(i'm sorry about my english)

i have a question.
will the mac version be released together with the pc version, or will the mac version be released after the pc version ?

i hope you will understand my question

Probably they'll be released at the same time. There's a Mac beta somewhere here so you can test it

i allready tested the beta version, it's really fun to play. The match engine is much better than nss 3

It will probably be released about 1 week after PC version.

NSS4 will come for Mac. But Si totally focused on an update for NSS4 and he'll be sorting out the translations. Please wait till Si replies...

So far the Mac version runs much better for me than the PC version. I am sure this has to do with the limited number of configurations that need to be tested on the Mac as the two versions use the same code base (except security). The only bugs (if you can call them that) so far:
1. The call button not skipping the after goal celebrations (should it?)
2. Not being able to get to online help directly from the game (both PC and Mac)
3. Almost always the players leave the pitch at the half and final whistle, but I have to press escape to get to the stats screen and move on. It doesn't happen automatically.
4. Not a bug, but I suck at it so far. 15 games as a forward and I have scored one goal, and can barely dribble w/o falling over the ball.
5. One other thing, after a game if I earned skill points, I can find them in the earned skill list, but after indoor training, I have never found any messages as to what might have improved. Did I just suck so bad that I didn't earn anything?

Oh yeah, the Mac version is blazingly faster than the PC version (at least comparing my two rigs - PC and Mac)

Nice work, Si!

Sounds like someone has been having a tipple...

Thanks for the comments Jeff. BTW, if you have purchased a Windows license and would prefer the Mac one, just drop me a line with your payment details (player name, email address).

Thanks Si, I played the PC version as a demo, but bought the Mac version yesterday. The mere fact that you are providing a Mac Version at all means you are light years ahead of the rest of the industry.

I wrote a a preview of NSS4 on my game programming/retro nerd site www.8bitrocket.com a couple weeks back.

I am going to start a blog series today that chronicles 8bitjeff's quest to move from the LA Galaxy to Black Burn Rovers, and my attempt to lead the USA to a world cup win...See Si, YOU are providing a way for the impossible to happen, you magic man. =)
