 Let down December 3, 2008
I have been playing this game since the early 90's and followed the SI team from Championship Manger to Football Manager but I have to say they will never see my money again.
I had the game for three weeks before finally getting it activated as my internet connection was down and it proved impossible to activate by phone (even when I got through to the emergency team they put on)!
That aside the game is now activated and working. So, happy days? Indeed not. This game is absolutely riddled with bugs. Even with the released patch it is still proving impossible to play. Crashes, freezes, inaccessible drop down menus are just three of the many bugs that ruin this game. Having had the game working for a few days now it's plain for me to see that it has been released well in advance of what it should have been (probably to capture the Christmas craze).
Take my advice, stay well clear and consider another management game.
SI games and SEGA, how could you get it so wrong?
AWFUL - AWFUL - AWFUL - did I mention AWFUL!!!! December 2, 2008

I am a huge football manager franchise fan and thought I would treat myself today so popped into WHS - what a MISTAKE I made!!!
I have just read the other reviews and agree with all the 1 stars - it took me four hours to get it loaded (the phone activation is an absolute joke by the way) and to my horror the game was slow (on a brand new sony laptop) and everytime I typed in a players name the letters came up twice!!
The game will be going back tomorrow as I can't be bothered downloading all the patches needed just in the first month of release.
I agree with a previous poster - AMAZON SHOULD WITHDRAW THIS GAME FROM SALE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE - the fact that a product has so many errors indicates that it is probably in contravention of the Sales of Goods Act 1979 s14(2) which states that a product sold should be of satisfactory quality by the standard of a 'reasonable person'.
Disgusting!
ATTENTION - THIS IS AN UPDATE on the above written last night
I wrote a review late last night and have subsequently returned the game so I thought I would add a few more points:
- YOU CAN RETURN THIS GAME PROVIDING YOU HAVE UNINSTALLED THE LICENSE
- Also, the shop assistant at WHS laughed when I showed him what I was returning, he informed me that he has personally had 12 returns of this game in the last week alone (unbelievable)
Good luck to all those that want to risk it but I STRONGLY advise you give this product a miss and either wait for next year or choose an alternative.
Please, please, please - all you IDIOTS!!!! at sega show some courage and WITHDRAW THE GAME because you're destroying your own franchise!!!!
DONT BUY- 4 DAYS AND STILL CANT PLAY IT!!!! December 2, 2008

I bought this game 4 days ago and due to the shambolic activation process (set up to tackle piracy) I still cant play the damn thing! Dont get me wrong, anti-piracy measures are necessary but punishing legitimate consumers through awful processes defeats the object. My game came with an incorrect activation keycode and after s spent on the phone to sega support, not to mention effort and frustration, the problem is not solved. I will be taking this back to the shop at the next opportunity. Pity because I bet the game is quite good. AVOID! spend your hard earned cash on something else!!!!!!!!!
Activation nightmare continues December 2, 2008

If you cannot get this game to run even after jumping through all the activation hoops you cannot return it or sell it on as there is way to de-activate any of the five activations you have used as the web site provided DOES NOT WORK!
 What's Everybody's Problem? December 1, 2008

Well, I just thought I'd like add something positive! Got this game a couple of days ago. All the 1* reviews put me off and I didn't really know what to expect. I've played this game for over 24 hrs now and can't find any problems with it. Registering was instant (use uniloc instead of steam), I've had no more crashes than I would have expected (yes even the XBOX crashes sometimes) and the 3D engine runs as smooth as anything. The gameplay is much enhanced by the latest tweaks and I'm very pleased with my purchase. I can't deny the fact that other people have had problems and it may need a system upgrade to get the best out of the game. I'm running 64Bit Vista, 4Gb RAM, Phenon 9850 and NVidia 9600GT. This game ROCKS!
