requirements =Football Manager 2009 is a football manager simulation video game. It is due for release on PC, Mac and
Playstation Portable on 14 November 2008.New features
The new features and box art for the game were announced via a series of videos on 3 September 2008.
Sports Interactive studio director Miles Jacobson stated that it was likely that the game would make its debut onDVD : "it's looking likely that the game will need a DVD drive this year. Nothing confirmed as yet, but we were very close to using the full CD size last year, multiple CDs is not an option unfortunately, and I am 95% sure at this stage that we'll be too big for a CD.'The main new feature to the game is the 3D match engine. This can now be watched fullscreen, with a widescreen option available. Other features include being able to play as a female or male manager, improvements to the interaction between the manager and his assistant manager, improved mid-match team talks and tactics, training players to have preferred moves and transfer rumours. There will also be press conferences, where you can build up a rapport with the journalists, and the finance and transfer systems have been completely reworked. The game is set to feature more players than ever before, with over 350,000 in the database at the time of the game's announcement. Many of the new features were tested using a
Football Manager Live beta. The PC version has a skin similar to the one used inFootball Manager 2008 .The handheld version will include a 2D match engine for the first time, and the game will be shipped with two skins; a light and a dark alternative. More features will be announced in the upcoming weeks prior to release.
