Its not cheating, its called a bug. Report it in the bugs forum.

There is only one occasion on which Football Manager 2008 will cheat you...

and that's when you hand over your money for it.

I wonder just how many of the people who complain so vociferously about the game, actually did pay it?

I am guessing, very few. A dodgy image off the Bay and twenty five minutes messing around with YASU and Demon Tools and they come on and whinge blue murder.

:thdn:

Oh and of course the game calculates the vast number of results according to pre-determined stats.

Do you really think an Amiga 500+ could have calculated all the results in the Prem League, let alone Europe on 1mb of RAM?

Get real!

AS has been explained a thousand times; detail level affects results. It isn't a conspiracy if its _working as designed_

So people who 'get' the game for free are more likely to complain than those who paid good money for it?

I don't think so

You would be amazed mate ..

In my opinion (through observation on this and other forums) its more often than not the bitching kiddies that are playing rips ..

retired_plasal

Almost as amazed as we'd be by people knowing what Daemon Tools and Yasu are? (Google is the fourth best thing ever invented).

I always find myself amazed at how much detailed knowledge the anti-piracy brigade have.

Just about everyone over nine years old with access to a PC knows what Daemon Tools is for.

It's the #1 reason the PC has been relegated to a 2nd tier platform.

Compare that to 500, 000 or so units of Halo2 on the Xbox so far.

I think it's unfair to compare PC sales and console sales. The PC games market is far bigger in terms of choice.

I would bet if you compared ALL games sales for PC with ALL games sales with consoles, there would be a surprising amount of parity.
