By Football Manager 1888 announced by SEGA
Celebrating 125 years of the world's oldest league competition is Football Manager 1888, which has players manage one of 12 teams in the very first 1888/89 football season.
A different age means different challenges, though; there are no substitutions, no offside rule, and tackles didn't result in being sent off or penalties given. Players can also be drafted into the army within a moment's notice, or go into retirement from a nasty injury.
Football Manager 2013 gives players a windfall
If you play the football management game today, the board generously award you £500 million for new players and upgrading your stadium. Or do they?
It is April Fools Day and even Football Manager can't resist TRICKING ME. I will have my revenge. twitter.com/thisislewis/st…

It continues the franchise's flair for choice-driven gameplay and dialogue trees, while non-lethal boss fights are a headline feature. Truth be told, we wish this was real.
