1 very quick question

Why can I not choose which patch I play my game on like in fm09 Thanks to anyone who can help:thup:.

You don't choose the patch, you choose the database and seen as though there are no other databases there will be no option.

So if I do not want pacth 10.1.1 in a new game say I want 10.0.0 I do not have a choice I have to go with 10.1.1?

yes you do not have a choice. As hursty2 said, in fm 09 you are choosing the database not the patch

ive got the same problem, everytime that i start a new game, even though i have made a databsae of my own on editor, and i have both patches, it doesnt come up with which database i would like to use, any tips?

If you dont want to use 10.1.1 then why install it in the first place? That patch was designed to fix the problems with crash dumps that people were having so if you dont have the problem then I dont think its 100% needed so you could probably wait for the 10.2 patch which should be available before the end of the month.

I know what you mean but steam installed it without mew knowing:( so it is not my fault and no matter what I do I can not play it on disc no idea why!?!

When you start a new game you have to tick the change box before your taken to another screen where you can select the files you've created thats obviously assuming you've saved them in the right place which should be program files\sports interactive\football manager 2010\editor data

10.1.1 will have had no affect on your game whatsoever.

10.1.1 or 10.1.0 don't come with a database. Try to understand. Like they said, fm09 patches came with new databases and only 10.2 will have that when it comes out. Then you will be able to chose something. I hope this made it clear for u.

Actually I dont think that 10.2 will contain an updated database since this patch is due before the end of the month. Normally they wait until the January transfer window has closed before release a patch that contains a database update so we'll have to wait for that patch.

So I have to wait a long time before I can choose patchs?

Its impossible to change patches ffs like we've said. Your confusing patches with updated databases included with the patches that need them.

eg: the next patch will change Portsmouths manager from Paul Hart to Avram Grant.

whereas the final patch after the january transfer window will come with an updated database accurate to the teams after that transfer window.

So I have to wait a long time before I can choose patchs?

No. That's not what we're saying here. You never did choose PATCHES. Not in FM09. Not in FM08. Not in FM07. etc etc etc. You were choosing DATABASES. It just so happened that with those games, when the game was patched they added a database edit. Even if you chose to stick with the 8.0.0 database in FM08 or whatever, you still had all the bugfixes and code changes from the patch applied whether you liked it or not.

FM10 has not had a database change yet. Therefore, there is only one database to choose from. When FM releases a patch with a database edit, you will have a choice.

Ok thanks for clearing that up for me:).
