Today Italian developer 'Geniaware' announced 'Lords of Football', a football lifestyle game set in a free roaming environment in development for the PC and next-gen consoles (whatever that means).

In Lords of Football you'll play the part of first team manager in a game of strategy, exploration and creativity.  Played in first person the game sees you planning and maintaining football club training sessions on a day-to-day basis.  On top of this you'll manage some of the more personal and social aspects of your players lives such as nights at the pub, which will affect your players' on-pitch performance.

You also have to balance trying to keep both press and players happy while tracking your players' lifestyle habits individually, dealing with the president's transfer market issues and lots more.  'Lords of Football' will simplify this by offering you revolutionary gameplay with many tools to facilitate deep customisation and simulate real life in and out of work.

There is also an advanced AI system that has varied and realistic character types conversing with your players on and off the pitch, something that will presumably also hold sway over your players' performance on the ball.  To make things even more interesting you'll have to manage your own relationships with the players on your team to keep them encouraged and hold their trust as a manager.

Claudio Giacopazzi, General Manager at Geniaware, said:

‘Lords of football is being developed to open up the football genre through innovative gameplay solutions. We aim to entertain a wide audience providing a new approach to the football video game in a way not seen before in a sports title’.
