Phil M Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 How buggy is this year’s version compared to previous years? I’ve been playing FMT ever since it has been available on the iPad but last year’s release was a disaster. It took about 3-4 months before the game was at the quality it should have been for release and it still has unfixed bugs. I spent quite a lot of time uploading save files and filing bug reports on here and don’t fancy doing the same again this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oleg8979 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 After FMT 18 (disaster), I will be smarter now and wait for 3rd patch (19.3), before that I will continue with FMT 18. SI don't pay me for QA, so lets give somebody else to find and report bugs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loren1983 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 In my opinion FMT19 is today (10/11/2018) unplayable. Training is totally broken (my players never trains) and the Attribute masking DLC brokes the scouting module. In my opinion the worst launch of a FMT. I hope they fix it son...

Phil M Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 Given that FMT doesn’t really change year on year (it shouldn’t really as it needs to remain simpler than the main game), you would expect it to get more stable over time but it seems like it’s not the case. The main game isn’t as buggy at launch, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the full version, but in FMT SI even introduce new bugs which can be easily spotted after 10 minutes of QA - like inability to choose manager's experience / reputation when starting new career.

2481 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 It's got a lot of fairly significant bugs, especially when compared with the more recent iterations of the game. It feels unfinished compared with last year's version, which was quite solid from launch. I also feel the UI is not well designed. The lack of being able to set your reputation is a massive omission imho, and I've encountered loads of bugs with club history/records etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil M Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 I was still posting about FMT18 bugs in Feb/March so it doesn’t give me much hope for this year’s version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah wow. I had a fairly good experience with FMT18, but to be fair I can't really remember when that version became properly stable This year's has been just straight frustration from the get go. Didn't even get a youth intake in 1st season of my current save, which is a youth-focused save... I'd give FMT19 a solid 5/10 and that's it. Wish I hadn't been so patient and could still get a refund.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
uroszila Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I agree with you guys. I know that developers made a revamp of the FMT19, but I didn't expect that the finished product will have some many bugs at the release. What frustrates me the most is that QA didn't see such obvious glitches as manager experience, training, youth intake etc. A lot of users warned about these bugs already in the beta phase but nothing has been changed since then. I'm also switching back to FMT18 at least until they give back the option to chose manager experience at the beginning of the save. Sorry to say this, but in my opinion game with these bugs isn't playable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil M Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 I see there are even bugs in this version that were also in FMT18: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oleg8979 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Guys, can you see some pattern which repeats itself year after year? On the release date (version 1) the game is so buggy, almost unplayable. People report bugs and SI releases some hotfix (version 1.1) or even two. At december-january there is a major update (version 2) which fixes most of the bugs but often introduces new ones. After the newly created bugs reported, SI releases more hotfixes or two (version 2.1, 2.2 etc). And finally, at March there is a data update plus major bugs fix, most of the bugs from versions 1 and 2 are fixed now and we have playable and (almost) bugs free version 3. Sometimes new bugs introduced again, but SI don't fix anymore, may be just some minor and unimportant patches like Facebook related stuff (??), they rush to the new version (to be released at October-November). And we remain with almost finished but still undercooked product until the next year's version 3. Never finished 100%. Hope they will not ban me now. But it is my opinion. The question is - why on release date the product cannot be like version 3? I mean, there is no bugs free soft in the world, but at least playable and stable. And then they can fix the bugs in patch or two and give us finished product? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s an accurate description of how it’s felt to be a FMT player over the last few years. I love the idea of FMT - something in between the full version and the mobile version - but the execution has been poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not very demanding with this kind of things, but this year is the worst FMT launch in my opinion. I trust SIGAMES team. I hope they fix it son. Is the first time that I have to stop playing a FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafaelbenitez Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Match engine needs some work. Just unable to get my players to execute decent football and this seems to be acknowledged by SI with regard to forward movement. Going back to FMT17 now as I didn't spend much time on that vetsion. Hopefully ME is fixed soon. Think I'll come back after the January window update. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samelders86 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 IMO there are still some bugs making it unplayable, But that is because I’m playing in the Dutch first division and they messed up the playoff system and the transfermarket in the Dutch Leagues (outgoing transfers of De Jong and Lozano for 25 million).. I think most of the other bugs are solved.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this episode: - nerfed crossing - bugged individual training - bugged fixtures - various interface bugs So, as always, wait for the "November update".
