Fifa Manager 09 SACKED after 1 season

[Taggin]

Like in the topic i'm sure many ppls got this same problem so somebody got the solution?;/ i know ea sports made it for protect their produts...

[Joe Forster/STA]

You mean, there's a trigger that hasn't been cracked?

[flanken]

yes, EA announced the protection officially, here

http://www.fm09.de/publish/en/home/fm-blog/fm-blog.html

I think this is same as fifa09 manager mode, so u need a new thing as fifa09

[DABhand]

To OP, do you have an original disc?

Im sure you can use it at end of the season so you dont get sacked.

[Taggin]

so somebody know what to do?

[Grumpy]

Use your original disc.

[wolfsrain]

Play the game without a crack. FIFA Manager 09 has online activation as protection plus some extra surpruses for the people who pirated the game. Once you activate your game, there is no need for a DVD in drive, also.

dude You dont know what are You talking about...
do You own the game? I DO! and as well as on RLD as well as orginal disc team sacks me always after one season!
this is the very same trigger which should be for pirates but they didnt fix it, as well as on Dead Space there was one protection fault which makes game freeze, RLD did fix it... so cracked is better IMO

by the way, WhyTF they are rushing so much with update?
the Fifa Manager update came always after 2-4 months and now? :)

You know whats the funniest ? their explanations :D
"If you have founded a club and play with a strong Reserves team, there is a problem at the end of the season and you get sacked as well. This is a bug and we have to apologize." hahaha sorry im playing on orginal im a FOUNDER of my club and im sacked, im playing like a manager and im sacked after promotion! plz no bullshit EA

Well thats a problem EA can help fix.

Assuming you really do "own the game".

Any problem related to the game, email EA tech support or phone them(though it might get expensive). Make sure you have neaby a proof of purchase, you might even want to make a photo with the original disc and box to send them, so they aknowledge the fact that you have an original. And that's about it.
And by the way, as a side note, NFS Undercover will have the same online activation as all the EA games released since July. High possibility for Mirror's Edge to have the very same DRM. Will see about the next year games, as EA can't afford to lose any more money.
When high profile games don't sell as they should, it's not only the external causes, but something might be bad internally (sorry for the 600 people that will lose their job until hollidays - way to go EA, kicking people out around that time).

[theholyone]

yeah I just solved problem there is a "trick" to solve it, You MUST register at EA after instalation (its not nessesery) there is skip button so i skipped always, cus there was no connection to internet on my lap, i 'moved" game to my pc register game at EA and this 'trigger' is GONE, IMO EA suck, IF YOU DID SKIP you will be sacked even if You own ORGINAL GAME, too bad for ppl who dont have access to internet (believe me there are some!)

[wolfsrain]

Actually all the EA games released lately are using a variation of this protection (online activation and some "nice" extras to cripple your game if you don't comply to their requests). Yes, I know EA sucks. After Mass Effect, I've stopped buying anything that requires online activation. I'm the type that plays a game even after a good deal of years and I like to be sure that I can still play a game that i've paid for it.

[Taggin]

rotfl so even if i will get original cd key i can get this same problem?;/

[theholyone]

sure, untill You register at EA :) that sucks i know :) at least it work on my 2nd pc :)
They should post any info in readme to register ive never registered any of my games Fifa 09 fifa 08 and so on and it didnt cause any problems heh since now, im wondering why EA didnt put any info in readme about this to register at EA to play as ORGINAL not even with orginal without registering as pirated

FUCK YOU ELECTRON*C ARTZ 1. Pirated Version
If you play with a pirated version you get sacked at the end of the season, that's for sure. If there will be a new pirated version without this problem, we have other things that won't work. Enjoy. FUCK YOU!:mad:

[wolfsrain]

All the EA Sports line-up for this year it's using online activation. EA wrote with tiny letters on the box and in the manuals: internet connection required. For more info please visit....Aren't they sweet?
I've wanted 5 games from EA for this autumn: RA3, NFS Undercover, Dead Space, FIFA Manager 09 and Crysis Warhead. But me burned with Mass Effect and Bioshock, I've decided to spend those money on games from other companies. Maybe I'll buy those when a collection or a budget edition will come out and I'm sure that I can play the games even after a couple of years.

[DABhand]

In all fairness, its a simple online activation.

People cry about using their discs all the time and intrusive protections.

Then they cry again when its the opposite.

I mean ffs, EA has given people the opportunity to protect their media and still people complain. And the most who complain? Thats right warez users. Moaning face cheapo's. :P

This is not a warez site and the forum doesnt support warez issues either.

Please take your rant elsewhere.

[wolfsrain]

What I'm complaining mainly is the limited number of installs and the fact that we don't know for sure if EA will release a patch to remove all that DRM after a year or two. I can post the pictures for Bioshock and Mass Effect. And if Bioshock it's not a subject to complain (well, it is partially, but Take Two said that they will remove the protection completely next year), Mass Effect is. Ranging from poor support to the limited number of installs mainly. Yes, I do rant on the EA official forums, too. And, I won't buy the games that I wanted to buy this autumn from EA. It's my choice.
That being said, I'd leave the matter to a rest and I'll hope for a budget edition without a drastical DRM that affects the customers and not the pirates. The pirate versions don't have limited install numbers, nor a need for online activation(i can partially accept the last, but not a limited install number). Not buying, not playing and this is it. Hell, I have friends working at the Ubi, EA and Activision/Blizzard and they are doing the same. Not even them aren't happy with the new policies as they see the effects of the new DRM first hand. The tech support number is costly, the customers aren't happy, they are swamped in calls, mostly that are sounding threatening and they are tied to the company's policies. I feel sorry for them, as the decisions are taken by the higher ups and those aren't willing to hear about the things that they deal with on a daily basis. What can I say, when you trat customers like stray dogs, don't expect a rise in popularity charts.

How will they remove protection if activation part is contained in setup, thus requiring an internet connection just to finish the installation?
I don't believe there will be something like "copy entire DVD onto your hard drive and replace setup files with fixed ones"...

[theholyone]

releasing update moron... w/o protection (I dont think there's auth during instalation, it only checks if disc is orginal [think so, i dont own fallout 3 european version])
ok but back to topic
@wolfsrain there is no limited installs just limited number of pc's
You can use it on up to 5 PC, different configuration will be noticed, too bad there is no option like in tages to export file and upload it to www they supplied i cant play on my lap now i need access to internet, too bad my admin does not allow me to add 2nd pc (mac and wpa2 auth) and i got wireless on one only...
this is good idea from one side (activation is done at 1st run of the game later you dont need DVD) but on another hand no internet = no play

[TippeX]

rshone just got a holiday...

@theholyone, nice try at an excuse there with 'my laptop does not have inet access, and my admin doesnt allow me blah blah'... pity the games also allow offline activation via email/phone/whatever which kind of shoots your argument down in flames

[wolfsrain]

theholyone, try the following things: format the hard, just reinstall the OS, upgrade any given component. You might be surprised to see how your activations are burning.

[nando2002]

the patch #2 for FIFA09 includes now a de-authorize.bat file to recover your activations.
the patch was released today.

[Grumpy]

There's are step in the right direction, now only time will tell what they do about the activations in say 2-3 years time. The obvious thing to do would be to release a crack which removes the activation process.

First, I'd like to see you call me moron if we meet face to face, and second, yes, activation part is the last step of installation. If you cancel it, it will roll back everything and delete copied files.
So whatever they do, the game will still require an internet connection.

Stop being childish, flaming or attacking forum members will get you into trouble.

But if a moron is someone who starts fights then yes perhaps he is right :P But he is wrong for calling you a moron first off.

[albertd25]

Could you please explain the (i 'moved" game to my pc register). Thanks.
