Videogamer writes: "There will be no console version of Football Manager 2009 because the control system on last year's 360 game "was crap", Sports Interactive MD Miles Jacobson has revealed.
Speaking during the game's unveiling in London last night, Jacobson said that the team may one day return the series to consoles, taking inspiration from 2K Games' critically acclaimed console strategy game Civilization Revolution.
He said: "We thought we'd improved a lot last year. It was still too hard to use. So we decided to have at least a year off on the 360 this year. The good news is that there's been one game that was similar to us on the PC that's come out and really nailed a good control system for quite a complicated system, which was Civilization Revolution. So we'll probably look at it again in the future. But we really wanted to concentrate on the 3D engine this year and getting that nailed and the other improvements that have gone in rather than thinking about the consoles this year."
