Match Engine on a SDTV

cant edit my post above or delete it.

will try again.

On the PC version when you use split screen and have the 2d match engine running in half the screen.

Would this version of the pitch not be more suited to the 360 for standard tv users than the version of the pitch we have now?

It probably would be better, yes. It's something we can try out for next time.

tree: It's up to Microsoft to decide what peripherals are available on the system, and until they do there's not a lot we can do about it.

Jon1983uk - yes, it is.

The game was primarily developed on SDTV's though - we only switched to HD for the last couple of months.

Please do keep the feedback coming - it is being taken on board

Nice one, I really want a HDTV now.

There's little wrong with the match engine other than the slightly 'squashed' effect, but I've been playing for 3 dyas solid now and I got used to it a while ago.

To be honest I don't know what else to change, it'd be nice to have player stats and the pitch on the same screen, but that's not possible, so it's darn near perfect for normal TV's like mine.

It looms ok. Would love to play it on a HDTV though.

Bit blurry but i guessed it would be like that having played FM (and CM before that) since it's original release on a PC screen.

Only picked this up this morning but guess i'll get use to the look and controls in time.
