    In the demo you can also pick the teams in the top division of Scotland.

    I bet poor old beasley is still having to stand in - lead test this game... condolences if you read this DB! ;)

    What's this "you must install protection drivers" about?

    And "Funsta" can go fuck off too.

    I'm interested in looking at a game demo, ONLY - not filling my PC with Codies ads and spyware :(

  • green_nifta #5 5 years ago


    The protection stuff just encrypyts the exe to stop people haxxoring the demo to make it into the full game (the demo is near enough the full game bar the 6-month time limit).

    Funsta just gives a desktop shortcut to codies' casual-gaming website (funsta.com). No spyware. And you just click 'no' during install if you don't want it.

    Tried the demo (360)... and then laughed that I actually entertained the thought of considering this over Football Manager '07. It did'nt help that it made me play as Liverpool either... man I hate that team.

    The Xbox 360 demo was a wasted opportunity in my opinion and doesn't give you a taste of the full game whatsoever. The graphics are very nice as is the presentation but that's about all you can guage as there are very few options available and it's more of a rolling demo than anything else. Very disappointing...

    ... but...

    The PC demo is excellent and totally different from the 360 one. It's loads up to the menu screen and actually allows you to pick a team and manager and actually play the game outside of the matches. Nothing is locked out either and it gives a far better idea of what the game really is like than the lousy Xbox 360 demo.

    Whatever where Codemasters thinking by releasing two drastically different demos... one useless and the other brilliant?!?

    MS only let you have a 15 minute demo on Xbox360 before it has to restart. You can't do much more than play one match of LMA in 15 minutes. That's why it's a much shorter demo on 360

  • SomaticSense #9 5 years ago

    What was the point in releasing a demo of a footy manager game where you only get to watch one game? I understand that they don't want to give the whole game away and that MS has limitations on what size can be downloaded. But why even bother if they know that the demo is in no way representative of the game?

    It's like EA releasing a demo of the car select screen in Burnout (oooh look at those fancy cars, but to actually use them you'll have to buy the full game).
    Or even releasing a demo of a shootout in an Ice Hockey game but not showing an actual game of hockey. Oh, wait.......

    "star force" protection drivers, no less, on PC version. What an enlightened choice ...
