Football Manager 360

Psycho Ned · 13 Apr 2006 at 17:27

many people getting/got this? mines in the post atm so probably wont get it before Tuesday

Was thinking if we had enough interest we could make full use of its online capabilities and run an online league (apparently you can have up to 16 players and you dont have to complete it in 1 sitting!) not fully up to speed on how it works so dunno if you can have teams from more than 1 country/your own team etc or not.

Maybe someone else whos got it knows?

any game that makes it possible for sunderland to win the premier league should never be released imo

geordies all the way!

if i see it cheap in the near future id give it a chance

Got it today. Take a while to tell if it's any good or not.

Any leagues on the go - i'm in

Doesn't seem to be much interest for this one on here...

I've just ordered it, could be good for an online league

controls dont half take some getting used to, i just wish microsoft could have released a keyboad and mouse then this game would be a lot more enjoyable instead of naffing about for 5 mins trying to find a certian screen

i cant find any reviews for it either, i see the PC version gets good reviews but the only console manager game i liked was the original LMA but then i found CM and never went back

i havent played a manager game for a few years due to IMO bad CM games being released so i would be interested... but with this and elder scrolls i wont ever leave my house (unsure if i should put a happy smily or a sad one :confused:

)

Yip, would agree with that although I'm now starting to get the hang of it. Took me 10 minutes to find out how to save the game last night!

Agreed, I sold it to my mate anyway, so it's there if I want to borrow it. Does seem good, all upto date (very up-to-date) and it's lightning quick at loading (so much faster than the PC version).

Agree, the speed is first class. Processing takes no time at all

damn eto is on fire :eek:

36 goals in about 20 games :cool:

If its possible to get everton to win the league on this game,I may waste the £39.97 for nostalgia alone

That comes across as a fair and unbiased review to me...are the controls really that cumbersome?
put me off slightly though i'm still gonna get try it for meself

Soulja · 15 Apr 2006 at 10:32

the controls are awkward at first but you soon get used to them

indeed, the use of the bumper buttons is excellent
