Here's the announcement video for Football Manager 2009 for the PC, and Football Manager Handheld 2009 for the PSP, that was promised today.
The closing of multiplayer services can happen for a number of reasons. Sometimes there just aren’t enough people using a product to justify keeping it running while in others it could be down to complicated legal wrangling, like expiring licensing agreements, or even a desire to bring out a new installment.
One thing is clear though – many of these discontinued games simply don’t deserve to die, to be cut down in their prime leaving players without a viable alternative and waste all that time the audience invested in them. With that in mind, this article will count down the 12 games least deserving of being shut down, the ones that players the world over wished had kept going.
EDGE - Revisiting Football Manager has become a little Christmas ritual of mine, one which I look forward to (almost) as much as devouring a turkey luncheon or consuming life-threatening amounts of cheese. It is an indulgence I only allow myself over the festive season because playing Football Manager swallows such enormous swathes of time – time.
According to a forum post by an SI bunny, Sports Interactive has no plans for a PS Vita version of the massive selling Football Manager series. Despite doing great sales on the PSP (and still the current PSP No. 1 in the UK) over the years, the post says:
"Unfortunately there are no plans presently to do a Vita specific version of FMH at present, sorry."
This saddens me.
They made one for PSP, but no plans for the VITA?
Damn. Really like FM :(
The mysterious person quoted was probably me; to put some more detail into things ...
At present there are no plans to do a Vita specific version of Football Manager Handheld at present.
The PSP version will however work fine on Vita.
So saying that there isn't a specific FMH game on vita is a bit like saying we don't do a specific iPhone4s version of FMH, yes its true - but most people are happy enough playing the 'standard' iOS version which works on an iPhone3g.
Hope this helps,
Marc Vaughan - SI Bunny (apparently :D)
