Football Management Scores a Goal for DS

By Jorge Ba-oh 05.08.2008 1

Fancy creating and unleashing your dream football squad on the DS? Management has finally come to Nintendo's portable.

Designed by Roger Womack (of Championship Manager, FA Premier League Manager and Football World Manager fame) and developed by Bradford-based Four Door Lemon, the game aims to bring traditional football management tactics to the handheld world.

Football Director comes to the DS as a ground-up project, taking control with the DS-stylus to forge "tactical and strategic depth to make it a serious mobile option for even the most dedicated hardcore football management gamer". Players select a team spanning around 3,800 ball-kicking folk from around the globe, then training your unit to success (or failure…)

  • Officially Football League license allows full use of relevant teams, statistics and player data.
  • Complete control over first team, youth team and backroom staff.
  • A vibrant international transfer market allowing the player to sign top players from across the globe.
  • Comprehensive statistical records allow the player to keep track of both team and individual player performances.
  • Tactical options give the player control over formations, playing style, defensive strategies and levels of aggression.
  • The realistic match simulation delivers all of the facts and figures needed to make substitutions or strategic changes as matches unfold.
  • Post-match analysis of all matches and a full results service.
    Intuitive, Nintendo DS stylus-driven interface allowing quick and easy access to all screens and data.
    • The release of Football Director plugs one of the very few gaps in the Nintendo DS' extraordinarily broad software roster... and it does it in some style. This game has been beautifully conceived and executed and, as a result, will appeal to anyone with an interest in football, from the casual armchair fan to the hardened management simulation aficionado looking for a mobile 'fix'.

    Management, cooking, cleaning, factory work. You wouldn't think much of such jobs, but make a game out of it and people line up to do it.
