Although - thinking about it there really shouldn't be "sides"

Feel the love!

I couldn't agree less. I enjoyed FM07 - but nothing like the amount that I am currently enjoying FM08. I'm not the only one either. Have a look at this thread where other people are talking about how much they still love FM - even to the point of neglecting their better halves! True, not everyone loves the game, but as MJ says it's all down to personal preferences. If there were "very, very serious problems" with the FM08 then I and many other people would not be able to get so much enjoyment out of it.

I don't think MJ or anyone else at SI would agree that it's perfect. If they thought it was perfect they'd never work to improve and evolve the game. But it's not as problematic as you and others make out. IMO.

Someone on this topic wanted Miles to say or admit that the game is a disaster as CM04 No version can be compared with CM4. Yes there're flaws and they should be fixed. But I still enjoy FM08. It's a good game.

obviously the problem can be put down to poor coding as you should not allow the user to do anythign which could cause an error.

for example if you have a program where you type in two prices and get it to caluclate the total you dont want them to be able to do the sum

'hello' + 2

otherwise it comes up with an error.
so you set validation or you funnel the user down a specific path, MAKING them do what ever it is at the time that you want them to.

i agree that it's not perfect but if SI believe that there is a specific workaround and they know for a fact that we can perform the workaround every single time then great.

PP - I believe what you're talking about is known as "error trapping", i.e. not allowing the user to make an error. I'm involved in the testing team for our software where I work (I was overlooked for the SI testing team ) and I've noticed that gaps in error trapping are more common than any other limitations in the software. It happens unfortunately.

Sorry about that.

But your wording got me worried about this issue.

You can now close this train wreck.

I, for one, haven't had a problem. Just make sure you save before the registration closes so, if you miss it the first time, you can just go back and register. TBQH, I don't even know what the problem is; I just hit "submit numbers" or something and everything works out.

The main problems are 1. the number of 1v1's/quality chances created and 2. the number of outrageous misses. It's annoying when you have a miss of the season every game.
