We're going to be completely honest: we have no clue what these trailers are about. Sure, we know they are about FIFA Manager 11, a football (soccer) club management simulator, but that's about as much as we understand. It goes into such crazy detail on the new features, tweaks, and additions to the long-running management series that we are completely lost. However, we're sure that those players who are into the series will definitely get a lot of important info from these trailers. The first, above, talks about the Live Season feature. The three after the break talk about, respectively: the transfer market, the line-up and tactics screen, and the improvements to the online mode.

Yet another busy day is finally over. Tomorrow Activision reveals its quarterly financial numbers and on Friday we get a reveal of the next Battlefield game. And you never know what else is coming up in the wings:

• City of Heroes has released its new Origins Pack with 10 character auras and five caps for $9.99.
• Sony Online's free-to-play MMO Free Realms is now available on the Mac.
• Steam has a new Team Fortress 2 bug fix update.
• EA's full version of FIFA Manager 11 is now available to download and purchase from several sites like Steam and Impulse
• Steam has the Front Mission Evolved Wanzer Pack 2 with two "wanzers" available for download for $3.99.
• OnLive has added Dark Void and the Borderlands DLC content to the streaming PC game service

The playable demo for FIFA Manager 11 allows six months of play with the choice of England, France, Poland, Spain, or Germany. Save games from the demo may be compatible with the full game when it releases.

To minimize the file size, the demo has only generic jerseys, a limited number of stadiums, and no music, sound effects or commentators. Only the "Club Selection" play mode is available. In Online Mode, the World Cup Mode, the match prognosis and other full game elements are unavailable in addition to simulation and various 3D areas like the stadium editor or the team control feature.

Electronic Arts may not be too fond of PC versions of their retail sports games but there's one big exception:the world of soccer. The publisher continues to release PC ports of its FIFA-based games and today the company announced plans for FIFA Manager 11, the latest game in their sports management sim series.

Due for release sometime this fall, the new game is being made by the Germany-based developer Bright Future. This is the 10th annual installment of the series and EA Sports says it is "a leap forward in virtual football management" Among its many new features and improvements is an expanded version of its online mode which was first introduced in last year's version of the game.
