Let me be the first to give my thoughts:

Got the game Wednesday, and have played it a little since then. So far so good! I love the TeamTalk feature. I can't wait to chew out a player who as a 4 at the half. Haven't checked out MLS for accuracy yet, but I plan to over the next few days. You can get a updated fixture schedule (at least for some of the European leagues), the patch that makes Oliver Kahn magically appear, and some skins. I'll get links when I get home.

So far, so good. Now all I need is some quality cheapo players for Coventry City and we'll be on our way!

If anyone bought the PC/Mac version. Well, get ready for the trouble to begin. Many of you may not have any problems whatsoever. An equal number of you will share the pain and loss of the game being riddled with problems from arse to elbow.

I hope the developers burn in hell for releasing a game with such fundamental problems. Thousands can't play the game beyond January 2006 for example. I was lucky. I got to the end of my third season before the game decided it didn't want to go further than May 2008.

The first patch is the sigames peoples' first fallback. That's all well and good, except it doesn't bloody fix the plethora of software problems with the game. The cheeky bastards even had the nerve to suggest that thousands of people had exactly the same hardware problem. This was apparent from the first day it was released and they better get a shift on in getting a patch out to fix it, if they manage to fix it.

The must have tested it for all of 5 minutes before deciding to fleece people for money.

No idea if the console versions are problem free, but for all those who are thinking of buying the PC/Mac version - DON'T DO IT!.

Great game, utterly rubbish software.

Bloody hell you've got to 2008 already? I've clocked up 19 hours on it already and I've just finished the first season.

So far I've only had a few niggly problems like my tactics resetting after a few games of my coaches vanishing for weeks

No crashing issues.....yet

That is why they ditched their previous publisher, do extensive research, testing and continue to improve the game throughout it's life cycle. It is what they have been continually praised for throughout this series. They had a patch out on the day of release, as usual, and are actively working through any data errors and bugs that have been identified. That's what they do and you should be bloody thankful for the TLC they have towards both the game and users.

The issue you are whining about only affects a small proportion of users and they are working to find a solution. That takes time and requires the cooperation of those with the problem. So instead of bad mouthing them and bitching away, why don't you head over to their site and help them?

Get a ********ing grip mate.

I shall be purchasing this game no matter what some pricy downtown London football shirt store says to contrary, thanks though.

I've had no problems yet, into Feb '06. Haven't installed the patch -- can you keep playing the same game after, or do they recommend starting a new game?

[Teso Dos Bichos]

It's better to start a new game.

this game is intolerable.

frustrating beyond the point of madness.

care to state why?

[DutchFootballRulez]

Yes, because I can claim, the damn ludicrosity(sp) of the injuries. I don't care if ludicrousity(sp) isn't a word. But I had Marquez, Puyol, and Ronaldinho injured at the same time.
