When Will You Buy The Game?

Will you buy it at release, or when at least the first patch is released?

given posters previous i believe many will wait till patch, and it normally down in price by then.

said that i will get it when i normally do, day of release lol

I won't. .

When the final patch comes out, if I buy it at all.

Might skip this and go for FM12.

Whenever I get the money.

I'll buy it today .... oh already did

2010 sucked so really looking forward to 2011.

will be buying on release date and going into hiding for a relaxing fm weekend. hoping i can continue my leicester save as im 2nd in january

Next March when the best version of the game comes out. Annoying, but as i found with FM10, neccesary to my enjoyment of the game

Staright the way on the 5th cant wait i might get the patches this year i never have done before but im not sure

Well as it turns out Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II and Fable III are also coming out soon and i only can afford one game so i might wait purchasing FM 2011 until the first patch comes out in December.

day of release, infact i've already purchased it from steam just waiting for the release day

I already pre-purchased it.

I already pre-purchased it.

same here

I already pre-purchased it.

The same, and will have a scarf with the game :

Release day baby!

Wont bother this time round, wait for fm12, it will hopefully be more bigger in what's on offer next time round, plus have fml sub running for last 12 months.

the 5th of Never probably.

the day of release as im of work that day

Where have you pre-ordered it from mate?

This is a step back for the Football Manager series. They need to stop pushing out unfinished games every year. Release games once every two years instead, and make sure that the games you create are enjoyable out of the box on day 1. This is hilarious. Uncle Scrooge loves money, and so do you! Quality? Out the window! Assurance? Not a chance. You can do database upgrades and updates without re-launching a game as a new FM game. I'd love to see a FM game working as intended, it would have been great to play. Now all we worry about for the first 8 months is what bugs we encounter and how to best tolerate them or navigate around them.

Already pre-ordered it

First day. As ever.

First day, dont really care about the bugs, i guess it gives me a chance to get to know the game before its fixed to start a long game.

pre-ordered, getting it on release day \o/

Im getting it for my Christmas. If I get it on release day, ill fail my exams

Where have you pre-ordered it from mate?

From FNAC it's a French retail chain.

Might try and hold out till christmas! and try and finish my epic save on fm 10!

Very much doubt it though and will probably end up getting it on release

hopefully the first day if i can find money

pre ordered at GAME

Probably around Jan-Mar 2011.

nobody forces you to buy it do they? i love buying it every year so should i have to wait every 2 years just because you don't?

people are acting like the fm11 demo was completely broke which is quite astonishing tbh, it's certainly less broke than fm09 and fm10 was out of the box not to mention most issues will be resolved on release day!

When I can find it for £10 or less I'll buy it. I think last year I got it for £5, maybe that was the year before, in fact last year I got it via Esellerate and due to currency conversions I got it mighty cheap, can't remember how much.

One thing I know is I won't be buying it on release day I promised I would stop doing that a few years ago and it'a made me far happier. I wait, spend less money, generally the game has been patched, lots of other people have been beta testing it for a while (sorry, playing it) and I can then go ahead and enjoy.

pre ordered at GAME

Dude, it's like £30 at Game, are you mental? Want to buy some stuff from me? You can have a kilo of dirt for £50 if you like.

Day of release. Obviously.

Along with 99% of users. :confused:

If I can find a shop that sells it for less than $80 here in Australia

If i can get my graphics sorted out so i can actually run it... ill get it on release

already ordered

When I can afford to. I have no idea when that'll be.

Totally agree. The Demo seems to have very few issues (for me anyway)...though of course no one has completed even a season yet, so who knows.

Not sure I will this year, if I do it will be in a couple of months.

Shouldn't most of them already been resolved already? Why do we have to wait to get a patch to fix stuff that should have never been a problem in the first place.

Simply because of numbers.

100,000 players will encounter things that 50-100 testers just never will.
