senorcoo Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Hi there. My boxed copy is en route, but is there a way for me to get Football Manager 09 through STEAM here in the USA? All it shows is Worldwide Soccer Manager. Someone please let me know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahmufcwafc Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 No I don't think you can. Only WWSM is available in America through Steam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipriang80 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 WWSM on the 17th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it shows is Worldwide Soccer Manager. Someone please let me know. Why would yo get a copy with STEAM if you have a copy on it way? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorcoo Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 Uh, cuz that way I could start playing and then sell my sealed copy when it arrives, that's why. Any word from the SI people or some tech savvy person out there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any word from the SI people or some tech savvy person out there? they are sticking it to US players like usually. hope EA Games is gonna act like this at least once, so they will see how it feels.

Scott McC Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 If you're in the US, then only Worldwide Soccer Manager is available through Steam from the 17th. The only way you'll be able to play Football Manager is with an imported boxed copy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorcoo Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 I mean, it's not the end of the world. I can wait til my copy gets here, but if this silly STEAM registration doesn't work for me because I'm in the USA, I'm going to be less than pleased. I'd just rather not wait if I didn't have to. Is there a way to connect to STEAM by UK Proxy or something? I'm not overly technologically able, so I'd need some advice on this front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott McC Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 If you can't authenticate via Steam (and you might not be able to since it's an imported product) then you should still be able to authenticate just via the web. Obviously you'll have to download the patch manually if you do that, but that's straightforward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorcoo Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 Yeah, I'm hoping that won't be an issue, but my gut is telling me it will be. Do you (or anyone else) know of another alternative? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott McC Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I don't I'm afraid. You can certainly try it through Steam and it might well work since you're not buying it *from* Steam. I've never tried to activate a foreign game myself, so I couldn't say if it'll work or not. Maybe check on the Steam forums to see if someone's in a similar situation, even with a different game?

senorcoo Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 Well, if anyone either knows for certain, especially regarding the activation of a foreign game through STEAM, please let me know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jase19 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 The best solution is for SI to stop selling WWSM and just give us FM. Make us all happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegr8anand Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Yes you can do it. Doesnt matter where you are activating from. I read this on some other thread and a mod had replied this. I searched for it but cant find that thread. But yes you can activate FM09 from US. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
