I want it. However, I don't get paid until the end of the month so if I go buy it now I'm gonna be short of funds for the next 2 weeks.

If you're referring to the SoftAnchor setup after you've installed it via STEAM, your code isn't wrong. SI's servers have gone down, so no-one can activate their copy of the game and play Football Manager! I'm terribly miffed. It's a god damn shambles, and all this STEAM rubbish is absolutely pointless, and has only further gone to create problems.

Few people ive spoke to said it takes ages to install then always stutters whilst playing a game.

yep its telling me "The application couldnt connect to the internet" after ive put the code in


what a ball ache

I've just this second done mine...

Got it installed, took a while to get the code to register.

Quite impressed so far. Just need to get on with some scouting, and decide who to play as.

Just Downloading that Patch (yes there's one already) because as usual its full of bugs.

Does the patch download automatically with STEAM?

still not going through

Apparently STEAM gives you auto updates. It'll say on your home screen whether you're playing FM 9.0 or FM 9.0.1.

Good god. Patches already? I've got exams this week (professional exams, I'm no tax dodger!), so I'm putting off getting it this week as I will do no studying whatsoever if I do. Hopefully they'll have sorted out the t'interweb issues and I'll get on ok.

I now have a week to choose my team.....hmmm.

totally ed off with it, over 4 hours trying to upload this game! what ever happened to just sticking it in the disc drive and installing it simply!! website constantly down, total unproffesional, taking my copy back for refund tomorrow

Going To Get It Sunday And Have A Bash At All This Installing Business Your Talking About, Hopefully It Will All Go Smoothly...
