Smac Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I remember this from last year as well. How about some links scattered about to the effect of "Download FM2009 now!". I find none on the homepage, here, etc.. Eventually I'll figure out where to get the game, but wouldn't it make some sense for these kind of links to be prominent everywhere? I'm no marketing genius, but lots of patch/problem links, and no sales link....... Or should I take this as a warning sign? (not that I would). For instance, the most likely candidate for downloading the game: http://www.sigames.com/news.php?type=view&article_id=1306 Fail. Try again! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ftg87 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Think the only digital download this year is via Steam, you can get the links for that from the FM 09 site (footballmanager.com), left hand side of the screen says BUY NOW! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahmufcwafc Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 You can buy the download version off Gamersgate as well, remember seeing that in a previous thread. Also, you can buy the download here as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, says it all to do with Steam tbh mate, I have read quite a lot of stuff on here about them since release and, for the most part, they don't come off in a good light, if at all possible I would get down the shops Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, says it all to do with Steam tbh mate, I have read quite a lot of stuff on here about them since release and, for the most part, they don't come off in a good light, if at all possible I would get down the shops Hey mate, wish I were in Somerset (or Sussex, for that matter), but here in the states the shopkeepers say: "WTF is FM? Soccer? Eh? Wot?". So I download every year. To be fair to Steam, I've had friends who've reported liking the service, but its ironic that it won't set up for me, just when I'm having a moan @ the link-ability of the download. Thanks to above for alternative links. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashOverride Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yeah its all good but those links are for Football Manager 2009 whereas surely in America its World Wide Soccer Manager 2009?

I dont know if fm2009 will activate in america or if it needs to wwsm2009?Anyone have a clearer idea than me? I remember that last year there was some issue about certain versions being available for activation in only certain areas. Not sure about this year. Am downloading currently from Gamersgate (FM, I think, but we'll see!). Thanks again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you have to activate if you buy the digital download version of the game, do you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smac Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yes, you do. At least this year. By the way, all went well with GamersGate. Game is up and running, patched too. Sorry to hear about the bugginess this year as the game looks great. C'mon January patch! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashOverride Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Glad to hear its gone through with out any problems. The majority of the serious bugs have been fixed in 9.2 but some do still remain. Hope you have a sucessful career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
