Posted by Staff
Ever fancied playing up front for your favourite football team? Pulling on the England shirt in World Cup Final? Getting 60 grand in the bank for one week's work? With Football Manager 2005 you can!

SEGA and Sports Interactive, the creators of Championship Manager series, are offering you the chance to feature as an actual player in the ultimate in PC football management, Football Manager 2005.

One of the things that sets this title apart from previous football management games, is the introduction of thumbnail pictures of all of the players and staff in the game. Naturally, as the game progresses and players retire, the database evolves and replaces the real players with fictional 'regenerated' players. SEGA and Sports Interactive are offering you the chance to be one of these 'regenerated' players.

To be a "Face in the Game" all you need to do is submit a digital photograph of yourself which will be used as the face of one these 'regenerated' players. In addition to getting your face in the game, you can give your name, age, favourite club and as many details as possible so that Sports Interactive can add depth to your new digital persona. To enter, visit www.sigames.com/faceinthegame now to ensure your chance to be a "Face in the Game."

"Right from the very beginning, we've encouraged our fans to get involved with the game and many of them have," says Miles Jacobson, Managing Director of Sports Interactive. "Now, all players of our games, and future players, have got the perfect way to get more involved with the game and be a part of it."

There are a few restrictions as to the style of photos which will be acceptable: the shots should not contain any team colours, for example. Also, as regenerated players are usually aged between 18 and 22, only photos which represent people within that age range will be used to depict players. All other photos supplied will be used to represent either coaches or physios.

Further information, including details of the size and composition of acceptable photos, is available from the Face in the Game website, at www.sigames.com/faceinthegame.
