There will also be more playable leagues in the next version. Whilst there's been no confirmation yet of the much-missed 3D match engine, SI has stated that there'll be a genuinely updated feature list, including the ability to compete against friends over the network. The latest news from the Sports Interactive training camp only bolsters our hopes, confirming that the developer will take on board fans' comments for the Xmas sequel, Football Manager Handheld 2007.
Whilst we weren't completely blown away by the series' debut on PSP, Football Manager Handheld certainly put down a solid marker and showed more than enough to suggest that by next season it could be something special.
