Thats how it should be for all games, especially nowadays when they're all digital and there's no scarcity. It was different when there were only so many physical copies of a game available in the shops, but that's just not the case now. Its just sensible to wait and see. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eoin Maguire Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago So today is the day. If we don't see any match engine or how the UI works/flows today, it will be a terrible sign as to where SI are at rn with 25. The fact that pre orders are scheduled to start today suggests that they should be showing stuff that will make people want to buy the game (new ME/UI etc), but if they don't show us any of that and still expect pre orders, that shows a lack of care for the customer and that they just expect people to buy the game regardless of what state it's in. I really hope it's not the latter... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domoboy23 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) My first experience of FM was actually CM99. Since FM05 I believe I've then ordered each copy for release or pre-ordered when that became a thing for beta, early access etc. This year won't be any different. From 05 to now of course there's been editions I've loved (12, 13, 24 spring to mind), some I've really not liked (14,18,22) and some which have been middle of the road. When I think about the amount of hours, days, weeks and probably months spent on each edition and spread those over the course of the nearly 20 years... I can say I have value for money. So I don't have any qualms about pre-ordering. If I don't enjoy the game then sure, very disappointing for the year. But the disappointment would be focused on the game itself and enjoyment factor (or lack of) and not on my wallet. I certainly don't and wouldn't feel ripped off financially if a release isn't to my liking or anticipated standard, and as others have said, you can pre-order (or not) whenever you'd like in the information/release stage!

KillYourIdols Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago I say this every year, and its relevent for me and can't comment on anyone else, but for £30, Its going to be value for money to me. Will be be the best ever? Probably not. Will it be Rubbish? Possibly. Will I end up doing, lets say, 100 hours on it? Almost certainly. Thats 30p an hour. I'll waste that on a friday night and forget about it by the Saturday morning. Financially, low risk for the entertainment and I enjoy the Beta period. I don't see how its any different to people blindly attending the Premier of their favourite new movie franchise without seeing reviews/spoilers.

davehanson Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago You can cancel you pre-order from Steam anytime up to two weeks AFTER it releases as long as you have no more than 2 hours playtime. The critical part is that Beta access to a game doesn't count towards playtime - so you can pre-order, play the Beta and if you don't like it refund.

yerug Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) Not a fan of this litle info with all the big talk of huge steps for the next game. I think its not what gaming fans expect anymore. Many games are now live service games, and many others are very good at keeping players in the loop. So idk, this fm year feels a bit demotivating to me right now. Thats the feeling im heving. Certainly not hype, thats for sure Edit: Just saw the roadmap. Im not boarding this train this year. Im gonna play many other games instead!
