PCG:Miles Jacobson is, in his own words, “a bit tired, actually.” It turns out the Sports Interactive boss was up until the small hours the previous night organising screenshots for the announcement of Football Manager 14, this year’s iteration of arguably gaming’s most famous simulation. With a promised 1000 improvements and a wealth of new features that offer much more scope for user-generated content, it sounds like a pretty substantial overhaul. So we rang him up to find out more, and ended up discussing pots, PR training and parallel universes.
Football Manager 2016 shifted 110,000 digital and physical units in its first week on sale in the UK.

Based on just its physical sales, Football Manager 2016 debuted in seventh place in the UK All Formats charts.
Football Manager 2016, developed by Sports Interactive, launched on PC on Friday, November 13th.
