Problem is that patches from CA are not exactly earth-shattering in their speed of release. We play for a long time with the 'buggy' version (though to be honest most of the bugs I can live with, I'm fairly easy going) before the fix comes out. Now whether you regard the bugs in the game at the moment as critical or not, past experience suggests that it's going to be a while before they are fixed. Admittedly this is a far better situation than the ChampMan4 where there was a patch ready the day BEFORE the game was released, then another one straight away (which gives you some idea of the number of errors in the thing), but I'd like there to be a happy medium. Initial play has revealed a number of issues, and I REFUSE to believe that the testing process at CA/Activision didn't throw up any of these thus making these ALL 'new' problems. Rambling now, will stop.
