SaintsCanada Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Just curious as to whether there will be a Worldwide Soccer Manager demo, or just an FM one? The reason I ask is simply that there would be a better chance of MLS being playable in a WSM demo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballfan08 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I'm not 100% sure but I think WSM is being replaced by FM at least in the states. I checked the usa amazon.com and I only found FM 10 for sale, no mention of WSM. However, FM 10 will have MLS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsCanada Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Yes, but the demo probably won't -- it hasn't in previous years, and MLS is one of the most difficult, buggy/inaccurate leagues due to its unusual rules. (i.e. it's one of the most sensible leagues to include in the demo to have the community point out problems sooner rather than later). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i.e. it's one of the most sensible leagues to include in the demo to have the community point out problems sooner rather than later). Not really. In the demo, most players stay with teams they know and try to get a handle on the new features of the game. I dont mean this disrespectfully, but the vast majority would play the demo in the major european leagues meaning that it wouldnt be worthwhile putting the MLS into it as, percentage wise, not that many users would choose to manage an MLS team. Im not sure, but once the demo is out im assuming the game will already be in the production stage anyway, so any changes needed would have to be in a patch. I think the world is a lot more aware of MLS rules now than they were a few years ago. Also, SI have been using far more beta testers this year so hopefully these issues would have been spotted in testing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The demo is made out of the finished retail version of the game and therfore errors found in the demo will first be fixed in a patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyewackett Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Can't see why not. As in if it's just sections of the full retail of the game are just stripped out. To allow people to have a taster of what is on offer. From the next installement. From the ever excellent FM/WSM series So the the playable be leagues selected to be ripped from the full game so-to-speak are just taken from the game, I can't see why various regional playable leagues are edited accordinlgy to these, well ...erm regions then these can be loadable for the gamers that prefer to play say in MLS or the Premier League. When they release the demo. So us fans can enjoy, we'll only know when they actually announce the demo to be sure. Wasn't there Strawberry and Vanilla version of previous game demo's didn't they offer. More playable leagues or something like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintsCanada Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Fact: The term football refers to a whole lot of sports with shared ancestry. Soccer is not necessarily the most direct descendent of early versions of football, with its marks and rouges. Fact: "Soccer" is an ENGLISH term, which is more specific, as it derives from "association football", referring to the sport governed by the Football Association. In other words, "soccer" > "football" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintsCanada Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 I believe the British Isles are the only part of the English speaking world which call it football actually. In Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United States, etc. "football" means another sport altogether. And anyways, how is moving backwards into a more colloquial, less specific term "evolving"? Surely evolution would make us MORE succinct, not less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leezoid Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 <Sarcasm>Yeah those crazy americans calling it soccer! We never use that term over here in blighty</Sarcasm> This weekend i'm looking forward to watching Soccer AM & Soccer Saturday. FYI "It is also the common name for the sport in North America, South Africa, Ireland, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Zimbabwe." According to Wikipedia - quite a large area then?

Giziar Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 It's called: Fußball (lit. football) in German Voetbal (lit. football) in Dutch Fotball (lit. football) in Norwegian Fotboll (lit. football) in Swedish Fotbold (lit. football) in Danish Fútbol (lit. football) in Spanish Futebol (lit. football) in Portuguese Fotbal (lit. football) in Romanian Futboll (lit. football) in Albanian Futbol (lit. football) in Turkish. I'm starting to see a pattern. We can't help it that they use the word football on the other side of the Atlantic for a sport where foot and ball hardly touch eachother.

I'm starting to see a pattern. We can't help it that they use the word football on the other side of the Atlantic for a sport where foot and ball hardly touch eachother. The pattern is that in each place English employees of English companies traveled and introduced the game to locals, the locals named the game after what the English called it. For example, "Fútbol" in Spanish sounds a hell of a lot like "Football" in English, but neither "fút" nor "bol" mean anything in Spanish. Another pattern is that other codes of football (such as rugby, Australian rules, Gaelic, American) never really caught on in those countries so maybe they didn't feel a need to clarify which form of football they play in the sports name.
