The demo allows gamers to experience half of a football season as one of fourteen different teams which should be plenty of hands-on time to gather a purchasing opinion. Speaking of release (well, not really), <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/football-manager-2008"><em>Football Manager 2008</em></a> should have already been released in the land of Europe seeing that <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/01/11/football-manager-2008-manages-a-march-release/">March 28th</a> was the last time we heard news about the game's release. And please, before you try out the demo, wear one of your nicer ties ... okay?<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/03/31/european-xblm-treated-to-football-manager-demo/">European XBLM treated to Football Manager demo</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 31 Mar 2008 10:15:00 EST.

With the gold news, SEGA also confirmed that <em>Football Manager 2008</em> on the 360 will feature a few differences from last October's PC release including an updated roster, Xbox Live support and new multiplayer modes allowing for global tournaments.<br />
<br />
As you know, we here at X3F aren't usually known for our <strike>soccer</strike> football enthusiasm, but for whatever reason, <em>Football Manager 2008</em> has piqued our interest. We're thinking it's because of that candy cane inspired tie. Rock that tie! Rock it hard!<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/03/10/football-manager-2008-is-golden/">Football Manager 2008 is golden</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 10 Mar 2008 15:15:00 EST.

For those in the know, <em>Football Manager 2008</em> has already made a release to the PC last October and has since garnered a rather decent 86 <a href="http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/pc/footballmanager2008?q=football%20manager%202008">Metacritic</a> score. So, we suspect the 360 version to be just as entertaining and satisfying to <em>Football Manager</em> fans with an updated roster as well as complete Xbox Live support, which will allow gamers to host tournaments and participate in one-on-one managing matches.<br />
<br />
Get those ties in order, pressed and wrinkle free, because there's <strike>soccer</strike> (darnit!) football to manage on the 360 come March.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/01/11/football-manager-2008-manages-a-march-release/">Football Manager 2008 manages a March release</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 11 Jan 2008 16:15:00 EST.
