JustMike Posted 26 October, 2009 Posted 26 October, 2009 You haven't given enough information for anyone to be able to help. Have you downloaded the right one PC/Mac? yes i downloaded the pc version of the lesser one (strawberry i think its called) downloaded ok but when i try to open it, it comes up with the choose program to open with dialog box.
SO16_Saint Posted 27 October, 2009 Posted 27 October, 2009 how long will the demo version work for? Is it limited to 1 season or 14 days or anything, or can you play indefinitely?
Clapham Saint Posted 27 October, 2009 Posted 27 October, 2009 how long will the demo version work for? Is it limited to 1 season or 14 days or anything, or can you play indefinitely? Half a season
SO16_Saint Posted 27 October, 2009 Posted 27 October, 2009 Half a season cheers. off to the shops on Friday it is then!!
Tac-tics Posted 27 October, 2009 Posted 27 October, 2009 Anyone ordered from Game? Just had an e-mail promising they are doing everything they can to ensure I recieve the game Friday,according to their tracking system its ready for sending, excited
SuperMikey Posted 27 October, 2009 Posted 27 October, 2009 yes i downloaded the pc version of the lesser one (strawberry i think its called) downloaded ok but when i try to open it, it comes up with the choose program to open with dialog box. You need to rename the file and put an '.exe' filepath at the end of it. e.g "fm10demo.exe" It'll work then - I had the same problem as you.

Just had an e-mail promising they are doing everything they can to ensure I recieve the game Friday,according to their tracking system its ready for sending, excited how much did you pay? Ive just looked on Zavvi and it's £24. is that about right?
Tac-tics Posted 27 October, 2009 Posted 27 October, 2009 Yeah that's about right mate, Ive paid £30 for mine so Zavvi seems the better option, just becareful with the strike. I also recieve a free 'managers notebook'
Tac-tics Posted 27 October, 2009 Posted 27 October, 2009 Just comes free from game or you can get a coffee mug from hmv
saint stu 20 Posted 27 October, 2009 Posted 27 October, 2009 think ill hit hmv for the game then, last year i got a free mouse, very handy.....i like a freebie
Jimmy_D Posted 27 October, 2009 Posted 27 October, 2009 Play have a preorder bonus as well, get your name on the cover of your copy of the game.

JustMike Posted 27 October, 2009 Posted 27 October, 2009 still havent sorted out the "windowed" issue. When i play in windowed mode on both 2009 and 2010 the bottom goes off the screen and you cant get to it. why dont they make it so that you can manually resize it?
JustMike Posted 27 October, 2009 Posted 27 October, 2009 ok, first observations are.. i would like to think of our finances to be better than "ok" and only £1.5 million for transfers?
Matthew Le God Posted 27 October, 2009 Author Posted 27 October, 2009 (edited) still havent sorted out the "windowed" issue. When i play in windowed mode on both 2009 and 2010 the bottom goes off the screen and you cant get to it. why dont they make it so that you can manually resize it? Works fine for me. Likely your monitor resolution isn't good enough. Edited 27 October, 2009 by Matthew Le God
Matthew Le God Posted 27 October, 2009 Author Posted 27 October, 2009 ok, first observations are.. i would like to think of our finances to be better than "ok" and only £1.5 million for transfers? Markus Liebherr is a very rich "sugar daddy" in the database and will pump money into the club as and when needed.
itchen_dan Posted 27 October, 2009 Posted 27 October, 2009 ShopTo.net has the game @ £22.85 - mine has been dispatched and is on its way according to the site!
Matthew Le God Posted 27 October, 2009 Author Posted 27 October, 2009 ShopTo.net has the game @ £22.85 - mine has been dispatched and is on its way according to the site! Postal backlog and upcoming 2nd strike may delay it though
itchen_dan Posted 27 October, 2009 Posted 27 October, 2009 Postal backlog and upcoming 2nd strike may delay it though Shame really but going by this thread and your comments it seems well worth waiting for!
Tac-tics Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 I must admit, I was a tad worried about it 'doing a champ manager' and going all squeaky clean and changing the authenticity of player transfers and the fee's being utter stupid. However as possibly the keenest FM fan(apart from MLG) I seriously can say this is the best management sim going. So realistic, with the odd transfer coup and they way you can 'unveil' a signing. Tactics is brilliant and the match engine is brilliant, the fans look **** hot, the small details like player and crowd movements make a big difference, you have away and home fans now, and only one set celebrate. Seriously can not wait for Friday.
Matthew Le God Posted 28 October, 2009 Author Posted 28 October, 2009 However as possibly the keenest FM fan(apart from MLG) I always thought I came across as impartial
JustMike Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 Works fine for me. Likely your monitor resolution isn't good enough. its a laptop, so wider than the usual monitor. the res is fine and works with everything else.
itchen_dan Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 Mine has just arrived!!! Just installed ready to start!!!
Colinjb Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 Mine has just arrived!!! Just installed ready to start!!! What? Your full copy? I don't believe you.
Matthew Le God Posted 28 October, 2009 Author Posted 28 October, 2009 What? Your full copy? I don't believe you. It is quite possible he has. Many people have received it already from online retailers. I got my free one direct from SI this morning, pleased they missed the postal strike.
Matthew Le God Posted 28 October, 2009 Author Posted 28 October, 2009 http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=157403 Very high review %'s St Marco
mynameisthehulk Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=226191 For the first time in its history, the franchise finds itself second best to Championship Manager in a number of key departments - most noticeable, training, scouting and set pieces - and while its superiority remains intact, its dominance isn't as clear cut as in previous years. Football Manager is still the best, but the chasing pack is slowly, but very surely, closing the gap.
Black Sea Saint Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 MLG where can I find out about an online purchase (download ala STEAM) for the Mac? I can't find anything on the fm2010 homepage but I noticed in an earlier post you mentioned something called eSellerate, although I can't see anything about game purchase on their homepage either.
Matthew Le God Posted 29 October, 2009 Author Posted 29 October, 2009 (edited) Unlike the PC version there's no way to provide digital Mac pre-orders, so the Mac download link only goes live when the game is available on Friday. I'll post a link then when it is revealed. For PC you can download it here... STEAM - http://store.steampowered.com/app/34000/ IGN D2D - http://www.direct2drive.com/8483/pro...-Game-Download GamersGate - http://www.gamersgate.co.uk/DD-FM201...l-manager-2010 Gamesplanet.com http://www.gamesplanet.com/UK/pc-gam...0-1545-15.html But won't be able to play until 30th October Edited 29 October, 2009 by Matthew Le God
SO16_Saint Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 is there a way of turning off the annoying match view whenever you go into a match? It takes almost half of the first half to get to the old fashioned score sheet view.
saint stu 20 Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 just heard tesco are selling fm from midnight tonight!
Saint Samuel Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Shame there's not a tesco in Soton town centre doing that, nearest one is Bursledon... http://www.footballmanager.com/index.php?p=article&newsid=3575
saint stu 20 Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 i reckon it will be on sale from about 10ish tonight, if so will be able to play it or has the steam activated thing allowed it to not be available until tomoro?
