Since the beginning of the first FM-series I have always held the FM and gambled in time for release in hands, mostly alone but meisst with a colleague. When considered alone and adds the seasons are there certainly a few weeks, if not months been spent at leisure before the screen.
A week before the release of FM14 I had heard for the first time the fact that the FM 14 is supposed to be only a so-called database update with revised screens and additional images.
At first I was skeptical - to spend on a better update 40 ?! OK, as a longtime fan I wanted it to me then did not let take and then have it pre-ordered it on Tuesday here. One is to be mentioned - I would have left it only !!
An update to 40 would have been really still in order, as a fan is to spend the happy although 30 would have been more justified. But what is EA / BF has done this year, is really beneath contempt!
My first great hope or expectation was that EA / BF least all the bugs that the FM had 13 to satisfy even have eliminated ....
---> Hope smash! EA / BF has not managed in time to eliminate the bugs (I assume here even aware of any intention ...)
Then I read in advance that some additional licenses should be added, such as the Ukrainian:
---> EA / BF has actually managed and has a planned database update (Legacy version) is 2! essential (at least for me as a fan of the series langhjähriger) canceled licenses without comment.
So friends of FM-series this year, unfortunately, no longer come to enjoy the licensed 3rd league and regional leagues in Germany.
The personally I find it a huge joke!
There was also talk of improving some screens and insert new images:
---> I could not believe my eyes when I had to see for the first time, the player pictures in the game - yes, I write deliberately had! The player images are almost always with a white border? Background? provided, which covers the club logo. In addition, a lot of pictures, to say not quite as harshly expressing unloving selected. A Shaqiri now looks in FM from more like a psychopath, as a footballer. Ander player images are poorly laid out and focus!
For such a version would be even 10 already have been too much.
Many thanks EA / BF for the most senseless and FM worst ever !!
PS: Anyone who buys the FM 14 here after the reviews and experiences is your fault and could also equal the 40 burn.
Since I unfortunately can not return my open version, I'll use the DVD now as beer mats, so it has at least one more benefit ...
