Football Manager 2009 kicks off

November 14th release, but no home console version due to borked interface

Sega has confirmed that Sports Interactive’s Football Manager 2009 will be released on PC, Mac and PSP on November 14th – but there’s bad news for console owners with the confirmation that there’s no Xbox 360 version planned this year.

The details were revealed last night at a London press gathering, and through a number of videos the developer has posted on YouTube.

The reason cited for the lack of a home console conversion was the troubles Sports Interactive has had transferring the PC interface to the Xbox 360 joypad – something that anyone who has played the 360 version will understand.

The firm’s Miles Jacobson added that he is looking to titles such as Take 2’s Civilization: Revolution for guidance on how to best make use of the 360’s controller.

Console Versions

Console versions don't need a new control scheme - The mouse and cursor were always the best controls for the PC version, why can't the console versions just copy the point and click approach rather than trying to add unnessecary and clunky shortcuts to each button?
