In fairness, it's a lot easier to create a football management game with no facepacks and at times dodgy attributes than a 3D game with player likeness. That said, I get your point and I do believe it should have been done earlier. And for you Pro Evo fans, there is a great chance that the Eircom League will be featured next year if not the year after. The Konami people will be taking a look at selling figures and may notice a certain jump in the Irish market and put 2 and 2 together.Quote:

Any truth in the rumours that the delays were due to the difficulty in digitising Paddy McCourts hair in full flight?
no, they're getting rico to record the 2nd commentator's position. that way, he can still say something completely irrelevant to the situation, but sound convincing at the same time!
They haven't made a computer powerful enough to cope with Rico's vast vocabulary yet.Quote:

Or the Graham Geraghty sly dig while the ref's not looking? :DQuote:

A few photos with taken with them and Fran Gavin and then a few shots for TV3 playing around with a ball. Well organised too. A woman from the FAI approached me when she saw me taking pics, introduced herself and ask who I was there for. She also offered me a press release despite my far from professional credentials! The press release stated that it'll be the 12 teams from the premier league only that will feature in the game so looks like us in the first division will have to wait a wee while longer!
Have a few pics which I hope to post this eveing.
Sounds like a fairly professional launch
Good to hear
This is going to be great!! http://www.fai.ie/start.php
Fran Gavin, Director of the FAI eircom League of Ireland said: "Having the eircom League of Ireland included in FIFA 08 will enable people around the world to play FAI eircom League of Ireland fixtures on their computer consoles.”
Some penetrative analysis from the G-Man there, really earning his corn.
Was Tom the Gom or Maxi thereQuote:

Awh too bad the 1st division isnt in it, but it will still be fantastic beating Man United in extra time in the champions league final with a free kick from Keith Fahey:cool:
Are we still talking about computer games...:confused: :)Quote:
