Football Manager 2010

[Craterus]

Yeah, I'll probably get it.

There are fan-updated databases though so don't worry, edyz, you'll be able to carry on with FM2010 and keep up with the world of football

For all its worth, tried every single FM. I'm still playing 2007.

I'll not be buying it, absolutely disgusted with the level of copy-protection in the last one. I really don't understand why I have to go through a softanchor verification when I bought it from Steam.

I used to have so much respect for SI, they have always been open on their forums and willing to communicate, but the level of frustration I have endured with FM 09 is unacceptable in my view.

Would these problems occur with boxed versions of the game?

And I didn't have FM09 so please elaborate on this frustration.

Basically I'm a compulsive uninstall/reinstaller and softanchor doesn't seem to like this. Apparently there are ways round it, but they aren't working for me. Generally I'm OK with copy-protection (though the methods rarely make sense) but I do get annoyed when I buy something and am told I can only install it so often.

To be honest the main reason for my annoyance is the fact I bought it on Steam, so surely Steam knows my copy is OK? I don't understand why they forced people to use Steam,then put on another form of copy-protection.
