Sports Interactive & SEGA Europe have announced via a video on their
YouTube channel
that Football Manager 2009 for PC and Apple Macintosh will be released on November 14th.
Football Manager 2009 is set to feature a vast array of all new features including, for the first time ever, a full 3D view of the world famous Football Manager match engine. Football Manager Handheld 2009 for Sony PSP is also set for release on the same day and sees the debut of a 2D match engine for the handheld franchise.
The Football Manager match engine is being brought into full 3D with motion captured animations for each player, developed in conjunction with SEGA’s in-house studio, Sports R&D Division. You can now watch your matches in 3D from multiple camera angles, and can re-watch any part of the match by fast forwarding and rewinding the action using a new match time bar that flags the key moments in the game.
