BARNESDON Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 There are bound to be a few bugs and annoying glitches to start with, how long is it before the first patch is released? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Usually 2 weeks to a month after release. Last year it was a month before a full patch was released iirc, but a beta patch was released before then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cityull Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I really hope there isn't too many bugs in this game. This promises to be one of the best PC games ever! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reider84 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 How ridiculous is it to be talking about when a patch will be released for a game that hasn't even been released itself yet. The game may not even need a patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahmufcwafc Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I guarantee that it will need a patch. I second that. No chance the game will be perfect, it will have it's bugs. Hopefully they won't be as bad as FM08's bugs, & I'm confident that they wont be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJRigg Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Nothing can be as bad as FM08 pre patch! It was horrendous, but after the second patch it became the best in the series in my opinion, apart from CM2 of course, which I loved and still play whenever I can Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Git Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 FM games that have an odd year instead of an even year in the title need less patching. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 FM games that have an odd year instead of an even year in the title need less patching. Yeah but I doubt that will ever happen as SI need the money from FM sales to stay in business Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreddeCM Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Patch nr1 is unfortunately not enough if you looking back years in time. Im waiting for patch 2. BUT i am looking forward to the new 3D engine, it will take FM to a new level for sure. I going to play it whitout any patch at all this year (until the release of them ofcorse), **** bugs.

Jason_A Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Definitely will be bugs. Hopefully, as others' have said, it won't be as bad as FM08. However, with this new 3d engine and as always new features, then there could be many bugs. We'll see... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Monkey Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Come on, seriously? The game has only just gone gold, the demo isn't even out yet & you're asking about the 1st patch? I honestly do not get some people. Yes the game will undoubtedly need patching, but why don't we try to wait until at least having played the demo a fair bit before thinking about patches. The simple answer, of course, if the question is taken seriously is it will be released when sufficient bugs have been found, fixed, tested, tweaked, tested (etc, etc) & then it will be released.

By far the best of the old CM's, surely? :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kreman Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I think the game will be released and it will be absolutely perfect, completely free of any bugs and there will be no need for a patch! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff PaulC Posted October 31, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted October 31, 2008 As ever, we will support the game to the best of our ability. I really don't like the word "patch" anyway - for me its the developer allowing the user to update the software they paid good money for, quickly and easily. When we release these updates we often improve and fine tune small bits and pieces as well as fix bugs. In these days of mass broadband I think there are no excuses for a developer not to do stuff like this. No game can be 100% perfect on release anyway, its pointless trying to pretend otherwise. At the same time we wont lose sight of the fact people buying a game from a store or online deserve it to be up to scratch from the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost inevitable there will be one, but you are right, too early for such a daft question. May as well ask when FM2010 is out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmurfDude Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 By the looks of it the first thing that will need tweaking is the flashing box when a goal is scored in the 3D view. It should flash when the ball is over the line, not before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should flash when the ball is over the line, not before That just means you won't be caught on camera getting all excited before the ball crosses the line Seen a few managers jump up and down before pulling their hair out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BARNESDON Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 going from the past 3 years, it will need a patch, and it will improve the overal game a hell of alot. it was a question based on the fact that i want the game to be as good as possible asap as it will no doubt prove a little frustrating to start with. i will want the second patch with all of the updated transfers aswell. some of you need to lighten up and stopped trying to be hard behind your pc's you gimps!
