Pegman Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Hey guys.... As a regular player of the great Football Manager series I was wondering if there are any plans to branch out into other sports, ie - Rugby. I think this would be a right little earner for SI...

arsenal_2111 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Firstly, this should be in the Off-Topic Forum. I very much doubt it will be made, TBH.

They already have. They produced a hockey management sim a while back. Dont know how successful it was though because i never tried it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falastur Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 SI produced a few (more American, granted) sports management games until recently, but has cancelled them all to (I believe) focus on football. So I doubt we'll see a rugby manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

feedthegoat Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Here are some other games SI should consider:- Netball Manager Curling Manager 3 Day Eventing Manager Yes I am being sarcastic, but if I am honest I'd much prefer to see a decent Cricket management game, I know there has been one released but tbh I thought it was pretty poor, would also like to see a game revolving around F1 or maybe even a motor racing as a whole (poaching drivers from GP2 to drive in F1 and nurturing kids from karting into F1 stars, that would be cool).

Mike7077 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I'm sure there are followers of any sport who would love an FM-style game to be made for it. Therefore, I'm not surprised some people want a Rugby Manager. However, is the demand big enough for it to be worth doing? I doubt it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
