nzleeds Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 ok just got mine from eb. I tryed installing it, should I be able to get past the product key stage? I have requested updates from steam but really not sure what the go is? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pope of Pot, King of Nothi Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Right lads. Off for the evening! I expect to be seeing you all tomorrow at 6.05 sharp in the Liverpool thread on good players forum Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some Guy! Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I physically have the game, but why aren't the servers up for the activation now if they've been given the go ahead for selling today? Why?! This is just a middle finger to people, in fact this activation malarky in general is just complete toss and a giant middle finger to the consumer! In fact if I remember correctly the last company that tried an inventive activation system is currently in the courts with a class action suit against them for it! The biggest problem with things like this system is that in the end, game pirates aren't going to be affected, because if you can make it, they can break it. I don't care how good you think your system is SI, it's not going to do ****! Does everyone remember Spore's apparently "unbreakable" system? I think it's now the most pirated game ever or something to that effect... Anyhow, the only people that are going to be affected are the consumers who actually pay for the game, and some of them are going to be ****ed in the arse by SI and have to get new keys because of computer **** ups whilst people who stole the game will be enjoying their football manager unscathed! Also, as for this strange system you've got going with the server activation... Why? What's the ****ing point? This is actually a serious question? Why would you even bother, who the **** cares if someone get's the game early? In the case of Australia, I was told a week ago that the game would come on sale on the 13th of November and today I bought it, and yet I've got to wait for some ****ing random time in the morning, when my one free afternoon to enjoy the new football manager before the busiest ****ing week of the year is already behind me... Back to the point about the apparent issue with games being released early... What's wrong with it? What would it hurt if some people got to play it a day early, does the enjoyment of your target audience bring pain to you lot or something? It might explain why you managed to **** up the injuries in the demo for another year running! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisvegas Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Available: November 14th, 2008 This game will unlock in approximately 1 day and 18 hours Hopefully the above is wrong just like my previous posting which said 3 hrs at 9amish this morn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man_u_4ever Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 EB is a damn rip off! 89 dollars and they still sell fm 08 for the same price! For those in Melbourne Metro, there's a shop in the CBD, 183 Elizabeth St. called Dungeon crawl which sells FM09 for 69.95... Not sure about their stocks though...

BP_Doosra Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I installed it completely but to do this you have to select to activate using the internet/phone method instead of Steam. This way the game installs completely but won't let you open the actual fm.exe file to play the game. You can however open the editor and find all of the -10's and -9's. No Australians in either of those two categories by the way. But it was useful to look at the A-League squads and see how various players are rated, including the youth league players, which is great to see.

BP_Doosra Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Tried to unlock it using Steam but it didn't work. Then used the internet activation system and it worked perfectly and I'm playing the game right now - might start off in the A-League actually. iglesia - I'm not using a Mac, before (yesterday) I could install but not activate but this still allowed me to access the Data Editor. I'm using XP if it makes any difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP_Doosra Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Have to agree to an extent, one example is Eugene Dadi who despite being one of Perth's best players, has a CA of a whopping 69! (hope I got that right - but it's something shockingly low like that). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Furia Roja Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 he isnt exactly good though is he, and he is 35 or so, im a sydney season ticket holder, so dont think im hating onthe a-league, but the a-leage is very poor as opposed to the rest of the big leages, look at dwight yorke, washed up in the premier leage and arguably the best player to have played in the a-league, they will always have alot lower CA and CP than EPL, LaLiga etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TranmereYank Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I'm well familiar with Dadi with him being at Tranmere and now Perth. These days, I'd say a CA of 69 is about right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyPass Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I'm well familiar with Dadi with him being at Tranmere and now Perth. These days, I'd say a CA of 69 is about right. He was also at Forest. A complete waste of space. The fact he is considered one of Perth's best players would tell you all you need to know about the A-League.
