Now correct me if im wrong, here is how I see the situation.


You and your mate go out shopping, your mate buys the game, you say to mate "Hey mate, wouldnt it be cool if we could play each other, to see me win as ultimate manager". Your mate says "Your arse, ill be better than you".

He makes copy, he gives to you, you get no-cd cause its asking for cd all the time.

You try to play each other online, but cause the game has to go through the game server first, it notices you aint using the correct exe file and therefore stops access.

How much did I get right?

Approximately 0.6%, and thats the bit about me calling my mate 'mate'
