F.Inzaghi Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Does anyone know of a way to save your shortlist of players? Going to start a new game once patch is out but don't wanna lose some jazz players I have found. And I can't be bothered to write down on paper the players then type them into the game again in the new one. PLEASE say there is a way! Go to your shortlist, down to right is a little box, there you can choose Save Shortlist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshpmilton Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I am playing at the moment and enjoying it but just need the patch to save me from the injuries. It's pretty harsh when your a big club and you lose your top players but when you're in the basement divisions and you have say two good players and they get injured for 2/3 months then you suddenly go from mid-table to relegation fodder without any budget to do anything about it.

johno7 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 a whole weekend wasted waiting for the bloody patch, tried playing but i have 13 first teamers out its ridiculous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy24 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hmm, used to give SI some serious points for releasing PC and Mac game together, and treating them more or less equally. May have to revise that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johno7 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 some excellent players that you only have to pay compensation for are bostock at spurs, rossi at juve and saivet (hes still **** hot). also assulin at barcelona is only about 1 mil and he will be class too. anyone got any others Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambolt Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I think we should cut SI some slack on the Mac patch. Obviously some unforeseen events occurred on Friday, otherwise it would have been released then. It seems to me that this could just as easily have been the other way around, and the fact that the patch is out this close to release day is actually quite remarkable in itself. At the risk of sounding grandfather-ish: when I started playing CM years ago I had to play it in a DOS emulator on the Mac. Later, when a third company made a Mac version, it came out a couple of months after the PC game. So having to wait three days for the patch isn't really that big a deal. I do, however, think we are entitled to question how well SI test the Mac version of the game itself prior to release. The ctrl-click bug is a rather big (and obvious) one, and should have been picked up by someone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ando THFC Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I'm as frustrated as anyone waiting for the Mac patch but some of the moaning this morning has been a bit daft. As someone said above, the reason we had to wait till Monday was obviously so the staff could get back to work, so a midnight release was never going to happen. Also, if it was half an hour's work to get it out, I'm sure someone could have sorted it friday night. I'll be checking all day but let's be realistic.

I am sorry but feel the moaning is completly justified why release a game when it still isnt 100% finished SI have said they have been working on this version of the game for three years therefore they have had 3 years to get the game ready for release on 14th November 2009 and they havnt managed to do this therefore i feel every1 on this thread has the right to voice their frustration.

johno7 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 mate im being realistic, i bought a game on friday that didnt work because it hadnt been tested sufficiently.

You haven't quite bothered to understand have you.

Yes i completly understand but why is it daft to think 9am release is too much to ask the amount of money they have made out of us all by buying the game on Friday you would think they would be willing to put abit of effort in and if it ment them working over the weekend then so be it!

Also, if it was half an hour's work to get it out, I'm sure someone could have sorted it friday night. I'll be checking all day but let's be realistic. To be completely truthful we're just following expectations which SI have themselves set. They've gladly taken pats on the back from the Mac crowd when they've released the game on the same day with no extra problems on the Mac than there where on the PC, so they should also be as willing to take the flak when they don't meet that standard. Obviously most of us still think there doing a great job, it's just that where all very keen to have the Patch as soon as possible, especcially those who (like me) set time aside to play the game after release.

Onkster Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 they should have been working all weekend, not clocking out at 5pm on friday Not sure how that would have helped, SI could have been in all weekend, pulled a 72hour shift, but the patch would still be waiting on SEGA. Please remember that SEGA have to do the final checks, so assuming SI will already have got the patch to them, having a go at SI won't help. Same with updating this board, SI's latest may well be it's with SEGA and should be released (assuming no faults are found) today, they're probably waiting for and are just as eager for an update as we are.

wolfie. Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 i personally dont see why people are saying we should give them a break. lets see. in the months leading up to release, did they NOT REALISE 1. the right click bug 2. setting of 3d is only on low 3. Havning graphic card issues ESPECIALLY as MACS dont have a a big range of cards in their machines it should have been easier and quicker to code right from the start. sure injury bugs and all that could be unforseen, as its also on the pc side, BUT those 3 issues i listed, basically shows they didnt spend much time or energy on the mac release.

I'm not even starting to say that SI/Sega have handled this well or that they have treated their customers well. My only point is that, given the facts we were aware of i.e work would not start again on the mac patch until Monday morning, it was never going to be released at 9am. I'm not saying that's acceptable, I'm just saying that's how it was going to be. Now, can we get back to having a go at Miles or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macfolder Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Well, I have a macbook intel core 2 duo, 2 GB ram etc. And I'm wondering why the game "lags" so much to me? It's seems like FM 09 takes a lot of CPU or something. Besides, does someone know how to use the "hot-corners" while playing in fullscreen? Or is it just a fact that I have to play windowed? Any ideas? Hope I can get some answers in this this forum. PS: Can someone say for sure that the patch will come out today (Monday 17/11)?

darkmasteruk Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I just wanted to add my piece to this whole debate/Si slating- I saved up my hours at work so that i could take a whole friday off to sit in front of the tv playing fm until i had to go back to work on monday, girlfriend put to one side and just me, my mac and hours drifting away in the world of fm. My issue is that you should not release an unfinished game and also , you should not be telling people at the nd of a working day that there will be no patch when ot was previously said there would be, a small amount of warning earlier on friday would have stopped many of us constantly refreshing the forum/download page! i hope Si are going to compensate me for my repetitive strain injury caused by the refreshing i had to do!
