Stemlfc65 Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 I am a big FM fan but for the past 3 years I seem to barely play the game until post transfer market patch. I think this year it's mainly because of the bugs and problems I've had with it. Does anyone else seem to play it more after the patch? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackemmad Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I dont usually wait but i am waiting for the new patch to come out before starting a new game. I hope its not going to be to ong. Does anyone know when its coming out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldinter Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 That's how it was for me with FM2007. I started playing it seriously in March. I was eagerly anticipating FM2008 but I haven't played at all because my PC is showing its age and the graphics weren't available at the start. I will probably start a long career with a Conference team once the patch is released. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klamer Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I don't play it anymore. Played the game for a week, but now I'm waiting for the patch. What have I learned? I won't buy FM09 before march next year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivne Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Since SI want to implement the transfers during the Jan08 window, the 802 patch should come out in the upcoming few weeks, possibly toward mid-end Feb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 For me the game with the 8.0.1 patch is 97% fine - just the closing down bug irritates, but not to the extent that it spoils the game. I'm well into a career so prolly won't start a new game with the 8.0.2 for a few months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alurny Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I didn't play 07' properly until 7.02, i struggled much in the way I have with 08', it just doesn't feel right at the moment. On 7.02 I had my best ever FM game though so I live in hope! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebsy Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Every year I buy FM around February/March time when all the patches are out Also nicely down in price by then also Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
postal postie Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 i'm not specifically waiting for the patch although of course i will be playing it after the patch comes out. i wont be restarting straight away though as i've been enjoying the saves i've been playing currently anyway.

eXistenZ Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Still it remains a disgrace that a game is only playable only 6 months afther his release. and even that is not yet sure. I bought S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 3 months afther it's release and there were already two patches out which fixed the most bugs( and there were a lot in) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnerfan Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 If the new patch fixes the XML parsing problem, I will definitely start a new game. If not, I'll probably only start a new game if the other problems have been addressed AND you need to start a new game in order to make the changes effective. As it happens, I started about 4 or 5 games in 07 before the 7.0.2 patch, and only one after it came out, one of my longer career games since I started playing CM/FM.

JohnPM Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 why don't SI give us a patch now? I don't care about the January transfers, as I won't use them anyway. So why not let us have a patch now, so I can play a game I bought months ago? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnerfan Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Well, first of all, many FM gamers want the January transfers. Secondly, we don't know which is taking longer, the transfers or other patching that has to be done. Steady on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkTCfc Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 If i update to patch 8.0.1 will i still be able to continue the game i started with 8.0.0 ???? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deva-Stated Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Maybe the transfers should be a separate patch to dl, if you've signed a player who moves in the window does he dissapear from your side, that doesn't sound ideal?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I am saying is release an earlier pact without them. They have enough of our money to work a bit harder Sorry about the sarcastic remarks before! I get wound up about this game lol and the fact is, that for the first time (since Champ Man 1) I feel like the game was better with last year's version. IMHO 2008 has taken a step back (gameplay and bugs wise). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnerfan Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 In terms of bugs, there are a couple that really drive me batty. The XML parsing error is the worst, but the fixture rescheduling was pretty bad, too. In terms of gameplay, the match engine clearly has some problems, and they seem to have become worse since 8.0.1. But there are other aspects of the game that I like very much, and overall I think it's a better game than 7.0.2. This is the first version in which I've used the 1 week trial so extensively. For some reason, scouts respond with fewer attributes than they used to, so with unsigned players, the only way to see all their attributes before signing them is to get them in for a trial. My pre-season training session looked like I was holding open tryouts! As for getting wound up, don't worry about it. I find this version to be the most addictive in years simply because I can't rest without solving the tactical problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
