Hi all, been playing for about a year (on X-Box) and for the most part I love the game. Recently I purchased a kayak. I outfitted it in the appropriate spot and didn't give it a second thought. Well, until the next time I went fishing. I was just going to a lake that you can't use a boat on (yes I am aware that you can only use a boat on specific lakes) and when I tried to head to the lake a warning popped up regarding taking my kayak to a lake that doesn't support them, or some such. So, first question, why do we need to be warned about this? Next question; when I did finally go to a lake where I could use my kayak, I quickly discovered I couldn't figure out how to launch it. Since then I have searched videos on YouTube, joined this forum and searched pages of threads, all to no avail. Now I don't consider myself a genius, but I'm no slouch, either (although sometimes the obvious does tend to escape me). So, am I missing something obvious here? Can someone please talk me through the whole process so I might actually enjoy my new kayak? I'd sure appreciate it! Thanks in advance folks.

So I have noticed that top 5 in competitions almost always are the same people. And they always pull away with huge numbers. And these people have played on steam and now the windows version. Crossplay is great but it litteraly sucks doing competitions when on the xbox. There must be something that is alot better on pc that makes it easier to catch fish. There is no way of keeping up. People are in chat talking about hax etc. I understand they are good and have played alot. But how do they always get good RNG? Anyone have input on this? Please reply. I think this might be interesting to figure out

Is there any news about xbox one game i heard and saw a picute where you said estimated release was November or was that all a lie? So many players want it on xbox and doesnt seem like you guys care at all

Should i buy pro fishing simulator , or will ff come out for xbox?

I wrote this in a reply, but i think is better in a new topic. I would propose the option, for spinning and casting, to lock the camera and move the rod freely. For example, with “L1” (PS4) you can zoom the camera to see the tip, now, for spinning and casting is not useful, Dev could change the tip zoom, with the camera lock.

Hello, For PS4, one thing I also want to suggest to the dev team for the coming update is to add spinning motions option to the controller. I notice after casting the rod, the (triangle) button is not in use. I’m wonder if it is possible to enable it to allow the left/right stick to clockwise/counterclockwise the reel for the spinning motions for all types of rods. Currently, the left stick functions as walk around and the right stick functions as look around after the players cast the rod. It probably different in other controllers.

When will the xbox edtion be released ?

It’s a little late to talk about E3 2018 as it’s already happened in May. I also think the FP dev team weren’t fully prepared this year as they are releasing a global fishing update according to their developer daily. Yet, the actual release date isn’t fully confirmed. Hopefully around Thanksgiving. Let’s talk about E3 2019 or some similar global tournaments. Hopefully something will start happening in 2019? One big topic is if they are heading toward this direction which I’m supporting in general, they need to figure out which is the presentation platform. What I mean is if they are releasing Xbox version. That will put PS4 players in pressure and their crowds won’t happy about their decision. FP will probably lose those players. If lucky those players might switch platform to supporting FP for the live stage tournament. Yet, it creates another problem which is their player account. Lots of video games/esports games/simulator games including FP require player experience in order to upgrade their gears, in game cash, and XP, etc. It won’t be easy for those players who are following their decision to change platform even those they are the top players. If FP follows the crowds, which will put the other platform’s players in bad mood. It depends on how many platforms they will release in the future. If they are only joining E3 or if they are joining a multiply Esports tournaments or invitations for different platforms, or even though have their own live stage tournaments in the future, they will need to make a decision earlier and announce the news earlier for their FP supporters to have enough time to prepare before those big globally Esports tournament happens. On the other hand E3 is pretty much a PS4 dominated global event. All the AAA games are having their supporters there. In order to get into E3 isn’t easy as well. I believe if they have enough crowds which they just need to have some adjustments and will be able to join E3. This shouldn’t be a problem for the FP Dev team. Of course, they possibly need to communicate with Sony as well and see if they will fully support them in the Esports category. As Esports is a very new trends nowadays, people also need sometimes to adjusting this new trendy. It doesn’t matter if it is esports or sports, they need to have enough supporters to make things happen. For me, Fishing Planet is very unique which combines technology, simulate of a real sports in a nice and clean created global environment. Plus, their add-ons and special in-game events and competitions create a upper level of video gaming experience for players to enjoy and explore. It will be difficult and very expensive for people to travel to all these different countries to explore and fish in real life. Only FP can create this experience for players. Also, they always make improvements and listening to their supporters and give enough feedbacks and supports. I hope FP will last for a long time. It definitely wins my heart whatever which direction(s) they are heading. I will think let them focus on what they have in hand first. I believe they have something in mind and working toward that direction. I as a supporter will always enjoy and continue to give suggestions to FP and make it the greatest and the best fishing game.
