You haven't mentioned any bugs that needs fixing.

I hope it's the truth because i'd be wondering about any company that focuses on a previous game with only a few months to go before their next release. As for it being worth it's price, it's currently £10 in Sainsbury's, there are far worse games costing far far more and most of the "bugs" you can live with. If you're so infuriated and won't buy it again, why not abstain completely and forward a letter of complaint to the retailer rather than post on a forum?

PS I'm not being cheeky, but I just don't see the point in saying you won't buy it again on a forum, perhaps if you gave valid reasons you would get a response.

That's right, because lots of companies would be willing to go a full year without any meaningful release and so missing out on a considerable amount of revenue. I hear the staff are willing to work for free.

Well why would they bring out a new patch? There would be no need to bring out FM09 if SI released a new patch!

Very few games like this ever make it to a perfection stage, they are incredible hard to iron out all the issues. other games that have this problem are such as the Total Wars series.
Immensely popular but they have there fair share of problems post release!

Its to be expected.

I see your point, but the problem is that I truly mean that the reasons I have allready given is valid. If the bugs left in the game was fx a bug where you couldn´t read some text on a screen, or the commentary was a ltile wrong a couple of times I wouldn´t care. But this isn´t the fact, the bugs left in the game is much too big issues in my opinion, and I´m angry about it because I have bought the game, and I´m disapointed because I think this version has made a huge step backwards. I like to play in the Spanish league but when there´s problems with the registration this is not an oportunity for me, The AI with players who looses stats much too fast is a big problem in my opinion etc., thats why I complain, and I think I have the right to do that, theese bugs is possible to correct, SI has just chosen not to do so!

´corner bug must be fixed

and that onyl tactics with arrows all over the field and defenders running up to midfield must stop.

a normal 4-3-3 or 5-3-2 should also work sometimes with right players and tweakings for crossings mentality and passing modding

Stop using it.

Fixed.

That's the hard bit. 2-1 down going into the last 10 minutes it becomes very tempting. Sometimes it's almost like trying NOT to win by not using it...

The two bugs you have raised aren't issues IMO, and definately not issues that would warrant an 8.0.3 or stop me from buying the game.

The Spanish registration bug was fixed with 8.0.2 so if you're still having it perhaps you aren't patched up and the patch you talk about is actually available. As for AI players loosing stats, I assume you mean as they get older, this is an issue in a sense, but I think people take too much notice of these forums sometimes. The players loose attributes such as pace etc, but you are capable ofplaying them well into their 30's, I had Mexes and Milito both playing realtively well at 35, if I had listened to these forums I would have sold them at 31, there is no need to do that.

Yes you do have the right to complain, and yes the bugs are easily corrected, and they have been corrected. There are only two major bugs atm with FM the confidence and corner bug. The corner bug is easily avoided and the confidence bug is 9 times out of 10 avoidable. I don't think that warrants the work needed to create an 8.0.3 rather than putting more effort into FM09.
