Sports Interactive

The British studio Sports Interactive was founded in 1994, and was acquired by SEGA in 2006, by which point it had become a global reference in sports management simulation. The studio is dedicated to creating incredibly addictive and ultra-realistic management simulations. Their biggest success, "Football Manager" (formerly "Championship Manager"), has been released every year (or almost) for decades. Players take on the role of manager and oversee a football club as a whole. Among Sports Interactive's other iconic creations is "Eastside Hockey Manager", a simulation dedicated to ice hockey. Sports Interactive has succeeded in giving sports simulation its due prestige by offering an unprecedented level of depth.
