elgreenio Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Dunno about anyone else but i've had enough of two topics being spammed on this forum : 1. Computer specs Why are you all so worried, its only 3D, its not HD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2. Whens the demo coming out I'd like to point everybody to the "ctrl" and the "F" button on their keyboards, as well as the search feature on these boards.

Wee Aja Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Although I agree with you in point elgreenio, SI could save a lot of hassle by at least giving an "estimated system requirements" for FM09. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oroborus Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I agree about the system requirements. I think it's only fair considering the release date is approaching and how excited many people are about this game. As for the duplicate thread issue; deep breaths and ignore.

backpackant Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 It's just the latest trend. There will be a whole host of other people in a couple of months who can't be bothered using the search button. Recently we've had: "When's the announcement coming?" "Will FM09 be 3d?" or variants. "Shots to goal ratio" (or the "it's my tactics but I don't want to admit it" threads) "Board confidence" (also see "Stupid chairmen" and "My best player just got sold for £1.99). I suspect we will soon have: "How do I download the demo?" "Why is the demo so slow?" "Where do I install the demo?" Closely followed by: "I just bought the game and it's brilliant." "I just bought the game and it's utter rubbish." "I Just bought the game... is this a bug...?" (followed by the same problem over and over) "The 3D match engine is brilliant." "The 3D match engine is utter rubbish." "The transfer system is totally unrealistic." "Regens are still not good enough." And, er... "When's FM10 due out?"

Richard76 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I think the min/rec computer requirements should have been released already. But yes, I see your point. Not really worth another pointless thread though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triple-j Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 As usual I'll be waiting for you guys to test it. Two things still really f*ck me off about FM08, the goalscoring defender corner bug and the ridiculous amount of goals teams and crap players score in the Championship, where you have about 15 strikers with rubbish stats score 30 goals a season. I'll buy in January when the 2nd patch is out, I've learnt my FM lesson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oroborus Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I can't imagine the 3D engine being that demanding, especially when you consider how many people play this game. I can't imagine a Crysis situation emerging, lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neji Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 It's not worth worrying about. FM09's graphics are far from special, they not on par with FIFA Manager's graphics which only require a 64MB GPU, so if you can play 08, my guess is you can play 09 even with the 3D.

glamdring Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Unless you are going to upgrade your computer or buy a new one you don't need to know the specs before you get the game! I also subscribe to the "attention seeking" argument for people who start new threads about subjects that have already had millions of threads about them.

glamdring Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Well, I guess for those who like to pre-order the game they may need them, but I see no point in pre-ordering a game so if people choose to do that they'll have to make do with whatever the specs are!

oroborus Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 If you are unable to access the shops, whether that be due to a hectic schedule or even a disability and you want it on the day of release, then I think that's a reasonable point to pre-ordering an item.

Nomis07 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 My problem with asking about specs is simple, if you find out before release it doesn't make a difference it will either work or it won't. If you're really concerned about it don't preorder, go on release day and read the back of the box, simple as. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to pre-order it a month in advance though. Why not pre-order 1 week in advance? Sure it might cost more, but then that's the way it goes - pros and cons either way!

solstar Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 There used to be system requirements on older versions of the game, CM I believe. this should be revived for FM. It helps, it may make people consider certain upgrades which they may not be aware of. Especially newbies who may buy the game and then realise that it doesn't work all that well. This could save them hassle and reduce the amount of annoying messages you see ont he forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
