Football Manager Online

Football Manager Online was announced in July, but it was delayed until June. The news isn't surprising since FM is widely considered to be the series' most dominant annual release, despite two vastly different contenders, FIFA. Last week's news was that the next title in the series, FCS, is now being worked on by SI's North American studio, Beautiful Game Studios. This week, the developer revealed that it has got the same demo treatment as before. "There is a very long history in FM development, but in the 18 months since we announced last summer that the game was in development, we have become more excited by the progress that has been made on the game," said Miles Jacobson, head of SI's North American office. "We are incredibly excited to be partnering with Sports Interactive to develop the next iteration of the Football Manager franchise."

The demo version of the game is currently available for preorder at retailers and online from the following outlets.
