Sega Europe and Sports Interactive have announced that the follow-up to their massively successful Football Manager series will be making its way to the PC and, surprisingly, the PSP. Football Manager 2006 will hit the PC and PSP this winter and is built to make the most of the PSP hardware.
“From the moment that we got our hands on our first PSP we knew that we were finally looking at a portable system that could do our game justice,” comments Miles Jacobson, Managing Director of Sports Interactive. “Football ManagerTM is well-known as being a game that people carry with them in their hearts and minds – pretty soon they’ll be able to carry it in their pockets too. “
“This has to be one of the most exciting games coming to PSP. I’m going to start getting the train into work so I can play it in the mornings!” commented Matt Woodley, Creative Director of SEGA.
