In what must be the surprise of the footballing season, Football Manager 2011 has been announced. The premier managment sim from Sports Interactive will be released for PC and Mac sometime before Christmas this year and boasts a boot-bag full of new features as introduced by Studio Director Miles Jacobson after the jump.
In the annual football battle on the consoles it has been a well established fact that the FIFA series has been trouncing Pro Evolution Soccer. On the PC it is another matter entirely, FIFA has the slightly better gameplay, but has been left with ageing PS2 graphics while PES has had the looks but lacked the gameplay. This year things are changing for FIFA.
I’m looking for a football pun…ah yes, a tale of two halves is the one I was looking for. It is a phrase that describes the PC version of FIFA 10 perfectly.
I’ll be honest from the off, I started the FIFA 10 demo expecting to be disappointed. For all the talk about how the series has drastically improved over the past couple of years I was skeptical of what the new version was going to be like. I played theFIFA 09 demo last year after getting caught up in the hype surrounding the game, it left a bad taste in my mouth and I quickly turned back to ProEvo. This year…
Football season is back, and that means we will be getting heaps of football games coming out this year even though they are labelled 2010! It is madness but it is that special kind of madness we are all used to. Apart from all the other chaps here who don’t seem to care in the slightest about the grand old sport.
