The big bugs and stuff came as the game developed but the core of the game still delivered all the basic options.
Small Team, Small Company and a basic game delivered from the start that did what it said on the tin.

Sure, I agree.
That's part of the problem with FHM. Rather than putting out a basic no frills game that functioned well, the team tried to put too much advanced stuff into it too soon. It was a mistake, as they've even admitted. But at this point they have to work with what they have, which is a game that's heavy on features but light on functionality.
That being said, I was talking more about the first version of FM, was it FM 2006? That was a decent game, but it had some big, big bugs and some real growing pains as well, it took quite a while to get it stabilized. That just seems to be the deal with these kind of games. FHM is not unique in it's early struggles.
