Some time ago, we had reported about Football Manager 2008 that was coming to the PC. Now Sega has announced a portable version of the game, Football Manager Handheld 2008 for the PSP. It will have a host of new features that will improve the portable management experience.
Football Manager Handheld 2008 Overview:
- While a new skin and lay-out makes it easier to navigate for players, the addition of a reserve squad doubles the amount of squad members players can use. The player can now also customize their tactics and share them with their friends. The match engine has been optimized as well, meaning the player will spend more time playing and less time waiting.
Miles Jacobson, Studio Director of Sports Interactive says, “Once again, Football Manager Handheld 2008 raises the bar for handheld management games, with the team squeezing in as many feature requests from the community as were possible. When we first started on the quest for a real pick up and play football management game, we didn’t even believe ourselves that the game would be able to have the depth that is does, at the same time as still being so much fun to play in bite size chunks, or on long journeys and holidays.”
Football Manager Handheld 2008 for PSP is being developed by Sports Interactive. The game is expected to be released in Christmas 2007.
