Football Manager 2009 Goes Gold

Demo set for release on 2nd
November

Sports Interactive & SEGA Europe Ltd. today can announce that Football
Manager 2009 for PC and Apple Macintosh has gone gold. The demo for the PC and
MAC is also set for release later this week from the early hours of Sunday 2nd
November.

There will be two different versions of the demo available for PC and MAC, a
‘strawberry’ and ‘vanilla’ version, with both providing half a season of
gameplay. The saved games from the demo will be compatible with the full release
of the game.

The strawberry version of the demo includes player pictures and club badges,
with quickstarts for the world’s biggest leagues, giving players a chance to try
out their skills in leagues from multiple countries. This version of the demo
will also include all language translations for the game. The strawberry demo
will be available to download from midnight on Sunday 2nd November from Steam
(PC only) at http://store.steampowered.com and via
www.sigames.com as a torrent
or direct download, with bandwidth for the direct download provided by
GameShadow.

The vanilla version of the demo is
English language only, and features the English and Scottish leagues, with no
player photos or club badges in order to reduce the size of the download. The
vanilla demo is being released exclusively from midnight on Sunday 2nd November
via the News Of The World website.

Football Manager 2009 for PC and Apple Macintosh, and Football Manager
Handheld 2009 for Sony PSP are both set for release on November 14th.
