![]() ![]() It took us a while to achieve – and it was a great deal harder than any of us expected – but we’ve done it and, from today, you can start a new management career on your PS Vita, upload your saved game to the cloud and then continue where you left off on your computer (or vice versa, of course). However, people with brains far bigger than mine – both in SI and Sony – took a look at the issues and together we decided to give it a go. Up until the arrival of PS Vita, there simply wasn’t a handheld device in existence with the power to allow us to do this – and, to be honest, we weren’t completely sure that (brilliant as it is) the Vita was going to have the necessary muscle either. The reason we decided to do this, rather than start from scratch and create an all-new version of FM specifically for PS Vita, was because all games developers are dreamers and our dream was to see if it would be possible to make a game which would allow a Football Manager player to carry on a single career across a home computer and a handheld device. ‘Classic mode’, as we call it, has been available as an optional game mode in the two most recent versions of our PC/Mac game, but this is the first time that we’ve made it available as a standalone game in its own right. It’s still the full game, but a number of the manager’s tasks have been delegated or automated so that he or she can concentrate on the most important elements (essentially, transfers, training and tactics). ![]() To quickly run through the basics again, Football Manager Classic is a ‘streamlined’ version of Football Manager. You can’t imagine how good it feels to type those words. It’s taken 18 months, a shed-load of hard work and the combined brainpower of some of the most agile minds in the business, but it’s all been worth it because – from today – you and I can now play Football Manager Classic on PS Vita. ![]()
