neil220779 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I think we all know what is meant here by "playable" It is playable, but probably the most flawed of the FM series.

I only wish that in few years FM will have some competition, couse it looks like that's the only way for this game to improve. SI introduced many new (stupid) features like match day experience, facegen, confidence.....instead of improving those which haven't changed for years/ need improvement (team talks, media, player interaction, training, tactics, commentary). as the resoult we have plenty of features which are half-done or don't work at all.

I like winning. To win I cheat a little. I use fm scout for bargains and i download tactics, since i really don't have patience for the trial and error of making a tactic. For five, six years i do it, and i enjoy it. I don't mean winning it all with a team that should be relegated, but winning the champions league with fiorentina after three years or transforming tottenham in a top 4 side. This version of fm so isn't being very pleasent for me. No tactic seems to work well. When i'm with a small team, i can win from man utd but cant get a draw with derby, when i'm with a good team my strikers play like crap and five or six games per season I lose in the final minutes with the opposition with one goal and one shot on goal. But i realise that maybe fm is not for me anymore. I'm not gonna criticise SI for making a very good simulation just because i can't win when i'm always critising other companys for making arcadish sports games. I aim for a middle term where realism goes with fun, you cant win with wigan in the first season, but maybe in three years or so of good signings you can compete... Actually, you can do it in fm right now, but it just demands the kind of micromanagement that i dont have patience to do. So, maybe realism, in the level that Fm reflects now, just frustrates. I gues IRL managers gets frustrated all of the time, but they don't hav that quit bottom. The one i'm starting to use morre frequently now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 To me it seems that if a question like this needs to be asked or gets asked, then there is something seriously wrong with the game. Right? I mean, a game is meant to be playable. It only exists to be played.

heathxxx Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Playable, but hugely dissapointing and bug ridden IMO. I am patient to a certain degree regarding the wait for patches, but when you consider that if the "definitive" patch, to fix the majority of major issues of "playability" is'nt due unil February, raises questions about the "value" of the product. February is 5 months from the original release date. This means that if SI launch an new game every 12 months, the fully "playable" lifespan of the game is only 7 months. I've been very happy with all the SI made releases from CM1 back in the good old days, but FM08 has made me reconsider if I will buy the product again, until I can be confident it's a more polished and finished product. I think had I read the forums BEFORE buying FM08, I might not have bought it. Everybody makes mistakes and I'm sure that SI will do their level best to ensure that FM09 encounters less problems, well, hoping so anyway. That being said though, I for one will be waiting to see what the general (constructive, non-rant ) feedback is like before buying again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcussy Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Completely unplayable IMO. Played out of the box and gave up after a day. Beta patch arrived - The same thing, played for a day and then gave up. Full patch - same thing. I've gone back to 7.0.2 and will definitely be checking out the forums next year before I consider wasting my money again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
