My last SO purchase was SO5, and I am definitely very interested in getting SO7, but it seems from reading these forums that the beta still has some way to go yet before it's in any fit state, particularly in the realism department (ratings, schedules, horse jumps progression to name but a few).

Therefore, I'm going to hold off buying this until the magnificent modders on this great forum have got the game up to scratch and Mark has addressed all the bugs and moved this out of beta. I don't want to play a second rate game and keep restarting as new and better mods get added.

Is anyone else on here in the same position as me? When do folk think the game will be in a stable and much improved state to play properly?

Just to be clear, this thread is not a criticism of anyone whatsoever!

Thoughts anyone?

Graham

Just like me, but it's also a rest from the many SO6 seasons.

Think I will buy it next year.

Lads i have not had a crash in ages (weeks) buy it its class & its very different to what you will be used to
especially you Graham and god its good to see you back matey we go back

I'd say buy it and have a mess around with it before it comes out of Beta then u will know all the new wrinkles. This stage in games is always to have a mess around and fix the problems.

For me, I enjoy being part of the testing process, so I bought it on day one. It also means I know the game inside out by the time the full release comes out.

I'm a schedule modder as well, so it gives me a chance to work on my global flat schedule and fully test it before the game comes out.

Buy it. I have bought all the starters orders games from 3 and 7 is the best. At the moment I am just messing about with it and it's fab!!

welcome back exxplozion good to see so many old friends back

Feels good to be back on the boards Paul, real life has been somewhat hectic over the past few years for me, but I've now got more time to devote to this.

As I'm away from my laptop at the moment for a little while, I think that looking at the feedback on here, I'll invest in the new year.

Thanks all

Cheers Paul mate good to be back. I have had a hectic time over the past few years but slowly but surely getting there.

great to have you both back lads and glad to hear you are both doing well

Sounds like both me and exxplozion have been in the wars then!! Out of the woods now though I hope!

Wars definitely comes to mind GS63. Fingers crossed always.
Cheers Paul, hope you are keeping well.

Is the game still classed as in Beta? I noticed on Facebook a new update was recently released, I’m enjoying 06 still currently, will certainly get 07 but I want the game fully patched and bug free before I park 6 and move to 7

Thanks

Yes, the beta stage will likely last at least a few more weeks.
