Speaking to Evo Gamer, Sports Interactive’s Miles Jacobson has confirmed that Football Manager Live is almost complete. Ish.

“We’re pretty close to finishing the first iteration now, as in the code that will be released,” he said. “The game will likely never be ‘finished’ because, like FM, there are loads of ideas for features, and we are taking a stance of ‘constant development,’ meaning that there will be new features and updates every few months for those that subscribe to the game, which will be part of the subscription.”

The MMO version of the nonsensically successful football management simulation has been in beta for many moons, so news the game is nearing a releasable form will be welcome to fans. Much more through the link, and more from Miles soon, hopefully.

According to this, there’s a demo for Sports Interactive’s Football Manager 2008 on Live now. The taster allows you to play half a season in 14 countries. If you like football, you’ll probably like this. The game came out in Europe last Friday.

Yours for $30, so you may as well try it if you haven’t already. The definitive soccer management game includes 5,000 teams from all over the world, so there’s bound to be something to whet your appetite. Assuming you like football, obviously.

Here. There are 3,000 to be grabbed, so if you fancy trying your hand at playing a football management simulation on the internet, there’s no better place to be. In all seriousness, we hate football, but SI’s games do stupidly well for a reason. Knock yourself out.

Miles Jacobson just sent word that the latest patch for Football Manager 2008′s been released, as announced on the Sports Interactive forum.

“As you are no doubt aware, it Valentine’s Day,” he said. “And, just in case you haven’t got any cards, we have a lovely Valentine’s day gift for you (with love). Of course, it’s the Football Manager 2008 update patch v8.0.2. The update includes all of the transfers from the January transfer window and the latest (and hopefully final) patch for Football Manager 2008, Worldwide Soccer Manager 2008 & Futbol Manager 2008.”

There’s versions for PC and Mac versions of all three games. Go get.
