Ozzy38 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Keep in mind that demos aren't a part of the final game as such because things can be tweaked, but I've not experienced it being to the extent that the game was much worse or better. For example, in an action game the level structure can be changed and enemies might be moved about to different positions in the final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
george94 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Basically a little taster of the actual game where you play 6 months of the game in one country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomHAVFC Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 The FM demo is a 6 month version of the Final game so it won't change. Sometimes SI don't include things in the demo that they do in the final game. That's what I've read. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demos are usually released after the game has gone gold though, so any changes have to be introduced with patches. The FM demo will be exactly the same as the full game out of the box, just with limited gameplay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy38 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I was not referring to just FM. And there are often changes from demos to the final games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomHAVFC Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I think the only difference is that they have holiday mode disabled. I thought there were a few other minor things that you couldn't do in the demo. I'm probably wrong but that's what I thought happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK the only difference is holiday mode being disabled and you can only play quickstarts and not play network games. I could be wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
postal postie Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 the term demo is an abbreviation of demonstration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I think the only difference is that they have holiday mode disabled. I don't believe you can play online either. Also, the games are quickstarts which are really only saved games that use the smallest database size available. For this reason I never continue a game started on the demo with the full game. Its better imo to start from the beginning when you get the full game. EDIT: Never noticed your second post Neji about quickstarts and network play.
