Football Manager 2009

Bugs & Faults

This years release of Football Manager 2009 has had an awful lot of bugs and faults within the game. Sports Interactive need to sort these problems out if they have any chance of keeping their loyal fan base.

I have personally found a lot of bugs in football manger 2009. It all started with Sports Interactives introducing a new way of regestering the game online in order to prevent copyright and piracy. This involved the user having to type a serial key in to an activation program called unilock / steam. However, this caused many activation problems because gamers could not activate their new versions of fm09 due to an overload on the server. People went days waiting to install and play the game due to the fact they could not activate the game.

Also, people could not read their serial keys because 0 and o looked too similar which meant people could not access their game. They had to go on to this website in order http://keylookup.fm2009.softanchorinsight.com/ decipher the activation code.

I have also encountered problems whereby the 3D match engine fails to load which causes the game to crash. The only way to get around this was to reload the game and hope it worked the second time.

The latest problem I have encountered was that when I tried to load up the game it just crashes and says that the fm2009 is running dangerously low on memory and must shut down. This problem has caused the game to be useless due to the fact you can't actually play it. Even after a re-installation of the game it still does not work.

SIGames need to fix these problems in order to keep their customer.

We need patch 9.3.0

Patch 9.3.0 will hopefully be out at the end of february 2009. It will be an official Sports Interactive path that will hopefully fix all of the bug. SI are very dedicated to updating football manager even after they have sold the game to everyone.

Patch 9.3.0 will be downloadable from http://www.sortitoutsi.net/ and http://www.footballmanager.com/
