Strangely enough, those players will also find themselves surprisingly at ease with a game that ‘pays homage’ to earlier SI offerings – or so says development honcho Miles Jacobson in part 2 of our exclusive interview (hunt it out – it’s definitely worth a view). Those who haven’t touched SI’s games since the Championship Manager 2 era won’t even notice them. Similarly, not being able to skip loading screens will only get the goat of highly strung coaches who can’t wait a few seconds for such intermissions. Scrolling a signing-on fee offer clause to £0 takes too long, for example, but that only matters if you’re a tightwad with principles about such issues (like us). Other minor gripes will not deter every budding boss. Weighting up players against your own is a case of crudely eyeing them in the player search list or relying on your memory.
While the user interface has been improved in line with the advancement in SI’s other version of the game, it’s still galling to note that there’s no player comparison tool, either. There’s still no ‘offer to clubs’ option to help you take a more proactive approach to chipping away at your wage budget, for instance. Managerial tools experienced PC bosses take for granted are noticeable by their absence. But why haven’t team talks been included? Surely such a basic interactive option would be a must-run feature? The game’s shortcomings certainly don’t end there, with a few reminders of the previous FM handheld’s irritations turning up like a nasty hangover the night after a cup win. Chatting with any player in the football universe to help prompt a move is hardly the most crucial aspect to miss either. Not even the most demandingly bratty of football fans would expect the latest FM’s interactivity options to make it into the handheld game in all their glory.
Football Manager new Interactivity options Which, ironically, isn’t a wholly bad thing. The result? A game that looks decidedly antiquated next to the PC FMs. This time round, the same tech limitation-driven process of slicing down the key features of FM 2007 means you feel you’re not only getting a diet version of the latest game, but a cutdown 2007 grafted onto an already skinny 2006. Nor did the absence of detailed finance sheets and a bag full of subtle features. Heck, who could expect the glorious detail and unrivalled depth of a game that has taxed many a half-decent PC to port in fully-featured form to Sony’s black beauty, anyway? Even stripping out the 2D match engine – which actually provided a welcome reminder that life before semi-decent visuals was little worse than what we have now – didn’t bother us. The original FM for PSP was so welcome to those of us who dreamed of playing SI’s unsurpassed masterpiece on the move – without lugging a glorified typewriter around – that we forgave its shortcomings.
