I know we were definitely informed of it a while back, so looks like the First Div will be in.

Kits are to be included as well, they specified what file formats to ask to get from your kit supplier.

This is splendid news, although I'm no fan of the series.

I wonder if it would profit Sports Interactive to approach the FAI again. Under the ancien regime they struggled to get the courtesy of a response to licensing queries for Football Manager and when they did, the figures requested were unrealistically astronomical.

Dropped our disc into the FAI on Wednesday.

We had to give them Kits, PLayer head shots, and stats for each player.

I'll have to purchase 1 of them playstation thingys i suppose!

Is it any good on PC?

I'm so excited!

Very unlikely considering they only have about 5 Premiership grounds.

It hasn't been licensed though (which would allow them to use badges, headshots etc), and they've had no co-operation at all from the FAI regarding stats and suchlike, despite repeated requets.

Ah, ok. Well, the FAI didnt require clubs to take standardised headshots like other leagues have. no excuses for the crests though as they have done that this year. be thankful though, it could've ended up like germany - fake names :eek:

Heh - the 8th is my birthday - and the day after the Bohs - Rovers tea party in Dalymount.

When Sensible world of Soccer first came out, a mate of mine who was from Monaghan always used to insist on being the Mons even though they were proabably the worst team in the game.

i think what will happen is that the premier will be in the game no doubt about that but the first division teams will be in the cups but you wont be able to select them as your team! like football manager when u have a cup game against some 3rd tier italian club.......

Maxi won't be happy if Dundalk aren't in this!! Fifa headquarters better buck up their security a bit if they're not:D.

Like in Fifa 2001-2, when the season finished, 3 teams went up, and who ever went down came straight back up. So like there was only 3 other teams in the english league. (crystal Palace, Birmingham, and someone else it was)
