FM 2011 supports Twitter

By Wesley Yin-Poole Published 24 September, 2010

Plus, upload videos to YouTube.

Football Manager 2011 will allow gamers to publish achievements and goals to social networking sites such as Twitter, Sports Interactive's announced.

You can set manual or automatic updates of achievements to your Twitter account. Steam users can publish their achievements to a personal virtual manager's office on the Football Manager website.

You'll be able to upload videos from the match engine directly to YouTube, too.

There's also a new camera angle for the 3D match view. It's called "TV camera" because it moves and is more zoomed in. Like on telly.

FM 2011 is due out on PC and Mac on 5th November. The PSP version, Football Manager Handheld 2011, will release on the same day.

We had a chat with Sports Interactive boss Miles Jacobson in August to get the skinny on the latest in the series.

    The YouTube thing is handy though for things like forums in Goal of the Month contests. Twitter support is pointless though.

    Actually it's not pointless. It's free advertising for Sports Interactive. Yay!

  • el_pollo_diablo #9 2 years ago

    The YouTube thing isn't handy, it's just a way to add to the entire galaxy of utter shite that's on there now :)

  • Mkwone #10 2 years ago

    Luckily all my friends on twitter are sad like me anyway so they'll probably be interested in this.

  • Cherub007 #11 2 years ago

    At least this will mean my Twitter account actually has something on it. Usually I stare at the screen for ten minutes trying to think of something vaguely witty to say before turning the computer off in a huff at my utter lack of relevance, talent or insight.

    Yay! Something I don't care about is incorporating something else I couldn't care less about. Football manager games are for the trainspotters of gamerhood. What are the tweets going to say? "I just signed Beckham."? No you fucking didn't you just pretended to in a spreadsheet.

    I predict this will be groundbreaking stuff because it'll be the first time a tweet has a fucking echo.
