Liscence Laws. There is a way around it, im sure someone will tell you how in a few minutes. But yea, basically, FM couldnt (i want to say afford, but im not sure of the ins and outs) the legals...

Simple response to an idiot question... SI does not have the license for the German National Squad.

And why is it an 'idiot question' ?

If the person invoolved does not genuinly know then its not idiotic is it.

Morre idiotic in fact to put other people down on a whim. Not everyone is a God of SI rules and regulations.

SkidRo

forgot about the licensing and all. damn that shame i cant sign the players they got

I would say it was more of an idiot response. Message board heros all over the place....

heavybass

Reason I said it's an idiot question is because this has been around since FM2005.

Wasnt a stupid question, basically SI dont have the licences so not allowed to put the German team into the game. Also need to refrain from talking about ways around it as SI will need to close and delete this thread.

sebsy

heavybass you are such a moron.

How is skidro to know that? that's why he asked, it's a perfectly acceptable question.

He only registered a month ago, and so has probably never known before.

Stop being such a tool, posting needless comments to someone from behind the safety of your keyboard.

Thanks.

@ heavybass: maybe it's the first FM SkidRo bought? He is just registered since 26 October 2007.

I don't think it has something to do with money as far as I know Germany's national team is not allowed to be included in the game due to licensing rights being owned by EA Sport's FIFA Series.

A bit the same for the Japanese J-League and the Japanese national team who are owned by Konami for their Pro Evolution Soccer series.
