Happy or Unhappy with FM 2010?

Straight forward, are you happy or unhappy with FM2010?

best yet or too many bugs, posting your reasons would be great as well (without ranting would be good)

More than happy with it.

More than happy with it.

Say's it all for me. :thup:

Best yet, definitely. Sure, there are bugs, but nothing that makes it unplayable for me.

Best yet bar none, and im not overly fussed with the bugs, hope they get ironed out but it doesnt detract from my gameplay. Done 5 seasons with Sedan and tbh ive not enjoyed any other version more than this one. Yes, my first few gamesaves where I finished 10th with Arsenal, got sacked by Bordeaux after 15 games, and almost got athletico madrid relegated were mind numbingly annoying, but once you sit down and go through the tactics methodically, this game is a pleasure.

I know people are popping at the game left right and centre for regen bugs, crash dumps and the like, but for me, touch wood, I have had no crashes, Steam is working beautifully, and the game performs well on my really quite rubbish maching (running 5 playable leagues on a 1 star setup and have had no real performance issues). The regen problems havent taken away from my enjoyment, though I can see why it would.

Get the feeling this thread has been adressed countless times, but theres my 2p anyways.

tis amazin

earlier thread had no poll and suggested creating 1, apologies if this is a duplicate

What regen problem?

Wasnt having a dig BTW, I couldnt care less about keeping a forum clean, just seem to find every 2nd thread seems to be a "I love FM, I hate Fm, rinse and repeat"

What regen problem?

Quite a few threads on this forum where people dont seem happy with the regens and issues around them, no idea if ive misread, but seems to be regens.

There's no "indifferent" option. I don't dislike FM10, I just prefer 08 and 09, so I don't play it.

I always said FM08 was ther best, But I get laughed at by these blind people who see FM2010 as some orgasmic sex toy which brings them unspeakable pleasures in the rectum.

FM08 all the way.

I really enjoy the game! The bugs annoy me but just a little. I own both Championship Manager and Football Manager, and I really enjoy the fact I can make my own competitions, etc. Football Manager hands down! ^_^

It's to do with attributes not properly suiting their position & very poor mental stats, long term save issue.

FM10 all the way. I dont really notice the bugs so much and im lucky enough not to have suffered any crashes or the more serious ones.

You're not seriously telling me all the bad threads on here are coming from 9 people:eek:

Can anyone tell me if the AI managers have been fixed since 09?

I'm currently not playing FM10 as it will cause me to fail my final year of college.

Thanks in advance

How do you mean? Not aware of the previous problem.:confused:

I'm really enjoying it. Played well over 100 hours so far, and will play many more, so it's been fantastic value for money as well. I'm playing long term journeyman career games, and I have a side game with a completely fictional country and league set up.

I don't seem to be coming across the problem people have been mentioning, and this is in around 20 seasons of game time. My fave FM ever.

How do you mean? Not aware of the previous problem.:confused:

Poor purchases etc.

How do you mean? Not aware of the previous problem.:confused:

With AI managers buying players for 10 million and not using them, then selling them on 6 months later for 30 million after playing one game.

Also with clubs continually renewing youth players contracts year on year until there are 26 and in the course of their time at the club, they've had one loan spell and only played a handful of games.

It was very rampant in FM09 with Premiership clubs especially Arsenal and Untied

Hope this makes it clearer for you, its a problem a lot of ppl have encountered i believe but many ppl didn't seem to care about it.

I'm just wondering cos i'll be buying the game in May hopefully.

Poor purchases etc.

No, all seem fine, sensible purchases etc:thup:

No, reserve squads generally reduce in size over time.

Generally AI managers buy 1st teamers and good youth prospects, to be honest manager actions seam close to what would be reality.

Pretty much, its a very vocal minority.

I'm really enjoying the game.

FM09 for me wasn't the best so i continued with FM08 until FM10 came out and haven't stopped playing it since.

To be honest I haven't noticed any bugs or had any crashes so I must be lucky.

Only problem I am having is that it is affecting my COD MW2 game time!!!

Rather play FM over MW2 must be a good sign for Sports Interactive I suppose

(Just incase you're not a sad geek like me COD MW2 = Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2)

I have really enjoyed this iteration. I didn't enjoy 2009 as I thought the 3d was a big let down. I wasn't going to buy 2010 but was bored one day so I bought it to have something to do when I'm bored. Its actually one of the best that I've played since 2006 (skipped 2007).

It's my fave since FM2007, Im only in my third season so haven't got the regen issue yet but hoping this will be adressed before it becomes an issue for me!!

I'm enjoying it at the moment, especially now I have an updated laptop to play it on (on my older desktop, the ME froze 4-5 times per match for about 45 seconds). Runs quick and no crashes. No doubt it will be even better when the 10.2 patch is released (anyone know when that is likely to be?).

I'm happy, but am still finding a lot of bugs/weirdness

Whispers on the forum say this month but SI won't tie themselves down to a date as if it not ready it wont be released.

i'm happy with it so far get a few crash dumps but saving after matches prevents losing anything

Having problems with some bugs that will be fixed in patch 2(hopefully), the large majority are enjoying the game(or so they say) but 22% having problems is a large number no matter what the SI defenders say. Not starting an argument or anything, just stating an observation.

Don't do much posting as you can tell but have been playing this game for years. Registered some time back for some advice. But FM10..........

Just a tad fed up.

Lazy defending. Always slow to move, don't tackle and put the ball out for a corner when under no pressure?

Opposition makes a tackle and the ball goes loose, the opposition gives chase, where as my player slows and turns that slow he could be a barge on the canal?

Crap opposition strikers scoring powerful top corner efforts, when checking the attribute they are very poor, why are the scoring?

I seem to every game conceide a goal within the first 15 mins and have to fight back all the time? (When playing lower league)

Amazing comebacks by the AI, 3 or 4-0 up and suddenly its a draw when the clock hits the 90? (When playing higher divisions)

Other little nigly things people mention, I aint bothered about.

I can't understand the game being played out, but there are definately bugs with the defending. I have not seen a striker the loads of goals either?

This is in my opinion the best version for a couple of years but the problems have made it very difficult for me to have a long term game.

Numerous ME problems and a never ending amount of crash dumps make the game very difficult to play, but i love the tactics creator and my advice would be to wait until patch 3 comes out before you buy the game.

(The ME is a massive massive issue, and anyone who suggests otherwise is an idiot, defending is broken, attacking is broken, goalkeeping is broken, i think the only thing that isnt broken on match days is the commentating)

Blimey - 25% unhappy isnt great is it!

More than happy with it.

This......

More than happy with it.

whs tbf

76% happy, not bad considering the overwhelming majority of happy players are too busy playing to use the forum.

Couldn't really get into FM09 - which was possibly down to my epic FM08 game which I just couldn't end. But FM10 has drawn me back into the game, it's their best yet IMO.

It's to do with attributes not properly suiting their position & very poor mental stats, long term save issue.

Something which has probably been blown way out of proportion.

Sounds about right to me.

Pretty much the same as GillsMan for me.

Loved FM08. Fell out with FM09 entirely in the end.

FM10 has drawn me in again and I'm really enjoying it. I'm a bit hesitant to reach any major conclusions on the game just yet, as I feel that a long-term game and some more playing is necessary before I make my final verdict. So far, so good though for me.

I've been playing since the first CM which had fake player names, this is the most I've enjoyed a game since the early days I have to say.

Blimey - 25% unhappy isnt great is it!

Get a grip, less than 200 people have voted.

A few bugs here and there, bit slow at times (but that's because I haven't upgraded my PC in a few years), a few little frustrations that aren't actually bugs (ie still not alot of variety in team talks/press conferences), but I'm happy with it. There's certainly nothing I've experienced personally that's made the game unplayable for me.

Blimey - 25% unhappy isnt great is it!

If there were 10000 votes for arguments sake and it was 25% then it might be an issue, but 25% of less than 200, when there are thousands upon thousands of players with the game, is nothing.

Best FM ever, imagine when the last patch comes out?!

im surprised its not higher than 25% tbh.

Get a grip, less than 200 people have voted.

Pointless poll in the first place then.

If the 25% of unhappy people doesn't mean anything, then the 75% of happy people doesn't mean anything either

Best yet, I'm having lots of fun playing it. Yes there are bugs and some issues but overall it's a good game.

More than happy with it.

Same (Got to have at least 10 characters)

Pointless poll in the first place then.

If the 25% of unhappy people doesn't mean anything, then the 75% of happy people doesn't mean anything either

It is a pretty pointless poll, yes. I'll be surprised if it reaches 1000 votes, and taking into account the fact that the game has probably sold 250k copies minimum (purely based on the fact that FM09 apparently sold 1m+) upto this point, then yes it is rather pointless.

Another thing to take into consideration is the main reason people join games forums: to complain/they have problems. There is always going to be more people here that are complaining, afterall very few join because they're enjoying the game.

So Dicko's point may also be correct, although I'm guessing he said that because he has a problem, it probably should be higher.
