I work in software development too, and I can tell you you're full of it. Every whiner in here is insufferable. But to get to the point: The game does not have "major bugs". Major bugs are ones where the game crashes or doesn't start or has UI elements that don't work. Major bugs were when CM4 showed up and the game result would change after half-time. These things don't happen with FM. Defenders occasionally making a mistake or a bit more often than usual is not a "major bug". As a software developer, you should know this. Software estimates are hard - something you yourself point out. There are too many unknown unknowns, though SI does have the luxury of knowing their domain entirely and working essentially on one product for a few platforms. They're not that much affected by external forces, like some other IT companies are. And of course they use their previous experience, why the hell do you think they don't? The game is definitely "playable". Unless you got zero hours out of it since you bought it, you have played your heart out of it. With football in general, everyone will have their own idea on what it's "supposed" to look like, even more so with simulated football, so you will never be entirely happy with any football simulation until you learn to relax and have fun, and give a pat on the back to your fellow developers that try to simulate a game that, in real life, has rules open to interpretations and opinions. It's an impossible task they've taken on themselves and their end result is phenomenal and yet, here you are, taking a dump on it. As a client, you're, again, insufferable.

Well, were the punches being thrown or not, where the hell did the commentary get that from? [edit] Oh and, back in the days of CM, I bought Emile William Ivanhoe Heskey and the first thing he did was punch the referee and get a three-month ban. I hate to say it, but those were the days. Now we get to promise them they'll play as a left ball-playing central defender with squad status of regular starter and ask them to "shoot more often". Bleh.

Try going on holiday for a day.

Ok, making fake mistakes that look real in video games is incredibly difficult, people will always say it doesn't look real and it would never happen like that in real life. But your two cases you posted here look very real to me, like honest to God lapses in concentration. These things happen like this IRL a lot. I haven't bought the game yet (first time I didn't get it on release) because I don't see any convincing reason to upgrade, so I can't comment on the other things, but the two examples look really well done to me.

Uhm, it's all in there when you actually click the link. I can't be bothered to think about what it all means, though.

Ok, so the 3060Ti GPU clock goes up to 1665MHz, and yours is at 975MHz in that screenshot, and out of the 975MHz, the usage is 85%. 975MHz is a little less than 60% of the actual full GPU usage, so your card's processor is really running at about 50% of the actual possible 100% output. As for the memory, the clock is at its maximum 1750MHz, but you can see the memory controller load is only 20%. So in total, about 50% for the GPU, and 20% for the card's memory. That is still a bit high for what is on offer, I think, but nowhere near as bad as 99% usage.

GPU usage in the task manager is misleading, it doesn't show you the card's power state and the clock rate. Get something like GPU-Z and then please post a screenshot from there, because I am curious as to what is the actual usage (could really be 99%, but GPU-Z will tell you exactly).
