THE BUZZ: Sega has confirmed the official release date of their football management sim, Football Manager 2012.

One of the most addictive games on the PC will be getting its annual reboot October 21st, with an improved match engine, new negotiation options and a plethora of other enhancements, that are set to make this the most in-depth football management game to date. Miles Jacobson, Studio Director at Sports Interactive said:

“It’s another year of evolution, with some revolution thrown in for good measure so we’re pretty sure our dedicated communities, and hopefully lots of new people too, get to play and enjoy the game when it’s released later in the year.”

EGM’s TAKE: Be prepared to say goodbye to your social life and remember to gather supplies before October 21st.
