Hi all,
Why is this (beta) patch so quick to be released? Would it not have been a more sensible approach to delay the release of the game itself, correcting as many (of the more obvious and serious) bugs as possible? The game could then have been released nearer the christmas period. Surely the whole idea of a patch is to fix bugs not encountered during initial testing. Either the game was not tested enough, or the game was rushed out with known (possibly serious) bugs within.

Because now, SI can log all the problems found by all the thousands of people playing it, as oppose to a limited testing market which, no matter how extensively they test it, will never be as large as the numbers who buy the game.
No matter how much they try, there will always be bugs. Consider how many parts there are to the game, and how few bugs there are in comparison. There are no 'serious' bugs that render the game unplayable (closing down is NOT a reason to completely abandon the game). </BLOCKQUOTE>
looool. if we would treat our customers like that. hell we would be out of business already. its nothing else then cutting back at the expenses for sega. to release a demo and dont even wait for feedbacks just to release the full game a week later. do i really need to say more? </BLOCKQUOTE>
how could they possibly know all the issues that will come up on every single persons game? the process of making a game isn't the same as making a cheese burger where you work lad. Be happy they are so involved in the community and make a real hard effort to resolve issues as fast as possible. There are a lot of gaming companies that release a product clearly unfinished and then do not provide an fixes at all (see: Ubisoft, EA, etc.) </BLOCKQUOTE>
You fail to understand my initial problem here, it's not not about knowing all the 'issues' 'bugs' rather, how can they know every one? My issue is with 'possibly' releasing a product with 'possibly known' bugs, and such obvious ones. A demo one week, a game the next, the beta patch swiftly behind it. 'Maybe' there is pressure on SI from Sega, 'maybe'. As for comparing a greasy cheap cheeseburger usually made by people who couldn't care less if it is cooked properly or not, and what goes into it, to a £25 game created by advanced programmers with the backing of a company such as Sega... I'll leave it there. 'Be happy they are involved in the community and make a real hard effort to resolve issues'; Issues that they are paid to deal with quite frankly, I'm grateful, but I am also grateful to all the 'volunteers' who give up their 'free' time to create 'better' skins, facepacks and many more great additions to FM. I do agree however, that the FM community and SI's involvement in it, is one to praised, the FM community is superb. Good point raised by 'imperialfrost', a logical and sensible one. As for 'lad' I didn't know OAP's enjoyed the game, but well done anyways, you're never too old to enjoy the FM series.
