There were 12 Gameworlds in Football Manager Live. The stadia and fan base profile had little impact on gameplay and had no impact on the appearance of stadia during gameplay. This took money out of club finances and was generally received negatively by players. These included die hards, devoted, families, glory hunters and corporates, each offering their own characteristics such as wealth and atmosphere. In order to manage the inflationary economics of the game, players were required to construct a stadium to accommodate several different fan bases to the club. Managers could improve their skills over time in coaching, physiotherapy, finance, scouting and infrastructure to become more specialised or to suit their style of play. The game also added a role playing game-like skill training system for users. If a player could not meet the deadline, an AI "assistant manager" took over their team for that match. Matchmaking for league fixtures was done through a "resolve by" system in which users have to finish a game by a certain deadline instead of having to meet online at a specific time. Each FA had its own ladder system with a premier league and several lower leagues which were linked via promotion and relegation. Whilst Football Manager Live utilised a very similar database to that of Football Manager 2009 like its offline counterpart, aging players retired and younger players were randomly generated in their place within each game world, creating an increasingly fictional environment as seasons progress.Ĭlubs could choose a football association based on the number of matches the user wants to play ("Casual" FAs for casual players and "Xtreme" ones for more dedicated managers) and which play times were most convenient. Players were signed via a proxy bidding system similar to that of eBay with the player signing with the highest-bidding club. Users were assigned to a "Game World" of up to 1000 players and created their clubs and filled their squads with real players, similar to fantasy football.
The servers for the game shut down in May 2011.įootball Manager Live differed significantly from previous Football Manager titles, whilst keeping the same match engine and many of their fundamental concepts. Subscriptions could be purchased online using debit/credit cards, or PayPal to play on a regular basis, or through boxed copies, which were released in the United Kingdom on 23 January 2009. Whilst the game was subscription-based, both major and minor updates were provided within the subscription paid by users. Football Manager Live was a massively multiplayer online game (MMO) developed by Sports Interactive and released in November 2008 for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.
