You weren't expecting a FM release without several hundred (thousand) bugs were you???

Bargain! So, how much for an Xbox so you can play it? :icon_wink

Bugs yes, but 3 complete leagues not able to work, no. It's not good enough, utter shoddy work from SI.

As usual then. You'll recall that MLS and the entire Belgian league was utterly unplayable last time round until the final patch. That's why I never buy it until it's actually finished (in fact, I may not at all this year. Far too much going on in the real world for me to immerse myself in a game which hasn't been coded properly). There is always a string of bugs, one of which renders at least one whole country unplayable.

I got FM at the weekend and I'm not sure about it at all. Every game I play I seem to end up with a player injured and they are then injured for some time. I'm Leicester and just coming up to Christmas in my first season but already I have Steve Howard out for three months, Lloyd Dyer for three months, Matty Fryatt for five months :icon_eek:, Jack Hobbs for two, Weso for two, Andy King for three and Gilbert for three. Due to losing my strikers I loaned in Michael Chopra who got a 7.90 and a goal in his first game - but got injured and is out for 5 months!!!! Hard work this game, I prefer 08.

You got the latest patches? I know in '08 it was practically impossible to win a game without the first patch.

See? Might as well wait till next April when the final patch comes out and it's playable.

After promotion in the first season, I started off the Championship season and was in 4th place after about 10 games. Now we are approaching christmas and I have dropped to 18th. Having about 20 different nationalities probably doesn't help. I've got Jerzy Dudek and Julio Cruz coming in January though so hopefully they will help me push up to midtable.

I'm 17th as well, just finished January. Have sold Kisnorbo for £3.5m because he was doing shite, and used the money to buy a striker called Marcelo Moreno and in his first game forged a great partnership with Julio Cruz, scoring 3 goals between them to beat Watford 3-0. I've got Collins John coming for free at the end of the season.
Also signed Danny Murphy for 20K in January and he has done well so far, playing well in the middle with Ferrie Bodde.
