Worldwide Soccer Manager 2009
The UK's loss of talented developers in the sports genre has been 'utterly huge' according to Miles Jacobson, the studio head of London-based Football Manager developer Sports Interactive.
In an exclusive interview with Develop, Jacobson explained that Canada's exemplary tax break rates – which peak at 40% of dev costs – was the reason why a number of British-born developers now work in cities such as Vancouver and Toronto.

Videogamer writes: "The day of Football Manager 2009's release and the authentication problems players experienced led to Sports Interactive studio director Miles Jacobson's "hardest and most disappointing" day of his career.
Players experienced a raft of issues when trying to authenticate Football Manager 2009 when it was released on November 14 last year. Not only was the font used for the authentication code displayed on the manual too small for some fans to make out, but SEGA-owned developer Sports Interactive suffered no less than three denial of service attacks on the day of release, one targeted directly at its phone lines."

Worldwide Soccer Manager 2009
The general manager of Beautiful Game Studios, the developer behind the Championship Manager series, has criticised rival Sports Interactive's online MMO-style version of Football Manager, FM Live, saying the game is too deep to be worth spending money on.
Speaking to VideoGamer.com last week during a demonstration of Championship Manager 09, due out this April, general manager Roy Meredith said: "I have played Football Manager Live and I don't really get why I'd spend money on it because it's too deep for me to want. I like Football Manager, I like playing it by myself. Football Manager Live is just a bit too time consuming for me, and I understand there will be a market for it but not me personally."

The latest Football Manager game may be taking the MMO route, but FM Live won't be following the "standard" MMO model when it comes to adding new features. In a recent interview with CVG, Sports Interactive studio director Miles Jacobson said that, despite five years of hard work developing the game, there'll be no rest for his staff following its retail release later this month.» Read More

Shacknews writes: "Following in the unfortunate footsteps of World of Goo, developer Beautiful Game Studios' claims that its Championship Manager series of PC soccer simulators is the victim of a 90% piracy rate.
"That's not just a number in the air, we can measure it and we know that there are a huge amount of pirated copies," said Beautiful GM Roy Meredith.
World of Goo co-creator Ron Carmel recently stated that his game was suffering from a 90% piracy rate--though Carmel later lowered the estimated figure to a still-staggering 82%."

Maxconsole reports: "Talk about reviewer discrepancies. IGN US has posted up a review on Football Manager 2008 and awarded it a pathetically low score of 2/10, while IGN UK has awarded the same game a 9.1/10. Amusingly, the US reviewer seems to have no clue that Football Manager is a management simulation and concludes his review by stating "I couldn't imagine why anybody would prefer Worldwide Soccer Manager to FIFA 09 or Pro Evolution Soccer 2009." Err, hello, you have to compare LIKE for LIKE, the reviewer seems to think that Football Manager is actually supposed to be a soccer simulation, blasting it for its lack of "traditional gameplay to speak of."» Read More

From OXCGN:
"In a football and gaming first Everton FC has signed an exclusive deal with Sports Interactive, developers of the football management videogame Football Manager, to give manager David Moyes and his coaches unrivalled access to its database of over 370,000 players and staff.

Nidzumi writes: With all the problems that DRM has caused over the last few years it's a real wonder why companies even incorporate it into their games. Recently Spore was the debatable topic due to it's ludicrous DRM issues were you would have to phone up to activate your game. Speaking of EA they also have a download limit with their EA Download Manager which makes no sense when you consider how often windows has to be re-installed or formatted....» Read More

Videogamer writes: "There will be no console version of Football Manager 2009 because the control system on last year's 360 game "was crap", Sports Interactive MD Miles Jacobson has revealed.
Speaking during the game's unveiling in London last night, Jacobson said that the team may one day return the series to consoles, taking inspiration from 2K Games' critically acclaimed console strategy game Civilization Revolution.
He said: "We thought we'd improved a lot last year. It was still too hard to use. So we decided to have at least a year off on the 360 this year. The good news is that there's been one game that was similar to us on the PC that's come out and really nailed a good control system for quite a complicated system, which was Civilization Revolution. So we'll probably look at it again in the future. But we really wanted to concentrate on the 3D engine this year and getting that nailed and the other improvements that have gone in rather than thinking about the consoles this year."
