Football Manager 2009: Not on Xbox 360 due to joypad

Buzz This

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.

    This coming from Microsoft, considering they made the xbox 360 ( Which is really a PC )!!! If you plug your keyboard into your usb slot on your xbox……… it already works!!!!!! As would i assume a mouse would. Not a excuse in my eyes.

    I can’t believe it’s not coming out on the 360. It would be like one of the biggest selling games. People would easy pay top dollar for it.I don’t get microsoft they create all these hi-tec things but can’t even do a football manager game DISGRACE
