Football Manager 2008
What happened I wonder, I love the game and shall continue to buy it until i'm to old for it, at the moment though I turned 18 as of yesterday (Romantic Day for me

), Football Manager did come second i'm not that addicted to it and I don't let it control my life, it just gets played on the laptop which is indeed very often but like I said, It doesn't run my life.
So where did Football Manager go wrong this time? Well they tried to be 'Cute' in my view, I admire them for there thoughts and it's awesome they would want to do something like that and it is a nice thing to do I'm not slagging them off for that, but they didn't test it to the full potential that it should of been tested and they have made rookie mistakes which is deffo NOT like SI, How ever I believe if SI are sensible and I believe them to be, then they will release a 3rd patch shortly and this time it will not be rushed and will only be released on a day that will not be 'special' it will just be a day when it's done, Players don't care if it's brought out on a boring monday a valentine thursday or a christmas sunday as long as it's done and they know a game they paid good money for has been dealt with properly and they know they have a good team who want to make their game better.
So SI, Please don't try and make it 'cute' in future releases, if you finish it on next years version at feb 14th then fine but if your going to release it please DON'T of rushed it and DON'T of showed a lack of interest for the players, because like I said personality wise it's a nice gesture what you have done but GAMING wise you have let many of your fans down and indeed possibly drove some away, focus on the more important factors next time.
Any way sorry to ramble, you may of driven the odd 1 or 2 away but I intend to be sticking around for quite a while.
Matti.
