Football Manager 2009

Kinda wish I'd downloaded by Steam now, an awful hassle to use the cd every time.

**Neish** · 08/02/2009, 10:34 AM

Well it loaded, saved and played last night without the CD so I assume I used steam

Went back to 08 at the weekend. For some reason 09 never really grabbed me.

Can anyone recomend some decent free players? (All positions)

Is there any way of adding a new league to a country??
i.e. the A-Championship to Irelands League

Was wondering that myself, there doesn't seem to be a create a competition option in the edit menu in the data editor

No you can't add in a new division.

True. The league structures are hard-coded unfortunately.

Anybody have any ideas as to why the game just crashes in the middle of a game and exit out of FM09 entirely?

Cause SI made a mess out of this game and generally couldn't give two ****s about it

I have FM07 and am thinking of getting this but have a few questions:

(a) If i buy this will i have to download extra programs since SI ****ed it up ?

(b) Would i be better off with FM 08?

(c) How much is this going for at the moment 25 quid ?

A - No. You can choose to insall via steam (a separate program) but you don't have to.

B - No, espescially not after the next patch (before the end of the month).

C - Around 30 I'd say.

Go on to the SI forums, and add this dump for the testers to check, hopefully it is something that has already been picked up and will be fixed for patch 3.

And as for the above poster. Grow up.

I'm sorry but I must be thinking of a different Football Manager series than the one I play. The one I play is finally getting sorted out for all it's bugs and glitches (including being unplayable on the day of purchase/release) a few months after I handed over my cash for a copy of the game. In essence they have used me as a tester of the game but have charged me to do so. The one I play also has hundreds of fanboys that refuse to see any fault in SI as a company, or FM as a series, but you wouldn't know anything about that would you?

I do think it's a shame that SI don't regard a proper test cycle as a priority before a release , it makes buying the game before the first patch has been released a frustrating experience
