Football Manager 2009: Not on Xbox 360 due to joypad
You would never think a game could be too complex for the Xbox 360 but work fine on the Sony PSP, but there is one.
Today we hear that Sports Interactive game developers have said that Microsoft’s next-generation games console will not be getting the latest FM 2009 because of “troubles encountered transferring the complex PC interface to the system’s joypad”.
On November 14, Football Manager 2009 will become available on the Sony PSP, Apple Mac and PC. This was confirmed at a London press event last night. This is strange considering games like Take Two’s Civilization: Revolution does just fine on the 360.

The fact that FM 2009 won’t be released on the XBOX 360 is a massive disapointment, I have been solidly stuck into FM 2006 for the last 3 years and when I heard about the new watchable games and updated gaming options I was set on buying it!
I guess I’ll have to make do with PES or FIFA, think Sports Interactive have really dropped the ball on this one and hope future versions are brought out on more formats!
