    If you feel like a nostalgic trip whilst waiting for the install to finish.

    I got a nice shock when I bought it today.

    I was told it'd cost €53 and in the end it cost me €35. Very nice.

    Installing as we speak!

    I've installed the game but you have to connect to do an online activation with your product key and it keeps saying I'm not connected to the internet.. Joke!

    Did you manage to do the online activation superfrank? I can't do the phone method either because when I ring the number for ROI from my mobile it tells me I'm not from the correct region..

    That would be great thanks. Here's player photos for the Finn Harps squad

    I'm sure every other club has squad pics on their websites.

    Yeah, it's working perfectly for me.

    Loads of people on other forums complaining that they have the same problem as you do. Apparently, the system is just overloaded.

    What installation method did you use? Did you do the online activation? I've been messing around with it for at least 3 hours now!

    Soft Anchor has overloaded and crashed so no one can get on at the moment. SI are attempting to fix it, absolute jokeshop to be fair as some people who actually got their game fully installed have had it crash their entire system as well

    Yeah, using the online activation thingy. It's only 34% installed at this stage after 50 minutes or so.

    You're in for a nasty surprise.. I used the STEAM online installation and my code worked fine then. Then when I went to actually play the game it asks you for the activation code again using the SoftAnchor software that Jebus mentioned and that's where their server lets you down.

    I went and installed the game using the regular method then and it still needs you to activate online using the SoftAnchor programme. The phone number they give you as an alternative to the online activate gives an 'out of office' message back.

    Shambles.

    Some people are now saying that when you get the game installed you have to go away and install DirectX 9 to run it properly as it's not built in to the game

    I was gonna buy it, but people are having less problems with the pirated version, guess what I'm gonna do

    Why can't they just let us install it the "old-fashioned" way?

    Sounds like a lot of unecessary hassle. Glad I didn't buy it.
    Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.

    Got it registered in the end. They are idiots for not realising everyone would be trying to activate it online at the same time!

    The 3D match view isn't working for me.. I mustn't have high enough specs for it.

    I got mine registered just now.

    Clearly, it was all the el fans clogging the system.

    Got mine last night (2am ish) - so bypassed all these problems - bought it online via Steam so it was installed and patched automatically.

    You can use all the graphics from 08 in 09 with no problems.

    Very impressed with it so far - the patch makes so much of a difference.

    The 3D is grand (i'm on a new laptop I got a couple of weeks back - so it runs fine) - nothing better than seeing Jason Byrne stuff one in the top corner against Shels from 25 yards at a virtual Tolka Park.

    Data looks fine - everything is where it should be.

    Sadly no Kevin Hunt - even as a coach or such

    Anyway - I've been invited to an "Ireland Trial Day" where I can run the rule over two teams of players who have been released by their clubs with a view to signing them - which is a nice touch.

    Also found out that you can add individual journalists into the game - with their own characteristics (inflammatory, probing, boring, etc.) who then appear in the Press Conferences.

    A lad I know has done a massive one of those files for England - gonna have a look and try to do one for the League
    Kom Igen, FCK...

    Enjoying it so far.

    The 3D view might not sound great (or look it) but it's a million miles better than the old way.

    It's a lot easier to sell players on this one. I remember on previous versions, you had to repeatedly slash a player's price before any club would bid for him.

    AFAIK, the update came with the one I got as well. On the New Game screen, there was a choice to load datad from two files. The automatic one seems to be an updated version which is pretty good.

    Yeah have to say, the EL is very shoddily researched.

    Mark Hutchison with Rovers, Gavin Peers listed as RB, Steve Feeney as CB, Raff only a RW same as Ventre RB only & Cash RW only.

    David McDaid is also in the game twice...

    Poor form from SI. Lazy.
