Taken from the SEGA FM2005 site

We thought they’d just tell us to bog off and leave them alone. And who could blame them during this critical development time in the run-up to release. Surprising, then, that when we suggested bombarding them with questions from keyed-up fans on a daily basis they came back and said, “yeah okay, sure”.

They sounded positively happy about it in fact.

So, not being ones to look a gift horse in the mouth, we’d like you to start sending us your questions before they see sense and change their minds...

Want the goss on customisable team tactics? Here’s your chance. Hankering for details on the impact of media? Come this way. Stalking Miles and have an urgent need to know what he had for breakfast? We’re here to oblige. Apart from that last bit.

Send one question at a time to [email protected] and we’ll pass the best ones on, collecting the answers together and bringing them to you right here every few days.

Don’t dally now, time’s a wastin’...

FM 2005 Packaging released
06/09/2004 @ 16:00:00


SEGA and the undoubted king of football management games, Sports interactive, have released their packaging for Football Manager 2005.

Work began on the box art for FM2005 back in May with a massively popular competition to help design the new game’s logo. The £10,000 prize on offer helped attract more than 6,000 entries, and the eventual winner – Stuart Luff from Sheffield, England – had his logo design adapted to fit in with SEGA Europe and SI’s brand look.

"It's great to be able to finally reveal the packaging for FM2005. We've been excited about this since we started development with the logo competition and we're pleased that we were able to work the winning entry into our brand look to create a pack that we all love,” said SI chief Miles Jacobson.

“The packaging reflects a new era for SI, and will be the look to be used for all of our packaging moving forward, whilst building on the heritage of the Football Manager brand."

SEGA’s Gary Knight added: "Football Manager 2005 will put Sports Interactive's fans into the management hot-seat like no other game can. We're delighted with our pack - we feel that it really tells fans exactly what they're getting - the chance to be a manager and to measure themselves against the best."

The cover isn't that good at all, just a normal cover...
If the game is half as good as the cover, I might have to keep playing 03/04...
