Question about Football Manager 360

[Izulde]

I noticed from reading the preview that it's apparently going to be the same as the PC version in a lot of ways and not watered down.

My question is, will it include the ability to manage any country's national side? That's still the thing I want to see most in FM that I don't think would require a major overhaul.

(The other thing I most want *would* require a major overhaul: Namely OOTP-style customization :D)

I remembered Marc V. posting something about the XBox 360 version of FM and just found it. It's at post #13 in this thread:

Thanks, FrogMan :)

I'll probably pick up the 360 version anyway, both to support SI and so I have a console version of FM to play when I want to multitask and do other stuff on my comp too :)

Err, better make sure it isn't region locked. Some 360 games have been.

I don't remember where he stated so, but I'm pretty sure that Marc V. said that FM360 will NOT be region locked...
