Installing brand new data updates and databases is easy all you have to do is extract the file into

'My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football manager 2008/db' and then select the database you want when prompted to upon starting a new game in Football Manager 2008.

easy!

Did you extract it?

The prompt should appear when you click "New Game" from the start screen.

Go to the place where you saved it and right click on it and then select open, it should start "unzipping patch" once you have done this. It will do all updating automatically for you. If this does not work, re-download and instead of saving click run and open the file, againit will uzip patch and do everyhting automatically

Simple solution really, don't use a crack buy the game, it was £15 at some places, if you can't afford £15 a year then go out and get a job as you clearly need one.

Hi all, I'm new to this forum.

I've installed patch 8.0.2, but my question is are all the previous patches and updates included in patch 8.0.2, or do I have to install all the other updates as well to get everything completedly as it should be?

I assumed patch 8.0.2 is cumulative so all the other updates are rolled into it, but is this right or should I install all the previous updates and patches first? I've never done an update to the game before patch 8.0.2.

Thanks

Hey Ive downloaded the rich_britain database and when the file downloaded I went to Extract it but it does not appear to be Zipped or compressed or anything, when i click on it it just says windows needs to know what program created it to open it?! It does not prompt me when I start a new game so i must be doing something wrong? Can anyone help?

Hi

I have just downloaded Football Manager v8.0.2 and it is in my db in the football manager document and it is zipped. However, when I right-click it to extract it, it wont allow me to extract, it says it is blocking it to help protect computer.? What do I do?
