Throw away the commentary, the South African super-handicappers, etc, and it will be a game with real longevity once again. My personal opinion is that the game needs to return to the basics and get that right. Even the comparatively simplistic Raceclubs does it better (another game with much potential unfortunately ruined by rent-seekers and con-artists). But a realistic horse training simulation it is not. Great for a drunken Sunday afternoon with a few friends. The net result is that it more resembles a random numbers game - reminiscent of the arcade horse-racing games you used to see at beachfront amusement arcades. You would be forgiven for thinking that the developer was deliberately introducing new bugs to compensate for the effects of pre-existent bugs. Perhaps I am hoping too much for this to be the horse -racing equivalent of FM (with the immense budget and development team that that game has) but I once believed that it had that much potential. G1 winners suddenly become incapable of keeping up with modest horses at level weights. 80 rated foreign handicappers hammer proven G1 horses. Horses with sufficient speed to win 6f races as two year olds suddenly turn into plodders. Horses with no temperament problems suddenly develop temperament problems. Whether through tedium or exhaustion, the developer seems more concerned with relatively superficial 'improvements' rather than addressing the underlying problems which have always made this game ultimately frustrating. have been a problem since the earliest versions and never seem to have been addressed. Own and train your own string of race horses and aim for all the big races at over 100 world-wide. Horse Racing Management game comes to the Mac. The lack of consistency, the rigid horse parameters, horses passing sideways through each other, etc. Starters Orders is an extremely in-depth horse racing management and deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Football Manager. Others, such as the commentary, not so much. Several new features, such as the faux-3d environment and the new breeding game, have been great. For the most part, I have been disappointed. Every time I have hoped that the basic gameplay problems have been sorted out in the next edition.

Every time I have hoped that the basic gameplay problems have been sorted out in I have bought every edition of Starters Orders since SO2. I realize I need the allocation before anything happens.I have bought every edition of Starters Orders since SO2.

Could be added later or get it as an LPO over the counter if it doesn’t become available before order is picked up. One of my options was ZZ3 appearance package and it wasn’t listed. I’m first at my dealership and now waiting on the all important allocation. “I also had my order submitted to 1100 about an hour ago. Here’s what one user from the says about placing his order today: Hopefully, dealers will take the slow and cautious route instead of trying to load every name on their lists without knowing allocations, as that gives false hope to those with an 1100 status order. There’s a big difference between an 1100 Status order and having that order matched to an actual allocation so that the order process can move forward. However, there is a pretty big catch as pricing is not yet showing up on those who have submitted orders as of today.ĭealers still are waiting for allocations and, of course, the day when they can start matching those allocations to customer orders for the first order cycle. These are preliminary orders that are going in at Status 1100 which is the first step of the order process. Although July 28th is circled on our calendar as the date for the Z06’s order books to open up, we’ve heard from dealers and customers who were able to submit their orders today for America’s next supercar.
