Football Manager Live Voucher Code (20% Off)
June 15, 2009
With Father’s Day fast approaching, I’m sure they’ll be lots of people scurrying around trying to figure out what best to get their Dad – well the answer to that question might have become a lot easier if he likes football given there is now a Football Manager Live voucher code for 20% off a subscription, which is much better than the previous 5% Football Manager Live voucher.
Football Manager Live Voucher Code (5% off)
May 6, 2009
We’ve been big fans of the Football Manager (FM) games over the years and when Sports Interactive released their online Football Manager Live (FML) game we had to get signed up and get playing, how I wish they’d be a Football Manager Live voucher code back then!
That was 6 months ago and we’re still paying our monthly subscription and playing our football matches against all sorts of randomly named teams – so it certainly has some staying power for most of us!

I’ve been playing Football Manager Live on a semi-regular basis since the “Shearer Gameworld” went live in early December.
I’ve not yet quite made up my mind as to exactly what I think to it as yet as it’s still in the early stages and with a new Football Manager Live update v1.1 to go live in the coming week – I’m guessing that this will be a more refined version of the game now that Sports Interactive are now going to be distributing and promoting the game through the regular channels – thus far, it’s mainly been been promoted online and you could only get the game by subscribing and downloading the client.

November 25, 2008
On the day of release the first Football Manager 2009 update v9.1.0 was available for the game – how’s that for service from Sports Interactive?
Obviously, some people could view this as being a bugged game being sent out for release too early, but I’m pleased to see that the guys over at Sports Interactive have that much commitment to their franchise that they are always looking to fix bugs and improve it to make Football Manager the best football management game out there.
This year marks the first year that Football Manager will be available through Valve’s Steam system – their digital game distribution download system has been really successful since it was launched with Half Life 2 and it’s now probably the leading platform out there.

The Football Manager 2009 demo has now been released!
Therefore those of you who have been eager to see the changes and improvements (some of which are quite significant) from last year’s Football Manager 2008 are able to do so by downloading one of the two versions from the following links:

October 27, 2008
The Football Manager Live launch dates have been put back a little from the original projected dates at the end of October!
This is because of issues that have been found during the latest round of beta testing, specifically the recent Stress Test – Sports Interactive invited a bunch of players to test out the game on one gameworld a few weeks back to simulate what a live gameworld (server) would be like put under heavy (more than expected) load of players in the game.
After missing out on the beta during the last year or so, I was very pleased to be invited to have a chance at participating in this Football Manager Live stress test. It basically involved starting out as a new manager and playing the game as you would normally, I somehow stumbled around the game and found my way around and liked what I found so far in this Football Manager Live preview of things to come.

September 12, 2008
The Football Manager Live pre-order has now gone live…so to speak. You can now pre-order and reserve your space on one of the Football Manager Live servers to ensure that you will be able to play once the game is released out of beta.
Sports Interactive have announced some more information as to how the game will be played. The surprising point for me is that you won’t have to actually pay for the game itself upfront in a box like you would with other online games.
Yes you pay a monthly subscription like other massively multiplayer online games such as World of Warcraft, but in this case you don’t need to pay for the initial game, just download the client off the website once you receive your code and you can play.

August 22, 2008
It’s been great to see so many people sign up to the challenge of the free fantasy football ‘Zath Premiership‘ so far, even before I’ve announced the prizes on offer – more on this in minute!
I just wanted to let everyone know that there is still time to sign up before the first points scoring week of the Zath Premiership which will actually be Game Week 2 of the overall game. The free fantasy football game itself started last week (Game Week 1), but I held off on starting our league as I wanted to do some further promotion, get a proper logo (hope you like it!), organise some prizes and ensure everyone had got signed up that had shown interest in it so far.

Zath: I recently announced the 7th season of the Zath Premiership – which is my own league that I run in conjunction with a free fantasy football website, based upon the results of the English Premier League. We’re now into the 4th year of the Zath Premiership that has been run through the official Fantasy Premier League website and I’m always pleased with the progress that is made year on year in terms of new features.
For instance, this year in the Zath Premiership there is the standard accumulation of points for players to aim for, but in addition, each week your team will “play” another team from the Zath Premiership, the team with the most points scores 3 points, the losing team score 0 and if it’s a draw, both teams will score 1. This is a great idea I think as it gives a cup like competition that has been present in previous years, but it takes place each week – I for one always got knocked out early on!
Anyway, if you haven’t already got signed up, then make sure you go shopping for players before the action kicks off or you’ll be playing catch-up! Here’s another of my fellow Game People’s thoughts on Fantasy Premiership Online, in this case the Perpetual Gamer: Dom Roberts

August 3, 2008
It’s almost 3 months since the Zath Premiership 07/08 finished, which means that it’ll soon be time for the 08/09 season of the Zath Premiership to begin!
The Zath Premiership is the fantasy football league that I run here on Zath, based upon the results of the English Premier League. Summer is moving along – I hope you’re all having a good summer by the way (regardless of the weather), but it’s time to start getting back to work! Well I say work, I mean thinking about who you’re going to have in your fantasy football team this season.
There’s now just two weeks to get your team (re)registered to be ready for the opening week and be ready to try and beat the current reigning Zath Premiership champions; ‘The Jinxed XI’ managed by Andrew Potter….or at least be able to gloat when you beat my team; Zath Rovers!
