After going through the "wait for patch" cycle last year I'm no longer particularly fussed about starting a game with all of the transfers, rule changes, etc. of the newest version.

In short when FM23 comes out this year I'll just check in on the boards to see how my eventual free version is coming along.

I think for most true fans, they pick up the game when it comes out. Same reason that everybody picks up Madden at launch. They want the new teams and rosters. For someone like me who maybe recognizes 2-3 players, and barely even knows who the best teams in the EPL are, it doesn't matter when I pick up the game. I'm getting it for the engine and improvements, not the updated rosters.
