Football Manager Goes MMO

[sqdlin]

Developed by Japan-based Sega, Football Manager catches players' eyes through its simulation mode of "club + tournament + football player". Its online version is co-developed by Sega and Korea-based KTH, and is going to kick off CBT & OBT this year.

Football Manager Online will introduce the world-class league matches of English Premier League and Spanish Premier League, as well as integrate different match systems including the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Cup, the FIFA Club World Cup and the World Cup. Football Manager has 6 million players around the world, which's just a guarantee of its online version's success. The new club financial system, management system, star player system, and transfer system in Football Manager Online are expected to make players able to experience a football simulation game most comprehensively. So far, KTH has gained Football Manager Online's publishing rights in Asia.

Great news. And I cant wait to play it.

And according to the news of mmosite(http://news.mmosite.com/content/2011-06 ... ns,1.shtml), other two famous pc games: Civilization and Heroes of Might and Magic have recently been adapted to online versions also.

Well I may or may not try it, but there is one inaccuracy in the quote sqdlin posted. Football Manager was not developed by Sega, it was originally developed by Sports Interactive as Championship Manager, then after a legal battle over the name, as Football Manager.

I've been a FM player since CM 03/04. Then I've played each one of FM series. I'm really curious how could FM be made as MMOG. For example, is there only one Steven Gerrard in a world or many? I'm a Liverpool fan, how could I get all the Liverpool players in my team? But I'll be waiting for the MMO.

Very good question lschneif, not that I'd want Gerrard, or anyone else from Liverpoo :mischief:
