The demo is limited to only the leagues of England, Scotland, France, Spain, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Australia, playable as quick-starts.[3]
Digital rights management
Football Manager 2012 is the first in the series to require the use of Steam software; this angered many thousands of fans of the series.[4][5] The move means that users must activate the game online before they are able to play. Sega indicated that the change was intended to reduce piracy.[6]
Reception
Football Manager 2012 has been well received, with generally positive reviews. In particular GameSpot said that the "ability to turn leagues off and on was a great addition".[7] The German website 4players.de rated the game with 88% as "sehr gut" ("very good").[8]
