Football Manager Live: 25-key giveaway this Friday! News

Sports Interactive and Eurogamers are teaming up to give away 25 beta keys for Football Manager Live, the former's exciting new massively-multiplayer football management game. Register now to be in with a shot.

We'll be giving away the keys on a first come, first served basis this Friday, 8th June, at 3pm sharp. The giveaway will be cross-promoted on Eurogamers and Sports Interactive's website, so keep your eyes on us for further information.

Football Manager Live is the highly-anticipated online management spin-off of SI's life-consuming Football Manager series for PC and Mac. You control a fictional team in an online league, with a scoring system that will likely scale up or down to suit the pursuits of casual and hardcore players alike.

You can read more about it in our extensive hands-on. The full game's due out in the UK next March, and the first stage of the beta-test - which the first 3pm-ers will be contributing to - will be a 1000-strong affair designed to put the game through its paces. Places are "rarer than rocking horse poo", according to SI's Miles Jacobson.

So, get your refresh keys polished up for Friday, and you might get to see what all the fuss is about. While all your friends stand around crying.
