TheMister Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I'm not sure when to start the save I have in mind for FM10, and was wondering how everyone else approaches it. Do you start your 'big' save when the the new edition is released and just patch as you go along. Or do you wait until the first or the last patch is issued? It'd be nice to start on release day - but it's asking for trouble too! What do YOU do? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hehehemann Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I will wait until the 2nd patch is released. First patch will improve things but bring in extra bugs. The second patch will fix these extra bugs and a few minor problems. Seems to be like this every release. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cityull Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I will start a game straight away and go on it till i get bored, if there is a new patch you can carry on with your game as normal anyway. (last time you could anyway) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second patch will fix these extra bugs and a few minor problems. Seems to be like this every release. Of course that's logical, and what we should really do. But aren't you ever itching to get going?? if there is a new patch you can carry on with your game as normal anyway. (last time you could anyway) I know that when you do that it fixes bugs (obviously! LOL), but will the fixes to competitions take place without restarting the game. I don't mind missing the January data update and getting the ME patched to the latest, but I'd hate if competition bugs still existed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bardock Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I don't buy the game til there is a general consensus that the game isn't too bug ridden. I'll stick with 09 til then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grec Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Meh, I'll wait till FM11. College life is already expensive enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsoluteGenius Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I start a save in the Premiership for practice, and then I move onto my preferred La Liga save with Barcelona. But I will only buy the game after I've seen the reaction on here. It will be obvious if there are major bugs; there'll be a hundred threads on them.

TheMister Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 February . Because you expect it to be patched appropriately by then? Or because February just appeals to you at the moment? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhroX Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Usually the first patch for me. I spend the time before it playing around, getting used to the changes. Couldn't wait until Feb before starting my long term career game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ely-matty Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 i'll buy the game on 30th october. i'll start with inter, i'll play 2-3 seasons and then i'll take Spezia (c2/a) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heelswxman Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I'll start my preferred save as soon as I get the entire German football system built using the new editor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayahr Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I always start a game right away with Newcastle and then carry on with it as long as it's fun or until I'm sacked. In some years this first one becomes my 'preferred' save and just goes on and on while in others it remains an episode from the first few weeks. On FM09 it was the preferred one, I carried on until winning everything one year. Then I couldn't be arsed to carry on and started something new with Bröndby IF. Anyway, I never center the answer to the question about what my preferred save is around patches unless the game proves to be deficient pre-patch. For FM10 I'm somewhat optimistic that there should not be an urgent need for a patch as this is the polish version with not too many new features.

Legionaire Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Try different nation's leagues at first, then start the long career save after the last patch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elrithral Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 That could just be indigestion Na I haven't eaten anything in days, just done hard drugs and drank booze, can't be indigestion. Seriously though, I admire your optimism and jayahr's. A polish of 09 doesn't sound all that interesting to me as I didn't really enjoy 09. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everton Ninjas Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I start with a PL side to get used to it. Work on tactics etc.. Then once I'm happy the game is patched up enough to run smoothly I start a big one with AFC Wimbledon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swindon69 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Once I've got the structure right in England - including the very early rounds of the Cup/Trophy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I'll try a season with a big team and a season with a little team to get the feel of the ME and new tactics wizard, and other new features. By that time patch fixes should be out, and new leagues available for download. Then I'll take some English. Scottish, or Fijian pubteam and plug away with MY team until FM11.

grep Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I want to play the demo first, before answering. Anyway I am under the impression I'll wait for the first strong patch to start the game seriously. With FM09 for example I appreciated a lot the first 2 patches but I hated the 9.3 and eventually I went back to 9.2. This means IMO that the first patch is fundamental ( cause customers act like betatesters but it is fine for me ) , the second one further tune the stuff and the third one may exceed and ruin the match engine or add weird stuff and it fixex minor bugs mostly.

gstarblues Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I will play the demo and but it upon release regardless of if i like the demo it would really take a lot for me not to buy it. I always start straight away with Rangers and just patch as I go usually get about 12 seasons in then I start with a new game with a new team. avoiding fmrte as (which I installed last week) it ruins the game for me to much time cheating and tinkering.
