SEGA has launched a brand new Football Manager Handheld application in the App Store. The game, Football Manager Handheld 2014, allows iDevice owners to take control of a football (or "soccer") team, hire and fire players, partake in simulated matches, and work through season after season.
Football Manager Handheld 2014 is available for $9.99, and is optimized for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Though the game is updated year over year (with the first "handheld" title launching for Sony's PSP in 2006, and for iOS in 2010), this latest iteration of Football Manager Handheld brings more than just new stats for the 2013-14 season.
