About this deal

The same solid handheld principles apply to the iOS version, with the ability to 'manage' squad selection and tactics on a fairly superficial level if you wish and up to four active nations running at once (from a choice of 12).

You're telling me they could not add any new features or a change of skin, psp is more then capable of handling that. On the plus side, if you have multiple iOS devices, you can play the game on one and continue it on another using the same saved game. In certain situations you end up having to sell some of your best players because they don't fit into the pre-decided formations, and you can't select your own formation to mould around your team. Far from worrying about commutes and lunch breaks, SI boss Miles Jacobson jovially suggests another reason to celebrate the brand's transition to the Sony handheld: "It's the best game to play while having a crap," he says, giving us a disturbing mental image we didn't want to dwell on for long. Some people evidently love meddling with the training and match preparation and poring over their youth and reserve team prospects as much as others loathe these minutiae.Perhaps the most pertinent issue is how you translate a mouse-based control system to the PSP, and the answer is surprisingly simple. A small reduction in the number of stats, the removal of superfluous graphics like club badges, and the super-sharp quality of the widescreen PSP display makes it possible to still cram in tons of detailed information with very little in the way of compromise. As a result this cruel denial of our FM fix nags away, forever reminding us that a manager's work is never done.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. The match engine reverts back to Championship Manager of a few years ago with text updates during the match as opposed to the 2D view but sadly there are no crowd noises and therefore no atmosphere whatsoever. Sports Interactive have modified their genre defining football management game to purposely suit the PSP.Plenty of FM-era features make it into the mix, though, with full media involvement, including transfer rumours, accurate player histories, five speed-settings during matches, full tactical control, agent approaches and player unrest, injury diagnosis and feedback, staff feedback, data accurate to the January transfer window (barring loans, we're told) not to mention the same excellent transfer/contract negotiation system that we're all used to. Perhaps the title of this game should be Football Manager Abridged given that so many fun aspects of the game have been cutout to squeeze the game onto the PSP.

The game offers a lot of control and customization, allowing players to manage their teams exactly as they see fit. If you enjoy this free ROM on Emulator Games then you will also like similar titles NCAA Football 10 and Football Manager Handheld 2013.

Some are too scared; they've heard about the divorce cases, this way they can sneak it into the loo, play it at half-time, whatever.
