i shall be buying it no matter how many people tell me the coaching skill will be low, there's no established leagues, there's not all the races there, no admins will try to help, the company wants cheaters cos it makes em more money. ok i've gone a bit mental now. but you get the point. i shall be buying it, trying it, making up my own mind.

i think i've realised im the low coaching skill \o/ and i haven't been in leagues for a long long time. it must be me you all don't want to play with in the cyanide version.

p.s. im quite happy to pay for expansions too. Keeps the devs interested.
p.p.s. Oh and when you say we get this game for free it... it isn't. You must have purchased the box set to play, according to skijunkie's client. With the Cyanide version you don't have to. Plus ofc we should all help Christer maintain the servers and run this wonderful service so pay for that too.

I'll wait a month or two when the game will be in the 10$ and less bin at Wall-Mart. Then I will definitely buy it.

Only 8 teams is what disapoint me the most.

broad,

kudos for making up your own decision on things...

that being said....i have a feeling that quite a few negative opinions that circulate about this game, are from people who were involved in the beta, and were very underwhelmed with the product...

i know i'm one of those....

And that was Cyanide's first mistake.

It's a good game for it's medium, but it's incomplete IMHO. Still worth the price of admission though.


Thanks.

Wha?
Does that make any sense at all?

Yes its frustrating about the small amount of teams and yes its alot of money if you only play fumbbl. But for those of us that have an XBox360 or buy PC games then the price is pretty much the standard price for a new game. If you have no interest in playing this game fair enough however if you are one of those that thought you would buy it until you heard it only had 8 teams then I think you should still buy it. My reason is this: (and someone can correct me if they know my statement to be wrong) I suspect that Cyanide had a very limited budget for making this game in the first place and felt it would be better to get a version of the game out on the market to test its reception. Some of you may balk at that but how many of you buy the new Fifa or Pro Evo game each year. I suspect if the game sells well ALL of the teams will be eventually downloadable for PC/360 or an updated version will be released for all formats.

The other plus for me is that like your fifas,pro evos,maddens etc you will be able to play one player. Thus being able to play when you want and not have to wait for ages on gamesfinder if you are using a bashy team.

I for one am looking forward to this.

I hope you're referring to closed beta... the week long open beta doesn't show enough of the game to really make an accurate opinion.

The game is good for what it is, I was disappointed with a few things, but it's worth $50. Plus we have no idea what they polished in the past month.

The game is not fumbbl and fumbbl is not the game. They're different entities and offer different appeal. I enjoy both TBPH and will still probably enjoy both.

Given time, the BB game could very well surpass fumbbl in all facets (except price). Remember, fumbbl wasn't as good as it currently is, when it first came out.

Yes it does make sense.

If i have it on PC/360 I can play anytime i like.

CURRENTLY if i want a game i have to set-up a league and get other players interested, no-one else really seems to want to set it up.

Read the post properly.

My punctuation may have been a little sloppy in the origional post, my apoligies.

You don't need to set up a League to play games. We have a division called Ranked where you can play one-off games quite easily, or Unranked if you don't mind waiting forever for an opponent.
