Yes, it dosent work with PC because activation is not possible yet. With Mac, there wasnt any problems to install it.

Call them.

i meant for activation mate!

i think you've just revealed another new feature in that screenshot, the key staff tick box is new, and hadn't been visible on the demo.

why are we getting it a day early?

What languages are supported in Finnish or Australian version? I'm wondering.

It says in my steam that the game will be available in November 13th and be unlocked in 1 day and 16 hours.

mine says 12th and 17 hours

mine says 12th and 17 hours

Any idea exactly what this does - If you leave unticked, do you loose your Assman and specialist coaches?

Depends on how many leagues I can run and if they'd sign me. I always start unemployed.

I'd sign Kewell though if he stays injury free.

one of the best and most enjoyable squads so far..

P.S.

kewell is injury free this season. only missed 2 games because of a collision with another player. therefor i am editing his injury proness level from the editor. i am sure SI games created kewell as aplayer who gets injured every other game.

I dont know, but i have a hunch that the manual will say, thats usually what it is for!

Yeah, I have looked up a few of his goals on you tube. I'm glad he is doing well, the Liverpool fans turned on him because of his injuries.

When he is healthy he is brilliant.

have a guess mate.... AUSTRALIA

I'm bringing Kewell back to Leeds, sorry Arda82

i can understand liverpool fans' anger but he got injured on the pitch. twice. with the liverpool shirt.

they should not be angry at him.

even if he had 2 incredibly bad injuries he is still playing well.

i heard he is called up for the Aussie National Team

I'm bringing Kewell back to Leeds, sorry Arda82

nooooooo gala would not sell him

i did not download the demo, but how is he in fm 2009?

he was still good at fm 2008 but now just because he signed for a Turkish team i am scared that SI will lower his attributes.

In real life gala would never leave kewell, but in FM i can see him going abroad for an easy 5 million pounds.

i dont gt this activation stuff whas stoping the game from playing?

shoot the MANUAL...

i ordered via steam.. where will my manual be?

Right click on FM => View Manual (probably, that's where it will be if it has one anyway)

i dont gt this activation stuff whas stoping the game from playing?

You've got to be sh**ting me??? Search man, search

search for what exacally?

I've read a post on the french section of these boards, where someone said he had purchased the game in France on Saturday (Nov. 8) (he provided a screen of the FM 09 box in fornt of his PC)

So my question is: Are we expecting the statement from SI which seems to happen every year (at least for the last few versions) that the release date of the game has been pushed forward ?

Nope....and its SEGA that would decide that.

where does it say it will be available in 16 hours or so?

if u have steam installed

go to the store section

type football manager 2009

and u will see when it will be released for you.

so at this hour look what it says:

Available: November 13th, 2008

This game will unlock in approximately 1 day and 13 hours

I live in Adelaide and got a call from EB in the city to say I could pick up my pre-ordered copy any time after 9am tomorrow (Thurs 13th) whilst that appears like great news on the surface, what the point if I can't play it until activation is switched on. I will have to read the manual this year I guess because I wont be able to play the game. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so at this hour look what it says:

same here.

So annoying. I get to EB and they have the game but the tart who said they could sell me it was wrong and her manager wouldn't let her.

So you're saying that if I go and buy my game tomorrow (13th) I won't be able to play it? What a joke.
