Click and wait for the save box, don't right click and save as, that doesn't work.

Takes about 20 mins.

Goodbye weekend.

It's not the finished demo.

That will be released tomorrow.

base, I love you.

It's a leaked mirror of the official demo. Look at the URL - "notw"

It's not working anymore

Just started off as Man City. Demo is England only.

that's quite gay.. it doesn't work

The *official* COMPLETE demo is released tomorrow, surely you can wait.

Who says its not complete?

Why would play.com have it wasn't?

I am aware that it is not officially released until tomorrow, but why would Sports Interactive have given it to play.com if it isn't complete and if it isn't complete, why include an installer pack?

Looks pretty damn good to me.

I thought it was Sunday it was getting released (the demo that is)

I'm only saying what has been said on sigames.com forums (official SI site).




Late tomorrow night if all goes according to plan. (again according to forums)

Is the demo in the News of the World this week?

No. It's available from their website.

Pah, I'm too caught up in FM06 to care for a demo.

I have FM07 on pre-order, so I'll dedicate the remainder of the time I have with this one to try and finally secure the Premiership for St. Mirren.

FM07 says:

Queen's Park. Estimated value = £15.75M
Livingston. Estimated value = £1M
Gretna. Estimated value = £475k

For some reason, those are the only lower league clubs in the demo.

Must take the stadium into account

Either that, or history!

I'm liking this though, it'll take a bit of time to get used to. Its awfy busy. The pre-match team-talks seem good.

I've already established a connected with Bohemians. Darrius Vassell deosn't fancy going to Ireland for a year though. Paul Dickov recommended me a left back, when I asked him about any Scotland players.

Sun Jihai just gained English nationality - this could be an interesting feature for international bosses.

Takes some getting used to!!

Would also like to add that I hate the Premiership! Lost 3 games in 3 with Spurs in the league That after beating Hearts 2-1 and Southampton 4-1 pre-season!

Looking quite good though.

Moan: Why the hell can't the ball be thrown to the keeper?! - cheatin bassas!

Has anyone done anything new so far apart from pre-match team talks/setting up a feeder club???

The demo is now available to download

Strawberry Download.

Edit: Thats the link from the SI website but it doesn't work for me

I'm downloading that one just now but just waiting for it to stop, according to some people on the sigames myspace site you have to use the torrent download

I managed to download it normally and it's working, strange it didn't work for some

Any know where I can get the Demo so I can go a Scottish Team.

Doesnt Work.

The link doesn't work or trying to go a Scottish team doesn't work?

They worked fine for me about an hour ago.

I'm just installing the Strawberry demo now.

For anyone having problems downloading the Strawberry Demo!
For some reason the Strawberry Demo doesn't work when you try to download it with IE, use Firefox

That was the case with me so I decided to try using FF and it worked, I will be downloading the Strawberry Demo when I come back from the football

The Strawberry demo lets you go a team from the SPL or the First Division, but not the Second or Third.

How do you use Firefox.

go Here

It a better browser than IE by miles.

***Cool new thing alert!***

I just played Ayr, as Gretna, and I got a penalty.

After the game, I got a news thing, and one of the Ayr players said the penalty was a shite decision, but that he wouldn't criticise the ref in case he was reprimanded. It also came with a "View Incident" clicky.

Nice idea.

EDIT: I got a chance to make a comment, and when i chose "I think the officials got it right", and as I clicked "Confirm" the game developed an error and crashed!

I'm guessing it was a dive!

Anyone spied the subs warming up yet?

yeah, it a bit disconcerting wondering where they gone sometimes...

I'm annoyed about that.

This is all gobbledygook to me, could someone a) post a link that actually works or b ) tell me how to do it myself.

Sports Interactive

That's where I managed to download it from. Just click on the Strawberry download and follow the instructions.

do i click premium or free?

Free

That was the first thing I noted in the game. I thought they were having a fight on the touchline!

Here is a screenshot after my first game in charge of ICT. Dave will like it

first signing on game paul rudden haha, dundee got no right back, whole game looks good but haven't had time to sit and play it properly yet

My first signing of the game was Duncan Ferguson!

How you got the Caley badge on yours?

Might be way off the mark here, but I'm guessing he downloaded it from a website, same as most folk did with FM05 and FM06

It doesn't exactly take Einstein to figure it out.

SPL badges are already on the demo(strawberry version) when you download it.

This is blowing my mind, the last Champ I bought was CM01/02, compared to that this is like quantum pyhsics.

Started a Man U game, had to sign Almunia from Arsenal as a backup keeper, trying to get Saviola to provide competition up front.

I downloaded the Demo.

Does anyone know whether the actual game will have the Premiership badges and also the pictures?
