SEGA Europe Ltd and Sports Interactive have announced that Football Manager 2006 will be making its way onto the Xbox 360 in Spring 2006. The game will feature hundreds of divisions across 50 countries and 250,000 players and staff. The game will include up-to-date transfers, accurate to the end of the winter transfer window, and will keep its 2D match engine. Although not a game genre many would associate with next-gen consoles, both Sports Interactive and SEGA seem very pleased to be releasing the game on the Xbox 360.
“Finally a home console system is being released that can do Football Manager justice,” comments Miles Jacobson, Managing Director of Sports Interactive. “We promise the most in-depth console management experience ever!“
“It’s only fitting that the most powerful games console in the market has the most popular and powerful football management game,” commented Matt Woodley, Creative Director of SEGA “I’m particularly impressed by the way SI have re-designed the interface and controls to make it Xbox 360 perfect.“
Football Manager 2006 is due on PC/Mac in November 2005 with the Xbox 360 release expected around the same time as the PSP’s in the spring period.
