There are three Sports Interactive games that have been nominated - Football Manager 2009, Football Manager handheld 2009 and FM Live. You can vote on each of them in several categories, but the strongest representative of our community - Football Manager 2009 is fighting on three fronts: Online Game of The Year, PC Game of The Year and The Ultimate Game of The Year. Only games published between 22nd May 2008 and 2009 take part in this contest. This vote will select a narrow group of finalists on which you will vote again.

Surely Football Manager 2009 has the biggest chance of getting into the final in a category named PC Game of The Year in which SI football games advance to the final year after year. This time FM will compete with giants such as Brothers In Arms: Hells Highway, Call Of Duty 5: World At War, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, Fallout 3, Far Cry 2, FIFA 09, Grand Theft Auto IV, Need For Speed: Undercover or Pro Evolution Soccer 2009.

Another fact worth mentioning - Sports Interactive is fighting for the title of UK Developer of The Year and, another important issue, SEGA is nominated in the Publisher of The Year category.

Can Football Manager succeed in spite of many bugs in the first released game version? The vote ends on 22nd May so... let the vote begin!
