I understand why some people would want more development time for FM 09, but I'd be extremely frustrated if they didn't release 8.02. We're customers, and with 8.01 (and some may say 8.02 too) we had a product with plenty of bugs.

Unless FM09 is half price to those who bought 08 (not gonna happen), then I think customers deserve patches.

I don't follow this "they should spend more time on FM09" logic. FM09 is going to be just a "big patch" anyway (don't mean it in a bad way). It's not like they are writing a new game from scratch. If they never released 8.0.2. they would still have to fix all those bugs later anyway.

No.

I'm reasonably sure that it's a small set of people working on fixing bugs leaving the vast majority to work on FM09

2 patches per game policy. It's not going to change unless theres game killing bugs.

I think SI have already said 8.0.2 is the last.

I hope for 8.0.3, but don´t believe there will be one. I erot this in another thread

8.0.2 is a step in the right direction to make this game really good. But there are still things that need to be fixed, which is pointed out in these forums. So a 3rd patch would be great for this game. FM 2006 had 3 patches, FM 2005 had 5 patches, so there are nothing wrong with releasing many patches. It doesn´t show that SI is bad at making games, it shows that they care about this game.

So I really hope that SI will take the decision to release the 8.0.3, maybe like a Easter present about a month from now. :thup:

Never gonna happen.

802 reissue only likely if something else crops up over the weekend, and even then it's only gonna be the two fixes - can't see them being able to test anything else quickly enough.

They have already released an updated 8.0.2 patch today with the Defoe and Turkey fix
