SEGA and Sports Interactive have announced that Everton Football Club has signed an exclusive deal with Sports Interactive, developers of Football Manager, to give manager David Moyes and his coaches unrivalled access to its database of over 370,000 players and staff.
Everton will be able to instantly scan 20,000 active teams in more than 50 countries worldwide with immediate access to the largest scouting network in football – over 1,000 scouts from around the globe.
In the past Football Manager has accurately identified the future talents of current stars Wayne Rooney, Lionel Messi, Ashley Young and Jose Baxter.
“We’ve known for a while that teams use the game to research certain players, whether to buy or to check out the opposition, but this formal recognition by a premiership team is fantastic and we are sure it will prove a fruitful one for the Everton FC,” said Sports Interactive studio director Miles Jacobson.
Football Manager 2009 was released for PC and Mac on November 14 and you can read the VideoGamer.com verdict right here. Football Manager Handheld 2009 is also in stores now.
