Gubbs - you shouldn't post half comments from people. You have already got a yellow card for posting libellous comments, yet you've just done it again. Stop it.

There were 2 posts from me on the subject in that thread.

The first

"d d - Personally, I don't see problems with board confidence in the games that I've played, so I don't see what needs to be fixed. It seems to be a subjective issue. There was a bug in 8.00 whereby people could be sacked for reaching their achievements quickly, which was fixed for 8.01, but people have to remember that some boards are more harsh than others.

The only annoyance I personally find with confidence whilst playing the match is when I sign a youngster for a lot of money, shove him in the reserves, and then have the fans being upset with him for not doing that well when he's come on as a sub, whereas I've signed him as one for the future. Then I remember how much I moan about Tamas Priskin, who Watford signed for decent money, hasn't done that great, but our manager clearly stated was one for the future, so what I thought was a bug is actually accurate in real life!"

Then the second

"Nomis07 - if you see my post, I clearly state that personally, I haven't seen issues with it.

If you believe that there are issues, then the bugs forum is the place to go, with saved games. It would then get looked at."

I don't mean to sound naggy or moany because as I say, asides from the two problems that I find in board confidence, I think it is the best game yet.

I jsut wanted to know, if enough people do post about the problem in the bugs problem, is there a chance of a mini-patch being made rectifying any problems, or is it simply too late now?

Miles how long can you keep brushing off problems and pretending they do not exist? You are losing peoples respect. Don't be surprised if FM09 bombs.

I'm not trying to be a fanboy but he isn't brushing them off, he's just saying he hasn't experienced the problems.

I think we are lucky that the makers of such a fantastic and world-famous game are willing to communciate with us about our problems on the game and I can imagine how frustrating it must be for the team when all they receive is criticism despite creating a market-leading game. If we get too critical we will lose this means of communicating with the team so even though some problems can be frustrating, it's important not to take things for granted.

I'm not sure what else you can call it? Given his comments about many problems not being real, this being the best version ever, it's hilarious really. I miss Darth Vaughan. He was so much better at forum prowling than Miles. At least he actually knew something!

Seagulls Forever - I think I've been very clear in my 2 posts on the subject above. I haven't seen the problem personally in the games I have been playing. If others are, we need examples to have a look at, in the form of saved games.

I don't see where that is me brushing anything off. How can we possibly fix an issue we haven't seen?

Insulting me, and making wild sweeping statements is also uncalled for.

Krondor - many of those are related to the problem that was present in boxed game, and fixed in the first patch. Many more are people discussing others peoples issues, or duplicate threads. And some are people complaining about being sacked when they were sacked correctly.

I have not seen any that are examples, with saved games, that could help us fix any individual issues. If you can give me any pointers in that direction, it would be very useful.

I am sure it's very frustrating for those that have seen it happen, or think it's unexplained. Without seeing saved games (both before, and after, it happens), we can't analyse to work out what the potential issue is, or whether the sacking was justified.. There are a plethora of reasons that would go into a manager being sacked, and a culmination of these things is needed for it to happen.

So you think getting sacked for not winning the Johnston's Paint Trophy, regardless of whatever else you win, upto and including the League title, is fine?

I find that very hard to believe. I'd really like to see the save game if you could upload it to the FTP.
