I have to admit that I am of the opinion that this game simply shouldn't have been released when it was. If you look at the list of fixes in the patch - some of the mistakes, yes mistakes, were embarrassing for SI.

Even now with the infamous full patch - there are still problems, yes the match engine is improved and it plays better, but just because it runs slightly smoother and your defenders defend, doesn't mean that the game is fixed - There are still far too many shots, too many super human efforts from VERY average goalkeepers (for example my under 18 keeper who is gash, stopping my strikers in 20+ shots in a row during a friendly).

Also, the finances have been tweaked, but not fixed, these tweaks, for my teams anyways, have ruined my chances of signing any players from the start of the season - If i sign any decent players, I will end up around 5-9m in the wrong direction. Not good enough!!!
bloody hell, these days you cant even make a positive comments on this forum without being accuse of fanboy or ass-kisser.

i really do hope when these moaners claimed they will never play the game again will actually stick to their gun and never come back.

"I dominated 90 min yet failed to win so it must be the match engine's fault".......what a GREAT attitude

So Man U vs Man City, who dominated 90 min? who won? Did Alex Ferguson say "they whole game of football is sh*t"?

When Arsenal get beaten by Man Utd 6-1, did Arsene Wenger quit?

I am not expecting you to have the mentality of the top coaches but "I cant win so I am gonna quit" is just childish.


and yea, I am a fanboy....so what?

I think some people have just got bored of the game really after playing it for so many years, thats why it doesn't feel the same as it used to do..

Its just natural to move on in life and do other things with your time than play FM. I used to play all the time but now i just don't seem to want to play more than 3 or 4 matches in one go - not because the game is much different or worse than it was, but just because its just not as fun anymore.

I think this is a natural cycle...

A game should never be available for sale with so many ridiculous mistakes in it. The reason why it has been released in this state is down to pure greed. Why wait to completely fix a game when you can flog it start making more money and then fix it after a while.

If you went to a restaurant and ordered a meal and it was sent out to you bit by bit would you be happy? How the hell SI are getting away with this i dont know

I agree with u,this game is far far far from reality.But it is surely the best videogame to let your imagination feel like u are a true manager.

in the end all we do is looking at 22 dots that most of the time do random stuff.....but i dont care because i feel good and i feel like a manager anyway.

because if PC games developers waited until their games were COMPLETELY bug free before releasing... there would BE NO PC GAMES ON THE MARKET!!!

EVERY pc game has bugs... this isn't limited to SI by any means. thankfully, SI are one of the developers who spend time AFTER release, making patches to increase the enjoyment of their customers.

It's just a shame ALL PC game developers don't do this.

i think what one user said about the game getting boring is right

theyve neither made it exciting with new features or a new tactics setup nor stable by eliminating bugs
