours, badge, home ground and also deciding which players to sign from a database of over 330,000 real world footballers.

Football Manager Live operates on a subscription service, with the initial retail boxed copy retailing at £29.99 including a four month subscription to the game, with online subscriptions costing £22.99 to play the game for three months, £43.99 for six months and £72.99 for a full year.
