Football Manager Live updated

Version 1.2 goes live bringing with it new tweaks
Sports Interactive has updated its massively multiplayer online footy sim to version 1.2, which "changes the way you interact with the game and other managers in a big way."

According to SI, "Managers can now be added as 'friends' in the game, meaning you'll receive updates on their activities, be able to send messages to their homepages, and see information currently hidden to other managers, such as what skills they possess."

There has also been changes to the tactical system. "There's now a new tactics creator that allows you to build unique tactics in six easy steps. All options draw from a community driven 50-page piece of research called Tactical Theories and Frameworks.

"That may sound daunting, but the beauty of the Creator is that it condenses all the theory into a set of choices that will take you two minutes to go through! As if that wasn't enough, the entire tactics screen has been streamlined too, and is now much easier for managers both new and old to get to grips with."

As an original beta tester for the best part of a year before the game came out i didnt carry on and pay to play the release as i didnt feel it was actually ready and wasn't worth it.

They promised they would be continuously updating it, bringing in new features. Since then it has had a couple of big updates so it might be time to go back and check it out again to see if its actually worth paying for now.

Anyone here currently playing it? What do you think of it?

I too beta'd before the release and took it no further (couldn't justify the expense). Then they sent me an email saying they were looking for some old beta testers and thought I'd try my luck about a month ago and registered for the beta again.

Things HAVE changed since its release, though fundamentally it is the same game just improved (IMO) so if you weren't a fan before you might not be now either. If it interests you, give the beta a go again; what is the worst that could happen?
