And it's that attitude that causes the negative reaction towards you. Others have started threads regarding the same problem and there have been pleasant debates. It's not the issue you brought up that people have a problem with per se, it is more the way in which you chose to deliver it.

That aside, if you have been playing every version since you were a kid, you should already know the way the SI release/patch cycle works.

I can't remember a release where there wasn't a final patch in February. This isn't the first time and it won't be the last. </BLOCKQUOTE>

thats my point..maybe one day, we'll get a complete game without the need for patches, and how can the match engine be so different from previous versions ?

It's possible that we'll get a game without patches, but SI's mantra, I believe, is "evolution not revolution", so I think they'll be concentrating on gradual changes, so I think we'll always have patches. I like a new patch, as it often adds a new dimension to a game, but I can certainly see why others don't like them.

Brilliant how I placed the Grammar in there as I knew you would be the kind of guy to post on it..cheers you have confirmed my thoughts on you.. :-)

The people who complain about this makes me wonder if they've actually watched a Football match in real life.

People constantly whining they're not winning 15-0 every match.

It's quite balanced. The ammount of 1 on 1 chances you get is balanced by the lack of the chances put away.

Plus if you actually watched a real game, you would notice that it's quite realistic.

Mate, it was a tongue-in-cheek response. Think about me what you like, I couldn't really care less, but lose the chip on your shoulder, please.

Let's cut the b*tching (from both of us) and get back to talking about Football Manager, yeah?

Genuine_quality

ok, ill ask a reasonable question

1.can you honestly say to me, that watching your team miss 10 one on ones in every other game is both down to bad tactics, and /or is realistic?

2.why do you think tactics have such a large part to play in games when hsitorically teams that win leagues and cups do it because they have better players?, tactics can seperate teams that are close in natural ability, but thats all

I am a season ticket holder at Arsenal and have been for 12 years, so believe me I am used to 650 chances being missed.. :-) anyway who is the local Ontario team these days ? do they score lots of goals and make lots of great plays ?, who is on their roster this year ?..

Like Canadian soccer is even worth paying attention to.

If that's your attitude then do you really expect a good response from people.

I offered a reply & because you didn't like the answer all you can do is offer abuse that was not in anyway encouraged by my post.

I have also been an FM player sine the orignal version on the Amiga & whereas I don't think this game is the finished article I accept taht like all other PC games it will need a patch or two before it plays as the develpoers intended.

Now will you kindly take your rotten attitude elsewhere.

The "tribe" comment was not necessary, I have been a player and lover of this game for years, I have never used this forum and did not expect the **** I encountered for highlighting a problem that many people appear to be having, I have never felt it necessary to post before as I have always been satisfied with the game and even patches, you do't still buy it after all these years if you don't like the game, my point is I know how to play the game and use tactics, its got to be quite serious when someone like me is actually posting..
