I'm sure the game is beyond excellent, regardless of the limitations of the demo...

FM isn't a game where you typically 'blast' through multiple seasons quickly - a six (game) month demo is equivalent to quite a few hours play through normal practice.

The reason for limiting the game in this manner is mainly to prevent pirates from hacking the game into a full version, simply put the demo has various parts of the codebase physically stripped from it (all the season updating code amongst other thing).
