Default Im returning this tomorrow.

The controls have put me off. Very fustrating compared to the PC version, which were very easy to work your way through.

Picked this up for £15 cause I wanted something faster than my comp. Getting returned to gamestaion. =/

What are you finding difficult about it?

It can be a bit daunting at first but in some cases once you get used to it then it's actually faster at navigating around than the PC version.

Well it's been returned now, and I might give the 07 version a try.

The controls were pretty silly, more fustrating since I was used to the PC version of point and click.

I was also fustrated that Stats were spread across more than one screen rather than put together like on the Pc version.

Whever I tried to do a comparsion of players it always set it to David James.

But my Pc's getting old and I won't have the cash for a new one for at least another few months, so I mighr end up gettinng th 07 version for the 360.

It would have been worse trying to use a mouse pointer with the Xbox controller!

That's one drawback of the smaller screen space.

We're looking at improving on all of this stuff and have already made some positive changes.

I have to say Ter, I remember playing CM 01/02 on the original XBOX and I much prefered that control method (moving mouse pointer with control pad) to the 360 controls.

I found myself using the d-pad 70% of the time on the old 'X Box champs oddly enough, found the 'click' method less 'fiddly'. Used the analogue method for slightly faster scrolling.

That's always been my one critism of the PC versions of FM, some of the buttons are too small so it makes accuracy with the mouse very important.

The 'clicky' method of old feels slow but I think it's probably the best option.
