Why has SI decided to make a separate massively multiplayer game?
There are lots of reasons – initially it was because Oliver Collyer (co-founder of Sports Interactive) wanted to make the game, having got back from travelling with a creative itch. As development has continued, we’ve looked into the area a lot and believe there to be a big hole in the market, which we intend to fill. On top of this, there are many people who have played our games over the years that have felt the hardcore nature of the series is too much for them, or they simply didn’t have the time to play the game anymore as circumstances for them had changed. With Football Manager Live, people will have the opportunity to play as often, or as little, as they want.
