Thanks DM Osbon

I think im in love

I don't get the 'Live' bit.

Am I missing something really new?

Is it me or is the prospect of having fake teams put anyone else off?

There will also be one of each of the real players included in each game world:

"Like the Football Manager series of games, Football Manager Live uses the same highly regarded
match engine and the famous database of tens of thousand of real life footballers. Each real life

Wembley...there's only one Wayne Rooney!"

Only one I know of would be the manager mode in Fifa 09... haven't heard of any others.

back on topic - I've just pre-ordered FML... I'm in Fowler game world if any one else is thinking about playing when it's released.
