The reason for the "quick fix" was the deluge of rants from people who had drawn a game agaisnt Derby and so classed this as a bug. Every day another dozen posts about where the patch is appeared and the FM punter has noone to blame but the ranters for it possibly being rushed job. </BLOCKQUOTE>

there were some more inteligent moaners also.

there was a 1/1 bug, too many chances bug, super GK bug, all becouse defensive bug 801 wasn't any good. but off course you can't fix it by only making finishing better.

Without a doubt, and there were some obvious issues with the game but there were too many people ready to write the game off because of man made bugs such as the registration issue and there are still too many people moaning. IMO 8.0.2 isn't as good as 8.0.l, despite some improvements e.g. corner goals.

If it had been up to me I would have said 8.0.1 will do ok, it isn't great but rather than focus on 8.0.2 or 8.0.3 or 4 or 5 or 6 lol just concentrate on getting FM09 right. I don't want to be sitting here a year from now having played a game that hasn't improved as much as it could have and still has plenty of bugs.

well I agree they could concentrate on new game. but that wouldn't be smart, everybody knows why.

but I realy believe that some flaws like high scores, are more attribute(db) problem, rather then match engine.

I'm not sure it has in the past either, tbh. I've seen things about super keepers etc for years now and every game I have had at least one striker get over 40 in a season.

People need to remember that it is a game and reflecting real life is always going to be difficult. I noticed someone mentioned Chlesea scoring too much on a thread earlier on, so what should SI do limit them to a 1 goal advantage every game?

In my game I have beaten my closest rival 3-o and lost to them 5-0, I have lost against small teams and I have totally destroyed small teams. That's football that is simulation, as best it can be done IMO.

Of course there were people who were sensible enough to suggest bugs/issues etc in a decent way but we all know that in the weeks preceding the patch a majority of posts were the mindless rantings of idiots who had just drawn against Barcelona.

This IMO was the contributing factor to 8.0.2 being really quite weak and in essence suffering because of a playstation mentality of a majority of members who wouldn't enjoy a sim even if it was result for result identical to the EPL so far this season.

utter nonsense

quite pathetic to be honest but ah well, reasoned debate is obviously not his forte.

retired_subystud

in the english leagues, they's not many 0-0 draws irl.

i beg your pardon? how exactly were you providing a reasoned debate in the first place? what on earth is reasoned about "in the weeks preceding the patch a majority of posts were the mindless rantings of idiots who had just drawn against Barcelona"?

What is even more pathetic is your attempt to draw attention to my lack of reason without providing the full quote lol.

A rather shambolic and cretinous attempt at critique me thinks.

Here you go in case you forgot...

I provide the two sides of the coin there, the people who were issuing constructive criticism and those who weren't. Very balanced and very reasoned.

The people I refer to are the people who alter databases, add extra funds etc. Expect 7 goal thrillers that will keep you on the edge of your seat and have a striker who scores hat tricks every other game. There are plenty of them and plenty of them complained.

You only have to look at these forums to see that nearly everyday a new thread is started asking for new gimmicks like spending your wages etc. But hey, we all started off like that I suppose, perhaps the only difference was that when I started playing CM/FM the internet was not such a massive thing and knew where or how to rant off.

I'm not saying that there are no issues just that the patch was rushed because people made mountains out of molehills about certain issues. For example earlier this week a guy was on here going on about how SI had totally f'd up and were crap because he couldn't win a single game, today he started a thread saying they were s*** because he won the treble and only got 3m to spend, some people are never happy but unfortunately it's people like this that SI have listened to.
