I need your help.

Ive been a fan of the game since the very start.

I currently own the PSP version and the PC version.

Sadly Ive lost my PC game and was wondering if its worth my getting it for the 360 insted?

Its the 360 version as good as the PC one?

in my opinon no it isnt you will have to get used to all the differrent butons and thier functons[sp] and unless you have a HDTV it rubbish on normal tv and instead of the stats you get a spider diagram the controller is a little bit fiddley at first i have both pc and 360 versions the pc version is the best but that is just my opinon try rentening it out and see what you think first

Pros:

- Game speed is great
- XBox Live (chat with you mates while playing)
- XBox Live online mode (if it works)
- Slightly different news stories that make you smile
- Don't get the wife nagging me for being on her PC
- Achievements mean you experiment with other leagues and playing styles

Cons:

- Generally the same old same old
- With a normal TV the screen is cramped
- Pre Season seems to take longer than the PC

Overall: a slight :thup:

Yes, yes and yes!

Fantactic game.

The controls take a wee while to get used to but it's excellent.

IF you're unsure why don't you buy a copy from GAME then return it within the 10 days and get your cash back.

Hi i too want to know if i should get it. My concern is when looking for players, ie i want to sign GUARIN now do i haveto push up and down on joypad until i have spelt it or is there a keyboard that appears that you can spell it out with. On the PC version i have over 500 players on my shortlist so dont want to spend ages finding them.
Cheers

The online play isn't as detailed as the PC version, but then I've always believed CM/FM to be more popular as a solo pursuit anyway.

The achievements are a nice addition though, some are pretty hard to get too.

The speed is the major difference for me. It's a good 3 times faster than my PC version and I've not got a poor PC. On a normal TV the match engine is slightly 'cramped' (the pitch is bordered and players look bigger), but to be honest after playing it for the past 2 weeks then looking at my bro playing the PC version, the PC match engine now looks too small! lol

If you have a HDTV apparently the in-game resolution is much larger though and this prob is all but eliminated. Just like the control system, you get used to it all fairly quickly if you stick with it.

Overall it's an awesome game, one of the very best I've ever had the pleasure to play. There's a possible save game bug doing the rounds though at the mo, but if you save on multiple files I don't see it spoiling yer enjoyment.

So buy buy!

You go into 'search' and an option for keyboard appears and you type into that - very easy.
