Finally playable!

So how are you guys finding 8.0.2? Im thinking that it is as big improvement on .1 esp. the match engine! Finally strikers take their chances etc!!

My only worry so far, has been the Australian Olympic side for the qualifiers was all 16yos and stuff..weird..

I hate it how the database has an update for the January transfer window. I want to decide myself wheter I want to play with an updated DB or not.

Other than that, it seems to work pretty fine. Although I think it was already pretty playable before this patch, but I agree it's nice to see one-on-ones actually been tucked away nicely for a change.

yes, the 8.0.2 is definitely a major improvement


only thing i still notice is that even if you have it set to the minimum, your players still take an awful amount of the long-shots..

Yes but that leaves you with the choice to either play with the unfixed 8.0.1 database or with the transfer updated 8.0.2 database.

I just wish they wouldn't rush the patches (and the game itself). The Defoe, Diarra errors, Turkish league finances, those could be fixed easily....

Anyone know if the 7 subs from 2009 (for the Premier League) will work with current saved games or not?

Nope, the patch has already been installed... databases won't change that... pick whichever one you want.

Yes, it will work. If you're already past 2009, it will start from the next season onwards.

What was the problem that it brought back?

I've had no major issues with 8.0.2. Everything was ok in 8.0.1, except the damn match engine..

The thing that annoys me the most, is that it loses realism. Because either I have to start in the past, with transfers as they were back then (the old D, I have to start in the past, but with transfers from January present from August 2007, OR I can choose the start season as (for example) Norway February 2008. But then it simulates the first half of the season, so odds are it wont be realistic qualifiers etc...

It's annoying that SI NEVER seem to get it right first time

Zlatan: The Database isn't 'Fixed' just updated...its the exe, and other files that are fixed. So you can choose the old DB...

My preference though is to choose the new DB and (as mentioned above) choose to start in Norway, February 2008. I'm patient, and I run a few starts, until the League table looks something like it does IRL

no cup competition after a new season (if my saved game is from a prev version). Also I had income issues. Went from +1mileuros per month to -4. Without any reason obviously.
