Neil Dejyothin Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Originally posted by Oakland:Hi guys, just a few words from a Mac-female-user (am I the only woman here?) First of all, thanks a lot to Mike and Neil who are losing their time with us poor addicted... And a question: would it be thinkable in the future to have the possibility to specify the player's gender, and maybe to have the pronouns, etc, changing accordingly? Take care guys (and girls), S. No problem at all. Onto your question, yes, it's something we would like to address in the future although it's actually not as easy to do as it sounds. To put it bluntly, we were a little on the naive side with how we went about implementing text and translations all those years ago in what has now become "Football Manager". We've made great strides since then of course and continue to improve this side of things, particularly for when we translate the game into other languages which also have gender based arguments. The game though has literally thousands of lines of text and they are all split up into little chunks of text and code and then concatenated together, which is where it becomes difficult as you have to get lots of "logic" right to make sure the text knows what context its in. I hope that made some sense, but it's on our agenda definitely! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can find them here (sorry on the PC at the moment, so this is off the top of my head). You should probably trash the "Sports Interactive" folder here to see if that helps: /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Sports Interactive/ The expiry date issue, thanks for raising that.

meter Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 musint-the beta patch is for boxed versions of FM. You have the Digital Download which will take a different patch.

After the beta patch, I NOW CAN NOT PLAY IT BECAUSE I NEED THE CD?? WTF Unless your Digital Download came boxed in some way, I think you might have made a mistake. " There will be many different versions of the "beta" patch available for the different variations of the game. As these become available, the game name will be in bold lettering. Football Manager 2008 PC boxed - http://download.sega.com/u/fm2008_patch/fm2008_801_betapatch.exe Football Manager 2008 Mac boxed - http://download.sega.com/u/fm2008_patch/fm2008_801_betapatch.dmg WWSM 2008 PC boxed - coming soon (likely early next week) WWSM 2008 Mac boxed - coming soon (likely early next week) WWSM 2008 Digital Download - coming soon (likely early next week) Futbol Manager 2008 Digital Download - coming soon (likely early next week) The reason for them being available at different times is that the different versions all need different installers, which take quite a bit of time to build, and also need to be tested (the installer) before we can make them live. We appreciate your patience during this time, and they will all go live as soon as we can get them done. " I think it wasn't the best of ideas to release this test beta patch, it just confuses people with all the versions and there will always be complainers '...and yet another download! come on SI get it straight... bla bla' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
