Traded in FM07 yesterday

Have never felt like getting rid of an SI product before. Shame.

Can I ask why?
I've only started getting into my game this week.
I've read about the bugs and all on here but so far so good for me.
What reasons did ya trade it in for?
I don't and never have had a pc version so i don't know what the big deal is with the pc versions sorry, i'm sure it's good but.

1. No product support from SI - not customisable (the recent download content that we've been offered is a step in the right direction, but only a baby one.)

2. A much less rewarding experience than the PC version.

3. Achievements that can't be unlocked.

4. No Xbox Live Community

Each to his/her own though. I hope you enjoy it.

5. You just need to take a look at the top of this forum to see that SI don't give a **** about the Xbox version. Still having the FM06 launch info up is a sick joke. And they have been made aware that we think that but have done nothing.

Then why don't you start a topic titled petition and ask people to sign it, warning SI if they don't get their act together then you'll buy Championship Manager or LMA Manager instead and boycott this series untill they give the 360 version the same care as they do with the pc version.

1. Done that
2. They don't care
3. xBox is an insignificant platform as far as their concerned and we are insignificant customers.

Come on Nickyh, its not THAT bad. It's still head and shoulders above any of the other footy managerment games for the 360 (I know I've played them!)

As for the save issue, SI have explained the ins and outs of it and i believe them when they say it's a lot harder to make the patch available (Microsoft certification! Boooo Hiss) for the 360 than it is for the PC.

And remember this version is only the second one released for the 360 and, in my humble opinion, is a pretty dam fine football sim.

Finally. Look on the bright side; you could own a PS3 and have absolutly nothing to play on!!

Sure - I've got a sense of perspective on this, honestly. I have high expectations of SI built up having played their games for 15 years +. I would never cross over to the dark side and play CM or LMA as I realise they are shitola.

I just hoped for a better gaming experience from FM. I probably would have kept it if I felt it was supported by the developer but for all the reasons given here and elsewhere in this forum I don't feel it has been.

It was a tough decision for me (whisper it, but FM07 was one of the big reasons why I got a 360!) and I don't take any pleasure in slagging SI off but on this, I feel really let down.

look guys, he has every right to trade the game in, whats the point of having a game you could get money for when you dont play it....

hes not saying its a crap game, he jsut doesnt see much reason to keep it, lets face it, there isnt muchy reason to play it, your better off playing FM on the pc your making your posts on these forum with even if it is slower

dream on guys, your waiting for a patch, a patch that has been mentioned once or twice, who has a clue if its even in existence, before you know it FM08 will be out and no word of that "supposed" patch,update demo or whatever they were promising

im sorry, but if there were really bothered about the issue, they would of got it sorted by now, its been over 6months since the game was out! 6months! and weve had one thread saying there gona do this and that, and then nothing since!
