Ever fancied a job at SI?

But, as Moonster said, SI wont care if people keep buying it. Its on Gamepass, so Im going to give it a go, see just how bad it is. Anyone know if the editor is available if you install from Gamepass? ETA - never mind, I found it at the bottom of the page - £6.29!

But if you take longer to do things, there's more time to fix issues. If they gave themselves longer, they could iteratively work through development, testing, bug fixing, retesting etc. There might not be significantly more changes than now but it should be a far better product. And besides, if they double the testing they do now, zero doubled is still zero. All academic as there's no chance they'll ever move to only releasing every two years

Not me, not this year *smug face* The really frustrating thing this year seems to be that, despite not actually changing the game from last year, they've made it worse and introduced a whole load of new bugs and issues. I think for years, most people have put up with bug's every year because we felt we were getting a genuinely new game. This year just feels like the worst of both worlds.

Thats the one, absolutely fantistic. Although, better in the sit-com without the laugh track

Watched the first couple of episodes, it's decent stuff. I'm guessing it's not new for the show, but the pea song is hilarious

Yeah, cat or dog. I remember that game

Happy to have a look. If I cant figure it out, no worries

I think I'm also looking for a new provider. Stream has just gone down on Sunday afternoon again. I want to used my own app, though, so needs to be one that gives out the m3u url, if any one knows of any

Once is bad enough. Totally unacceptable

That's 15 of our 19 point's won with Wilson starting. I think we all knew he was a key player, your stats show just how important he is!

Clearly, the keeper got a touch and the player reacted to that. The keeper got a touch, right?

I dunno, he did swear on the live stream

Im much the same with Most Haunted

For anyone who has pre ordered through steam, I just got a refund from them

To be fair, I played an hour or so last night and I quite like some of the changes. The scouting seems a bit more logical and the squad thing is actually quite useful. But fundamentally it's the same game

For anyone who isnt going to pre-order, 23 is going to be on GamePass from release date On a totally unrelated note, does anyone know Steams refund policy?

How do SI managed to introduce so many bug's into the game without actually making any significant improvements? Quite an achievement

I did it Nice to see the Queens research is up to its usual standard. Players missing completely from the squad and general positions and ratings all over the place

I can't think of any decent Sci fi on Netflix, now I come to think about it. Unless you count Stranger things, I suppose. But for the other stuff there's loads, BCS as you say, breaking bad, narcos, mindhunters, designated survivor, end of the fuckin world just off the top of my head

I would normally recommend mine but its become a bit less stable lately. Quite a few outages during football games.

I realise, by buying the game every year despite it not changing, I am part of the problem not the solution

I remember being very excited for FML, then enjoying it for a bit, then being really frustrated with it and giving up. I don't really remember why though. Not really the same though, is it? PES has always played second fiddle to fifa. I imagine going monthly was an attempt to get some market share and it failed. I'm also guessing the fact that the game wasn't actually very good had a lot to do with it. FM is as dominant in its genre as a game has ever been. Do the holders of the CM licence even bother releasing a game any more? A monthly sub doesn't seem to have been a problem for World of warcraft. I don't really understand the economic argument against it, to be honest. Charge a one off £20ish quid for the base game then a few pounds a month. Regular players will pay it and end up paying basically the same each year and new players need to buy the base game. You can still advertise new features to attract new players or encourage lapsed players to re-subscribe. A monthly sub also goes straight into SIs pocket rather than paying the retailers a chunk. I guess there's something I'm missing

Fair enough. I know I had a lot more time as a student to waste on things like this than I do now. Different subject - does anyone know anywhere selling the physical version with access to the beta? ETA - never mind, I dont think you can. You have to order through Steam, Epic or MS Store for the beta.

If you think you dont have time now wait until you actually have to work for a living and have a family etc! SI claim they would make less money by moving to a subscription model. I'd argue that if they actually made some effort to make regular improvements to the game then they wouldnt. At least it would get us away from where we are now, paying for a new game every year that clearly isnt even close to a new game. Maybe if they could come up with a proper, workable MMO mode then a sub model would work. Not an easy thing to do unfortunately.
