TheArsenal63 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Some on here are too invested in the game (as was I at some point before I realised it's going to be constantly tweaked until March anyway so might as well wait). You should realise that this is what the game is, there's enough evidence to show you what is their methodology and approach to updates and what they consider a playable game. Make your purchase decision based on that. Can you tolerate it or live with those flaws? If not, you are most likely wasting your time and energy trying to change how a company operates and approaches it's release/updates. And some others are strangely too invested in controlling how/what people say on here and being a bit hostile to people's feedback if they deem it too negative. That's the mods job to moderate the conversation if it gets too out of hand, if you are not a mod, let people have their say and carry on. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the reasons have been clearly demonstrated within this topic. Damned if they do, damned if they don't. This happens everywhere. With FM, with Football, with movies, with everything. I think that the excuse of SI not being in contact with us in these forums, is getting bit old. As I said before, toxic fans always exists with Devs being in contact with us or not. And I guarantee you that moderators are fairly quickly to kill any sort of toxic replies. This is the way! it was the devs that decided to have this policy of keeping everything a secret. I for one, don't agree with this, I think at least some dev interviews or telling us something about patches, that have been delayed because they found a gamebreaking bug and are trying to fix it or say everything is on schedule, so expect the patch in march (dates can change depending how tests proceed). People are fairly quickly to blame the users in this community for the current situation (I know we can be part of the problem (I even lash out in these forum before, when frustration speaks louder)) but devs don't exactly have spotless record (prime example is Miles as he has lash out to fans). 1 hour ago, CFuller said: It's ironic that you say "the company must work with us, not against us" when it's users like YOU who are trying to create an "us vs them" mentality. Again, just because some users are bit harsh in their choice of words, shouldn't be the excuse for the devs to be scared of their community. There are always going to be harsh replies, that is inevitable. There moderators for to handle those situations. There is a divide between this community and the devs. Devs may even blame of toxic community, but it was their choice to go this route and now the moderators and others users have to deal with consequences of this mounting frustration. I do recall the forums before this policy came to effect, while we had trolls and toxic users, I for one think the community was far better back then, then it is now. If it wasn't for handful of users that in their free time contribute helping others, these forums would be dead. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of unfixed bugs that continue to exist from previous version has stopped me and others from playing that is a fact that cannot be ignored. His take is just plain wrong. Lots of people play this game in lots of different ways. I know/chat online with people that only Instant Result the games because they don't have much time to play, so the ME for them has no problems, and honestly how could they find problems if they don't see it? The same for me and some of the stats areas, I don't know if they work properly or not because I don't use it that much. I like to create tactics, see them play on the field. That's my reason for playing this game (and squad and staff building) and I watch it in comprehensive, so I see a lot of stuff that pisses me off and I said it before in the feedback thread my main grievances. Also, I look for it, but I feel like there is not that much content of FM this year both on youtube or written (although Cleon came back, which is a big positive), or the content has a more negative tone around it. Now on my more personal experience, the people around that play the game (family and some friends) and usually send me prints of their saves, this year they don't do it, some play one season and say it's enough and that are mega frustrated. Of course I have negative feelings around the game, but the uncommon part is that everyone around me doesn't like the game to the point of going months without playing it. Yes, SI may have sold lots of games, but I don't see the next edition selling as much. Just my two cents. Edited March 1, 2023 by josel15 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

we88y Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 One thing I find crazy about these updates is they do them so infrequently that we are just expected to deal with the state of the game after the upcoming patch until we are invited to pay another £40 for Fm24. If SI only want to do updates to this schedule then why not have a testing version for things like the Match Engine which really need to be tested over a good number of people and matches to truly understand the effect of each M.E updates because it's clear SI aren't fully sure of the outcome. I don't think it would be difficult to get users to sign up to a community test version, lots of other games have used this method in the past. That being said I'm looking forward to the update but certainly frustrated with SI & FM as a whole. FM23 has really opened my eyes and changed my opinion on the state of the franchise I love. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fëanáro Míriel Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 A lot of people keep saying the reason developers keep things quiet is toxic community, but as far as i can tell this one of the tamest communities in gaming. Every year all people want is a better match engine, even though it can't be perfect and please everybody, they want to see it being worked on and it comes down to the way they update the game. The way thing are right now might be working fine for the developers but it annoys players because we have to wait sooo long between patches. Some minor updates here and there would go a long way to calming people down i think. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreambuilder Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) Next year I'm not doing this waiting for starting a new save again hehe My plan for FM24 and the years to come after: 1) Beta: learn the new features thoroughly while bugs are cleared. If needed, continue main save from previous version. 2) FM24 full game: Start new main save. 3) If I want any other save, start it anyway with latest official version even if theres a week until patch because waiting is less fun. 4) Repeat.

My plan is slightly different though: 1) wait until the winter update is out and start a short-term save 2) wait until the very last update for FM 23 is out, finally start my long term saves and continue them until March/April 2024 when FM 24 is 100% updated, and only then buy it 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
