    Has anyone else played the demo? I've been playing for a while now and think its great! One thing about the demo though is that it only displays the English lower divisions badges and players bar the big European clubs, I hope this gets fixed before its release but at the moment its looking good.

    If anyone watches soccer am, they'll know about their team 'the badgers', FM has the badgers on there with Lovejoy, Fenners, Knoxy, Tubes, Sheephead etc in the team! Have a look if you've got the demo.

    all the badges and player photos will be in the full version, its only a demo o they have to keep the file size small. i guess the game is an improvenment of 03/04 but its going to take me a while to continue to get used to the new interface

    Aye they're on there! I accidently stumbled across them after Partick signed 53 year old Phil Neal off them! Bit disappointed that they had all the photos except the legendary Fixtures man (Robbie Knox).

    Its pure class, the only thing downfall would be the lack of SPL action but still a great show. Dont know where i'd be Saturday morning without it!

    Sorry mate, but you're wrong. They don't have SPL logos or pictures because they didn't get the right license for this version, but they'll prolly have it for 2006 they say. They couldn't get the EPL teams either because those are under exclusive use by EA for their FIFA (and probably TCM) game. I'm fairly confident, though, that somebody somewhere will make some download for the EPL and SPL sooner rather than later.

    What about the player pics Jarad? Surely their not under licence aswell? Also, if you get promoted to the EPL on the game does your badge automatically get taken away?

    No because only the teams in the EPL currently are under license with EA. Player pics are under license I believe, although I'm not positive. SI says that they asked all the teams to send in pictures of their players for the game and some did, some didn't. Maybe Celtic just didn't send in pictures. I wouldn't say it's beyond out board... :icon_mad:

    A few of the derby squad have got pics mainly the British ones and a few havent, is this all down to the club sending pics do you know?

    Whilst playing the game a message came up on my screen saying who had been called up for the u19 squads and to my amazment somebody I actually know is on the game! Scott Hillman, look in your u19 teams.. He used to play for grangetown in my league and ive played against him many times.. Knew he had trials for celtic & blackburn but never thought he was on the game! Anyway, hes 16 on there take a look.

    In real life he now plays for some crap regional side after being kicked out of celtic and being rejected by blackburn.
