tbh Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 This is not a plea for the new football manager to be out soon, No im just wondering why FM doesn't come out before the football season?:confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted August 9, 2010 Administrators Share Posted August 9, 2010 Partly because all the transfers won't have been completed, think of the number of transfers that still go through in late August in the previous seasons.

tbh Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Ahh got yeah, forgot about that. Couldn't you bring out a transfer patch though after you brought the game out? or won't that be possible etc. Thanks for the instant reply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hursty2 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 They probably could, thing is if they suddenly decided to bring it out before the season starts they would have lost 2 months of testing etc for the first year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what your saying but why didn't they bring out the first FM before the football season, then start testing 2 months before the football season.

I get the feeling you think I want the game out now, because I don't, I just wanted some information on why they don't bring it out before the season and I've got it now.

Neji Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I think it takes around a month after it's finished to duplicate and distribute so it would be quite out dated and not everyone knows about patches and transfer updates etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViG1980 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Well that happens end of august yet the game comes out in October - pretty sure it doesn't take you guys a month for those final day transfer updates Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter G Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 It might not take a month to do those last day transfers but you have to remember the vast number of leagues that are available on FM, your talking over 100,000 clubs in the whole game which will be looked at extensively and updated. The two months afterwards allows them to then test it with the new players and teams in place and make any last minute tweaks that could improve the game or remove bugs.

SI Staff Ter Posted August 9, 2010 SI Staff Share Posted August 9, 2010 Not to mention the time it takes to do all the kits and player pictures. Those always end up going down to the wire as it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGulls Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Because its not finished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViG1980 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I'm just teasing but the new kits, player pictures etc can be done before the start of the season as they come out in June/July so surely that isn't the reason for mid to late October release. Anyway, like I said, I'm just messing with you - I'm used to the October release. If anything, a couple of months of footy just whets my appetite for FM! Looking forward to the FM11 announcements!
