I don't get your problem. They can patch it if required.

retired_txanya

Like they did with 07 :thup:

Your going to have to elaborate. I have not bought any of the Xbox releases.

I can't remember what the exact timescale was, but it took a very long time. I think a patch arrived after the PC release of FM08, but I might be wrong on that.

The delays were blamed on Microsoft.

As Miles said that was due to a problem with hard drives which ( I think) did not occur on the development xbox's, this year the hard drive isn't used.

It was released in November 2006, patched in August 2007.

will there ever be a ps3 version?

haha brilliant, FM live, yes that is correct, but as SI have said many times (yet i still dont belive it, but your not going to get them to admit it are you?) FM Live will no hinder any ONLINE development of FM PC's functions.....

yet somehow, they have no changed anything to the online side of FM PC for years, and i meen years, you could in CM0102 do exactly the same thing online as you can now, (ok the performace etc might be better now but thats irelavant)

games can now do cross platform online (shadowrun did online multiplayer on 360 and PC, Pro evo did with ps2 users and PC)

so what cant it be done with FM? It would be a huge addition to FM

There are now hundreds of thousands of people who play FM on there PC with a broadband connection, and i reckon people would use it



and as for patching, the savegame issue was present in FM2006 on 360 and only got fixed in august 2007,

and every year, si make a demo, which complys with all xbox live rules for demos, yet somehow amazingly it never gets put up, which i find so strange because of the hundreds of demos on xbox live allready, it makes no sense to me, and i think theres something else to it, as i cant see microsoft giving no explination and refusing to put the demo up

a demo would be great as it might get some more people to buy the game

the 360 game has so much potential, yet it fails because of a lack of effort to make it anything else that just a straight port of the PC version to make some extra money and not support it enough to make it a big success

retired_megatron

A ps3 version is possible, especially with being able to use keyboard and mouse, plus a harddrive in which you can install the game onto fully (like the PC version)

however, with not a high user install base like the 360 in the uk, and the struggles in developing on a unknown platform, it might take a while (possibly next year) untill you might get such a thing

but again untill they support FM on consoles, and dont have two or three men porting the pc version over, it will be nothing other than a afterthought,multiplatform release to make abit more money,rather than delivering a fantastic game that is suited to the pick up and play ways of console players

i might sound negative, and i dont meen to, but i just wish it could be different

retired_megatron

ps, i dont meen do the same online modes for this years release, im more meaning hte future, as it would be impossible to do such a thing now

Fm live is a fictional world anyway, FM PC is real players and real teams,comps etc, its a tottaly different game, and in theory shouldnt interfear with FM PC's online development, but they are hardly going to offer great game modes for free in a game you pay £25 a year,and shoot there own money spinner which you pay £5 a month are they?
