    I have no experience with steam but from my limited use of it with the demo i dont want to go near it, if i buy the disk do I still ahve to authenticate with steam everytime i want to play it

    it's not that bad really. as long as you've got a good internet connection it doesn't bother and it actually bcomes quite handy, as you can buy all you're games off them and not have to worry about losing the disc. plus once logged into your account you can play the games on any PC which is handy (although i think FM is restricted to 5 for some reason).

    According to the SI forums, when you buy the disk you only have to authenticate online (or over the phone) once per install. It doesnt use steam.

    oh, ok so the retail one uses a different system to the online? feck that, i think i'll just buy it off steam so.

    edit: apologies for the double posting

    Is SoftAnchor the alternate way? I'm not familiar with it. Was gonna use that way when in install tomorrow.

    I entered my cd key into steam, which worked and it started to launch the game, then up popped another window to enter the key again(SoftAnchor) which doesn't work for me, or for most people(SI have acknowledged this and said they are working on it)

    Game just died a death on me there when I tried to enter the tactics screen from a 3d match. 3d match viewer is the bees knees though I must say, Chris McCann scored a 30 yard curler for Burnley against me just before the crash.

    No. Just for the initial install to authenticate your copy.

    The game basically crashes every time you play a match in the 3d viewer, not good!

    Between college and work not going to be able to get my hands on my copy until after 10 tonight. Really hoping things have started moving a bit faster by then...

    I had my authentication code accepted and now steam says its downloading the game. Should it be doing that? Before it started it told me it would take 1-2 hours. Shouldn't it just be installing the game from the disc?

    I think I fixed the problem I had but now it says it's updating the game and it will launch the game as soon as its ready. GREAT! right? no, because it also says that this will take 7 hours. Surely that cant be right?

    Sorry for the double post

    Just reading there about the sheer amount of people having problems reading the authentication code, which is some dodgy font.

    Mad that no one (from the publisher, Sega?) spotted that before it going on sale.

    It took me about three hours to load but then it took up most of the remaining space on my laptop.

    AFAIK, the main people are having is with the SoftAnchor activation requests...which I'm having now.

    It surely doesn't. There may be some issues with the new system, but they should be ironed out soon
