This has irked me about FM08 as well. If anyone has an aswer to overcome it I'm all ears (or eyes as the case may be). </BLOCKQUOTE>

Out of interest do these defenders have pace, acceleration, anticipation greater than the wingers? Is their decision making good, what tactics do your defenders have, zonal marking, man to man marking. A lot of things to consider

Please dont rant, it wont improve FM08. And yea, you are not the 1st one who rant. If you really love FM, do the following:

1. Report the bugs

2. Wait for the patch

3. If you really get fed up, then of course FM isnt the only game avaliable


Please dont rant here.

1. I'll be 101 by the time I manage to list all the bugs!

2. Wait for the patch?! Ha Ha.. It will probably destroy the tactics I've been working on for the last 48 hours!

3. Yep, I'm waiting for Call of Duty 4 tommorrow, at least you can shoot someone in that if you get p***** off!!

Seriously, I love FM I always have, at the same time I have always got irked with the bugs especially in FM2007. However what really annoys me is that SI DON'T LEARN!!

Why, Why, Why do every year we get a game that has hardly changed yet it has more bugs in than ever? FM2008 has more bugs that really affect the gameplay than any version before. Too many to list but....

Goals being scored by the Opposition as soon as you go into your tactic screen.

Defenders doing an impression of a statue.

My Goalkeeper passing beautifully to an opposition striker on a regular basis.

Ridiculous high Transfer Fees (a la 2007!)

Being unable to get rid of players (a la 2007)

Team Talks : One criticism and you have a Mutiny on your hands!

The Board getting miffed with you if you lose two in a row.

And numerous other points that many other people are mentioning on these Forums.

People say well go to the Tactics Forum,,, I did, and I asked people to take a look at my tactics and could they please advise me so I can have a bit more luck with the game. I haven't had one reply!!

It happens year after year. SI brings a game out, which quite frankly is c***. So they bring a patch out, and another patch out, and another...... Then they say well it is save game compatible but to get all the features start a new game. So you do in about February, and in September time they bring another game out with as many bugs in it as the previous one!! So you get about 7 months game time with a half decent game! That isn't right.

I wouldn't mind so much if SI learnt but as I have said before they don't.

The problem is they don't have any Competition so it's east bringing out so much tripe. I'm a Painter and Decorator. There is a lot of competition around here so if I do a c*** job people will go elsewhere. SI are lucky in that respect but sooner or later someone will bring out a good Management sim and SI will have to look at where they are going.

If you buy a new car you don't expect it to have 4 wobbly wheels and a dodgy engine when you buy it. You certainly don't expect them to say "ok, come in in two months time and we will put some test tyres and a test engine in it until February and then hopefully we will give you the real thing then. By the way though a new model comes out in September!"

They should just have updated 2007 for this season in a data update and worked and tested on a new game until it actually worked!!!

Of course if they weren't so greedy that would give it a year of and jump from FM07 to FM09. But money talks, and they obviously don't give a rats arse about their consumers, which could easily rebound on them.

There might not be any competition, but if a game's unplayable then people will find better things to do with their time.

I agree whole heartedly!

I am in my second season with Newcastle and I am a "popular manager". In my first season I was public enemy No1.

Before the patch this game sucked the ever living ass out of my world....now I am getting to grips with it.

I think it takes a while for your players to get used to your style...once you have everyone singing from the same hymn book it's very enjoyable.

Persevere.

Where should people rant?

Maybe there should be a rant only forum where people can vent with impunity.
