this may seem a stupid question considering theres a link for the release date, but nothing mentions the xbox 360. is fm08 actually coming out on 360, and if so when?
thanks
only 10 leagues can be loaded at one time ( but i couldn't really load more on my laptop anyway), no editor and 360 controller instead of keyboard/mouse but apart from that pretty similar.
- FM 2008 isn't even confirmed yet for the 360. SI's complete reluctance to say anything about the subject (see the FM 2008 Release Date (PC) topic) suggests there's a good chance they're trying to ditch it completely.
- FM 2007 was very poorly supported. It took nine months to produce a patch for a critical bug which destroyed game saves. There has been no data update, nor will there be. SI are vague but blame "technical issues", which strangely have not affected any other 360 developers to my knowledge.
- FM Xbox cannot be customised in the same way as the PC version. You're stuck with what's in the box. On the PC you can download new skins, facepacks, backgrounds etc.
- FM Xbox is twice the price of the PC version, but in no way does it offer twice the value. The Xbox version is kinda useful if you don't own a PC, but if you do then there's no reason to opt for the Xbox version.
It's a shame, because in theory the multiplayer infrastucture is a great idea (like being able to take the team from your career game, and play against a team from a friend's career game in a one-off match), and the Xbox's matchmaking system SHOULD make multiplayer games a doddle, but if you scour through the locked topics of this long-abandoned forum then you will see that it never took off because of major problems (particularly around having to tweak NAT settings, which again I've never had to do for any other 360 title).
personally i was happy with the game but i agree the difference in price is unfair as you are paying more money for a game that has less than the pc version
