I was in my local "Game" store today and whilst there a guy came in and was looking at the Football Manager 08 game (number 1 in the PC chart)

Anyway for one reason or another we got chatting and I pointed out to him that there was a bit of critism of the boxed game on the official forum and I advised him that if he bought the game he should go to the website and download the latest patch.

I also explained that there would be another patch out shortly that should fix more issues that owners had bought up.

Then he quesioned why it was the number 1 game in the store if it already needed two patches to make it OK ?!?!??!

Obviously couldn't answer him with any kind of authority so I suggested he came on here cause I was buggered if I knew.

Anyway thats it - thought I'd share it with you lovely people...........pointless thread over....

It's number one for several reasons. Here's two.

1) People who walk into a store to buy it aren't yet aware of the bugs and issues. They will most likely become so as they begin to play it. Although it seems we experience different degrees of these issues.

2) It's the best management sim out there. And it's widely recognised as such, bugs or no bugs.

3) even with the bugs no other management sim could beat it. Even without the whole match engine it would probably sell more than any other management game just for the sheer detail iolved in making the game.
