    Football Manager Live is a wonderful and addictive game and a must have for any armchair manager. The depth of the gameplay is still unrivaled and any little niggles and annoyances the game contains are small fry compared to the successes the game has achieved.

    It's Football Manager, but online on a vast scale. You can't beat playing against human managed teams.

Pity - the idea was better than the execution.… Expand
