I wonder if anyone from SI could give me there honest opinion as to whether I should start a new lower league game on FM 08 with Bishops Stortford in the conference south, or should I wait for the next patch to come out.

I was a little conceerned by one thing I had come across, but didnt know if it was a bug or new contract rulings etc.
I wonder if you could clarify, it appears that when trying to release a youth contract player on a free I had to pay compensation. Now previously on FM07 I could just release them for nothing.

Could someone from SI then please clarify if releasing players on youth contracts, should or shouldnt have to paid compensation. If they should then obviously its not a bug, but if they shouldnt and is indeed a bug - Is it going to be fixed on upcoming patch?

If so, would be best to wait i suppose for the patch to start my FM08 career.

Many thanks

Sorry forgot to mention, that the reason I would like clarification is that, if having to release a youth contract player with paying compensation is a bug and will be fixed by the patch - Then I would rather wait for the patch as not paying compensation to such players, makes thngs significantly easier at conference south level.

However understand if its new to FM08 and is not a bug, just would appreciate clarification

Why do you need SI to tell you something that is basically a matter of personal preference? If a new patch comes out with the fixes you're looking for, you can start a new career game then whether you start one now or not.

Flip a coin?

Gunnerfan, - the reason is if i know if its a bug or not - I can then make a decision whether to start a long term career game or not.

I put a lot of effort into my career game, so wouldnt be worth starting a new game if indeed the issue is a bug and will be fixed on the upcoming patch

Speaking of patches, can we expect a new Fm2008 patch soon or are we gonna have to wait for fm2009? An official response from an SI employee would be greatly appreciated.

please could we keep this on top as I am not interested in when the patchis coming out, but just want clarification on the issue I raised, in my original two posts.

Many thanks

If we have to wait untill 09, i demand i get it for free.
They should inform us more about how the patch development is doing, and what we can expect.
