In addition, the in-game chat option means managers canexchange comments on the virtual touchline, whilst other aspiringmanagers can view their competitors and learn their tactics.
FM Live是一个全新的足球经理游戏，它让你可以从头开始新建一个俱乐部来和你的朋友/对手在线对抗，最终成为世界最佳俱乐部之一。这是对足球经理们能力的真正考验，它可以让你建立朋友间的小型联赛，参加球员竞标拍卖，以及参加全年全天举行的各种比赛。实时进行的比赛中，经理们可以通过观看2D比赛引擎和调整战术来控制球队。另外，游戏内的聊天系统意味着经理们可以交换对虚拟比赛的评论，其他经理也可以来查看竞争对手的战术等情况。

Awayfrom the stadium, users will need to control their club in a host ofdifferent ways. This ranges from the basics of choosing your club name,colours, badge and pitch size; right through to the nitty-gritty ofbalancing the finances and improving their squad by buying and sellingplayers using an auction style transfer system.
在场下，玩家需要在各方面管理他们的俱乐部。这包括选择自己球队的名字，颜色，队徽和球场大小；小心控制自己的财政状况，以及通过使用拍卖式的球员转会系统来买卖球员，从而提高球队水平。

Thegame is the brainchild of Sports Interactive co-founder, Oliver Collyerand is designed for a whole new audience of football gamers, as well asexisting Sports Interactive fans.

"With Football Manager Live, we're ripping up the script that says how online football management games should work" says Oliver Collyer.  "We're creating something that is fun, challenging and sociable."


"Imaginea cross between Football Manager, fantasy sports and auctions sites andyou are part of the way to understanding Football Manager Live"commented Miles Jacobson, Managing Director of Sports Interactive."It's great to be able to announce the game, and we can't wait to seethe reaction to the beta when it launches next month."

What is Football Manager Live?
        It'sa massively multiplayer football management game, using the FootballManager match engine. The main game has been written from the groundup, whilst it utilises some of the features from its older brother.
FM Live是什么？
     FM Live是一个大型多人足球经理在线游戏，它使用FM的比赛引擎。游戏内核被重写了一遍以实现某些FM里的特色。

Imagine a cross between Football Manager, fantasy sports and an auction room and you'll get the basic idea.
想象一个FM，在线体育游戏和拍卖室的集合体，你就知道FM Live会是什么样的。

Upto 1,000 managers can play against each other to try and be the No 1manager in their particular gameworld. There will be many gameworldsand the exact number of players in each will be subject to balancing -we'll be working on that during the first stage of the beta-testingprocess.
在每个联赛里，最多1000个玩家可以互相竞争来成为这个联赛中的第一教练。游戏会平均分配玩家到各个不同联赛中来平衡人数 －－我们会在beta版本中研究这个问题。

Who is making the game?
        Thegame is being led by Oliver Collyer, co-founder of Sports Interactive,who - having left the studio a few years ago to go travelling - cameback with the idea of making a mainstream, massively multiplayerfootball management game.
与游戏无关。

When will it be released?
游戏什么时候发布？（没回答）       

What do I need to play FML?
        Use of a PC or a Mac and an internet connection.
It's likely that we'll look at other platforms in the future.
系统要求？
     电脑或者Mac，网络连接。将来我们有可能考虑其他平台。


What type of internet connection and speed is recommended to enable the game to run smoothly?

        Anybroadband connection should be fine – we haven't tested the game onolder modem connections yet, but will do so during beta testing.
我需要什么样的网络才能保证游戏流畅运行？
     随便什么样的宽带应该都行 －我们还没用modem做过实验，不过beta测试的时候我们会试试的。

..>..>..>..>
Why has SI decided to make a separate massively multiplayer game?
        Thereare lots of reasons – initially it was because Oliver Collyer(co-founder of Sports Interactive) wanted to make the game, having gotback from travelling with a creative itch. As development hascontinued, we've looked into the area a lot and believe there to be abig hole in the market, which we intend to fill.
Ontop of this, there are many people who have played our games over theyears that have felt the hardcore nature of the series is too much forthem, or they simply didn't have the time to play the game anymore ascircumstances for them had changed. With Football Manager Live, peoplewill have the opportunity to play as often, or as little, as they want.
为什么SI决定新开发一个多人在线游戏？
        有很多原因 －－最早是因为SI创建者人之一Oliver Collyer旅行回来后想出了这个主意。 在开发过程中我们仔细研究了这个领域，发现这是一个很大的市场空白，所以我们打算占领这市场。
        更重要的是，有很多人玩过了我们的FM系列游戏，并且认为这个游戏的内涵对他们而言太深奥，或者他们只是没有足够的时间来玩游戏。而FML可以给玩家机会来自主选择，多玩少玩都可以。


How much will it cost to play?
        Wehave not finalised the business model yet. However, we see the game asa money-saving device – it is likely to cost the price of a few pintsper month to play, but because people will be staying in more often toplay the game they will save money in the long run!
收费情况如何？
      我们还没决定商业模型。不过我们会尽量给大家省钱（打死我也不信）。

What methods of payment will be available?
        Theplan is to accept every major credit and debit card, alongside a numberof other payment platforms for those that do not have cards.
怎么付帐？
    信用卡，以及其他各种方法给那些没有信用卡的人。

What languages will it be in?
        Initially,the game will only be available in English. Over the coming years itwill be released in as many languages as possible. It's not just abouttranslating the game itself, which is easy; it's also about addinglocal support for each language we add. We're being sensible and willbe trying to walk before we can run.
游戏是什么语言的？
        最初的游戏版本只有英语版。接下来几年内各种语言的版本会陆续发布。多语言版本并不是仅仅翻译游戏，它还包括给各个不同国家提供本地服务。

What happens when everyone wants to be one particular team, like Watford or Everton?
        No-one will be able to be Watford or Everton. You don't play as a set real-world team; you make your own team and pick a squad, much like a fantasy sports game.
如果很多人都想使用同一个俱乐部，比如Watford或者Everton，怎么办？
        谁都没办法使用Watford或者Everton。玩家不能使用现实中的球队，必须要创建自己的球队以及选择自己的球员，就像其他经理游戏一样。

How do you choose your initial squad?
        Allplayers in the database have wage demands and you have a set wagebudget at the start, so you pick your players according to that budget.The whole FML database is available to you when you start the game,although once a player joins a team in a gameworld they are no longeravailable to everyone else. In that way we can stop multiple teamshaving the same players.
初始阵容怎么决定？
       所有数据库内的球员都有薪水要求，而玩家一开始有薪水上限。所以玩家必须根据上限来选择球员。新开始游戏的时候整个FML数据库内的球员都可以选择，但是某一个玩家选定了某位球员后，其他人就不能再选择此球员了。这样我们可以解决一个球员为许多俱乐部效力的问题。

What happens when all the best players are taken up? Doesn't that mean new users joining a gameworld are disadvantaged?
        Notreally. Because there are so many players available in the database andusers start with relatively small wage budgets, it means that all thebest players can't be snapped up immediately. And while we don't wantto go into too many details now, we have an effective system in placeto ensure that there are still good players available for all.
好的球员都被选光了怎么办？新加入的玩家比老玩家亏很多吗？
       不是的。数据库内的球员非常多，玩家开始游戏的时候只有相当少的年薪上限，所以好球员不可能被一下子选光。我们也有一个特别的系统来保证新玩家依旧能选到好球员，但是我们现在不能公布太多的细节。

Is there a transfer system?
        Asmanager, you have the ability to buy and sell players as well as loanthem out to other teams. With all transfer auctions, the selling teamselects a minimum price they would accept for the player, along with aninstant-buy amount. They also select an end date for the auction andother teams are then free to make bids right up 'til the auction ends.

Withfree transfers and general wage auctions, teams bid for players and theone who offers them the most wages per day gets the players.

Withall transfer activity, you need to ensure that you remain within theconstraints of your club finances and beware of gazumping.
有转会系统吗？
       作为经理，你可以买卖以及租借球员。出价系统上，卖人球队选择底价，以及一个直接购买价格（类似解约金吧，出够这个价钱就不用拍卖了，直接买到手）。卖人球队还要选择拍卖截止日期，其他球队可以在截止日期前随意加价。
       对于自由转会和general wage auctions（这个不知道是什么），给日薪最高的球队就会得到这个球员。
       对于所有的转会活动，玩家都要关注自己俱乐部的财政状况，并且要小心欺诈。

How does the league table work with 1,000 teams in each gameworld?
        Inthe main gameworld rankings, it's not a case of three points for a win;you are awarded points for winning (or losing points for losing) basedon a lot of different factors including, but not limited to, theposition of the two teams, whether the game has been played home oraway and the size of the win. There are all sorts of clever bits inthere to ensure that teams that play hundreds of games a month don'tget a "levelling" advantage over those that play a couple of games aday, so it's possible for any team to do well, not just those that playthe most games.
有1000个球队的联赛积分榜该怎么算？
        在排名榜上，并不是赢球队伍得到3分这样的。每赢一场比赛你会得到一些积分（输掉比赛会丢掉积分），积分多少取决于两只球队的排名，主客场以及比赛重要程度等等。一些因素保证了那些一个月打几百场比赛的球队并不一定会比那些每天踢几场比赛的球队有优势，所以任何球队都可能有好排名，并不一定踢得越多排名越高。

Do all of the teams have to play one another?
        No, not at all. You can play friendlies against any team who happens to be online, or you can join or set up competitions.
所有球队只能一个一个交手吗？
       不是的。你可以和任何在线球队举行友谊赛，或者你可以加入或者创建杯赛/联赛。

How do competitions work?
        Forthe most part, competitions will be user generated. They are very easyto set up, with lots of parameters available. You can have cup orleague competitions, or a combination of the two, set how many pointsfor a win (those points are separate to actual rankings points) andalso define what rank of team can enter said competitions. There aredeadlines by when each match has to be played to ensure that thecompetitions don't go on for ever.

There may well be some official organised competitions inside the gameworld too, but if there are any, they will be optional.
比赛如何创建？
        大多数比赛都会是玩家创建的。创建过程很简单，也有很多选择。玩家可以创建杯赛/联赛，或者杯赛加联赛。设置赢一场得几分（这些分数和大联赛排名积分无关），并且可以选择能参加这些比赛的球队所需要的大联赛排名。这些比赛都有时间限制，来确保它们不会无限期进行下去。
        官方也有可能举办一些比赛，这些比赛是可选择的，参加与否都无所谓。

When can matches be played?
        24hours a day, seven days a week! With competitions, there are deadlinesto play the fixtures, but that doesn't mean you have to play them atthose times – as long as you've played them by the deadline, all isgood.
The only limit to when a match can be played is whether there are other users online in your gameworld at the same time as you.
比赛什么时候进行？
       每天24小时，每周7天，随时随地。玩家创立的比赛有截止日期，但这并不意味着你必须在这时候比赛－只要在截止日期之前踢完这场就行了。
       唯一的限制是：比赛进行时，另一个玩家必须和你同时在线。



What happens if I don't see my competition opponent online by the deadline for the match to be played?
        This is taken care of, but it's not something we want to announce publicly yet.
如果我的对手在截止日期前没上线，怎么办？
        这已经被列入考虑范围了，不过我们暂时不能公开解决办法。

pzhy

Can I challenge my friends to matches?
        Ifyou are in the same gameworld, then yes, you can. And if you aren't inthe same gameworld, it will be easy to move into another one, althoughyou'll need to pick your squad again.Once in the same gameworld, you can play against them day and night.
我能挑战我的朋友的球队吗？
       如果你们在同一个大联赛中，你可以挑战。如果你们不在同一个大联赛中，你可以很容易地转移到你朋友的联赛中去，只不过你必须从头选择你的阵容。一旦在同一个联赛中，你随时可以挑战他们。



When will the beta test start?
        It is due to start mid May and will initially be limited to 1,000 people.
Beta测试什么时候开始？
        五月中旬，人数上限1000人。

How can I take part in the beta test?

Therewill also be a few spaces on the beta test available as competitionprizes on a few websites, as well as a few UK-based magazines andnewspapers over the coming weeks.

我怎么才能参加测试？
        盯着www.footballmanagerlive.com，具体情况会在这里更新。
        一些网站也会分到一些测试名额。 这个测试只有1000个名额，游戏将要发布的时候很有可能会增加新名额，所以，继续盯着那网站吧。



Will I only be able to play FML on my home computer?
        No– the game will be easy to install on as many machines as you want.Even if you're on holiday and fancy a quick match, it'll be quick andeasy to install in an internet café and access your account in the game.
我只能在家里的电脑上玩FML吗？
       不 －－ 游戏可以在各种机器上安装。就算你在度假的时候突然想玩游戏，也可以很容易去一个网吧安装好游戏然后登陆。


What features of FM are incorporated into FML?
        Tacticsand the match engine are straight from Football Manager. Other featuresfrom Football Manager will be in Football Manager Live whereappropriate, but they are likely to be adapted specifically for thegame as it's a different game with a different feel better suited to amassively multiplayer game.
FML继承了FM的什么特色？
        战术和比赛引擎都是照搬的。其他特色会在适当的时候加入，不过它们有可能会被调整以适合多人游戏的需要。


Will there be any connectivity with Football Manager?
        Youwill be able to import tactics from Football Manager. There are otherareas we are looking into as well which may be importable.
它和其他FM游戏有什么共同的地方吗？
       你可以从FM中直接导入战术。我们也在研究其他可以直接导入的东西。

Does this game mean that current online modes will be dropped from other SI titles?
        No!FML is a separate game, and we will continue to improve the online playin the PC, Mac, Xbox 360 & PSP versions of the Football Managerseries.
这是不是意味着FM将会失去联机功能？
        不！FML是一个新游戏，我们也会继续改进FM系列的联机功能。

期待中文译本，暂时看不懂

百里笑

不知线上会是怎么一种模式？如果是一支球队只能一名玩家执教，那就好玩了。来晚的只能先从低级别队伍开始带了。
