Scooby Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Would love to see this with an editor too so I can change some leagues... is there a possibility this may happen as PS3 can no doubt handle the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Not for FM09 anyway. It's only for PC/Mac & PSP this year. Maybe some time in the future though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich2086 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 i think football manager would be fantastic on ps3 the online capabilities of the ps3 would make the game really good also PC's are unreliable so when they break or get a bug you cant play fm where the ps3 would be built for the game not the other way round. iv been hoping they would make 09 on ps3 but not so hopefully next year PLEASE GUYS cant wait for 09 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 FM would be crap on the PS3, just like it was on the 360. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanPetrov Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 i think even if it was out on ps3 i wouldn't play it on it, Its a pc game in my eyes It would be great on the PS3 with keyboard support enabled imo. Online games should be so much easier to setup and hopefully be more responsive. I also think it would be better, if using the controller, you still had a cursor and the game worked exactly as it does for the PC. 'L2/R2' could be used for backwards/forwards. 'X/Square' etc could be used as shortcuts, continue game, etc (instead of them being displayed on-screen like the xbox) 'Start' could be used for a shortcut to preferences Essentially the game would be the same as using a joypad to navigate the PC game, full database/legues included. SI have to get the console version to this level before releasing another one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutter345 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Or just plug your keyboard and mouse into the PS3 just the same as PC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonic Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Can't remember if it was a forum post, a podcast or an interview but I did read somewhere Miles saying they were unhappy with the 360 implementation, hence no consoles this year. They will be reviewing it and deciding if they can do FM justice on a console platform. If they can they'll do it, if not then it will not be on consoles for the foreseeable future.

stinger061 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Really not a big fan of FM or any strategy type game on consoles really. If you'd just end up plugging a mouse and keyboard in anyway then whats the point? May as well just play it on PC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanPetrov Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Or just plug your keyboard and mouse into the PS3 just the same as PC Games on the PS3 have to be made with keybaord support - so not as easy as you think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmurfDude Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I once bought either Fm or CM on the xbox, can't remember which it was. It just wasn't the same as playing on the PC On my PC I can have FM in windowed mode and play while I do course work or browse the internet or chat on MSN and listen to music. It's just more convenient Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Ter Posted October 15, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted October 15, 2008 I also think it would be better, if using the controller, you still had a cursor and the game worked exactly as it does for the PC. I think that would get very annoying very quickly and would be alien to a lot of regular console users 'X/Square' etc could be used as shortcuts, continue game, etc (instead of them being displayed on-screen like the xbox) X is always used on Playstation to select or confirm so it couldn't be used as a shortcut. How would you select something? Also, circle is generally used as back / cancel so that would rule that out. Now we're running out of buttons!

My apologies Ter.. you got the gist of the idea though Rethink: How about you hold down L1 and the top option on the left menu is highlighted. You can then navigate down the menu with L1 held in and select what you wish. Anyhoo, a PS3 version would be great (if in full, glorious detail) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People on consoles like selecting things and pressing buttons. I just don't think trying to emulate the PC interface would be the best approach to take.

Guest Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 The only interest I'd have in a PS3 version would be to see what the game could get out of the Cell processor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harryseaess Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I think FM on the PS3 would be a great idea. I think it would most proberly improve online games (if they set up the online game in the same way that FIFA 09 has?) and it would allow people to play who prefer console's to a PC.

T4RG4 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 To do it justice (on 360 or PS3) you'd have to redesign the interface, from the ground up. I wouldnt underestimate the thinking time involved in doing so (1-2 people for a great many weeks) then you have the artwork, coding implmentation and QA (testing two radically different interfaces adds a bit more QA hassle too) and so on. You also have to keep in mind the distance from which some people will sit from their screens when using a console, be they looking at a monitor, HD screen or SD screen. If you take account of the latter (and you'd need to for maximum market reach), you cant have fantastic detail. Try playing FM on an old TV and sit 3-5metres away, you wont be able to read naff all let alone see the arrows and buttons I guess you could support multiple resolutions, but wild extremes cause GUI design headaches. It might work fantasically well at a high res/player close to screen but then be awful for Mr Smith who sits miles from his black and white 15'' portable (TV).

someguy Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Maybe its just me, but doesn't FM just seem like a PC/Mac game, fall stop. I don't want to play it on a console. Its not that type of game. Play Fifa or whatever against your mates on your console. FM is a Pc game!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T4RG4 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Agree, to a certain extent. SI probably know more than any of us, if it'd sold well on console last time out they'd probably be making another one. It doesnt really have the presentation (we all know it doesnt have the right GUI) for console... I think it could work though. Some people just dont have PC's at home, or if they do they are very old and/or stuck in an office/old room which isnt suitable for long gaming sessions.

bigdaddydave Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 The PS3 processor could handle FM well, sadly the machine only has 256mb of memory IIRC. So putting together a huge PC-like version would be impossible. I love the PSP version though and would love to see a version based on this on the PS3.

Wee Aja Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I can't imagine FM on any console. When you try and port FM to console there is a feeling of "Lost in translation". FM is a PC/Mac game through and through. Professionalism: 18 Ambition: 20 Adaptability: 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
