datLloydfella Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 this is the first time i have posted on a forum so I apologise if this is in the wrong place. I love this game so much and have played since CM97/98 but recently I have noticed that even after patches have been released there are still so many problems with the game. this is the first time i have paid attention to opposition instruction and I wanted to perfect it, however several times it is not possible to set instructions. sometimes the option is not there and other times when you set a players instructions it changes the whole teams instruction. while playing today I made a substitution and before the ball went out of play one of my player was injured. when the game went back to my tactics screen the number next to the player which is normally green was grey as if he had already been taken off. it would not allow me to sub the player and I had to play the game with 10 players. for a game that has so much depth and has so long spent on it to make is it really acceptable that there is still so much wrong with it. doesn't it break trading standards laws when they sell you a game that doesn't work properly. technically we should all be given our money back for buying faulty goods Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had you already used all 3 subs? for a game that has so much depth and has so long spent on it to make is it really acceptable that there is still so much wrong with it. doesn't it break trading standards laws when they sell you a game that doesn't work properly. technically we should all be given our money back for buying faulty goods It does work properly for some people. If you keep bleating about "trading standards" people on here are gonna get bored of you pretty quick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyGabriel Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Vic comes across as a very straight to the point guy, I can understand people thinking he's arrogant but he just tells it like it is.

atonement Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 the way i view fm now, is dont start a proper save game or even buy it until the 3rd patch is out and dont expect too much of it either every year it gets released with bugs, AI problems, regen problems and massive holes in the match engine, and although this is frustrating, to the experienced FMer this is now path of the course its head and shoulders above its competition but because of the type of game it is, repetitive and formulaic, its weaknesses are always going to shine through onwards and upwards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
datLloydfella Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 well this just turned into a big argument I don't know what the problem between johnhendershot and Vic Taylor is. I didn't intent to start any arguments i was just venting my frustration after a bug occured in my game. claiming that FM was breaking trading standards was an obvious joke i didn't think anybody would take it seriously. calling Vic Taylor a troll after admitting I don't know what one is was also a joke which was taken the wrong way so I will gladly retract that statement. StevoRobbo claims that this is an alias and I'm logging out when somebody else logs in.... I have better things to do with my time I have no feelings about Vic Taylor 1 way or the other and I really don't care enough to say anything else to defend myself with regards to these claims. Again, all I was doing is venting my frustration at this bug and was hoping other people might be able to shed some light on this subject. maybe this had happened to somebody else and they could have gave me some insight in case it was something I did wrong. If anybody else has had these problems or something similar happen in their game then I'd be glad to hear from you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if you admit you haven't a clue what one is. If you and johnhendershot aren't the same person, then it's the weirdest thing I've seen on this forum. I haven't a clue who this guy is. :confused: If you think what you're experiencing is a bug, you should post it in the bug's forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
datLloydfella Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 I don't know if it is a bug or if it something I did myself it was in the early hours when it happened and I was very tired. how do you put somebodys quote in your message? that would have made my last message a lot easier. and why would anybody be offended by being called a troll? i love those little guys with their big blue hair =D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeesterCat Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 The thread title is fairly misleading however. You might want to change it something slightly less dramatic. Claiming 'so many problems' then listing one, is a tad cheeky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Taylor Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I don't know if it is a bug or if it something I did myself it was in the early hours when it happened and I was very tired. You should have confirmed it before complaining. how do you put somebodys quote in your message? that would have made my last message a lot easier. You click the 'reply' button on the user's message you wish to reply to. and why would anybody be offended by being called a troll? i love those little guys with their big blue hair =D It's a quite offensive term used for someone who posts soley to get a negative response from others.

slipknot67 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 With regards to the problem with substitutions, if once in the tactics screen you hit cancel in the bottom right corner of the screen, then re-enter the tactics screen, you should be able to make your substitution providing you haven't made three subs already.
