You have to edit your shortcut target. Right click your shortcut or start menu icon and change the target to this: "C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Worldwide Soccer Manager 2008\wsm.exe" -small_screen The part in bold being the key difference. Then you should be able to pick windowed mode in preferences. From there you can manually resize the window to you liking. |

It was last year. Canada replaces whatever European country whose structure is used to make the league and then, it enters European tournies and such. Always a nice plus. |

I did last year, so I imagine I'd do the same thing year too. I don't bother to play in those countries though when I have the PLA. |

As mentioned earlier, I have a swap with Norway that works swell. I'm gonna try Sweden one more time and then I'll be done with the database editor and can finally get to playing. |

Sigh. Sweden happens to be one of those countries that you cannot swap. I spent way too much time fiddling around to figure that out. So, my options are to use Sweden with an .edt file and live with Swedish regens OR use Canada disguised as Norway with regens that work properly.
I'm choosing Norway, so I'm going to square the edges and make it look pretty and I'll be ready to play. When I'm done, I'll put a readme in the zip file with all the changes made to the default db. I'm kinda sad Sweden didn't work out, but I'm happy there's light at the end of the tunnel finally. |

Just downloaded and printed out Marc's Tips and Hints and am going to read over it a few times in preparation for the real patch.
Haven't played the FM/CM series in a couple years so I am very much looking forward to diving back in.

Hmm, according to the change list the WWSM digital download patch might be more recent than the normal FM beta patch? On that change list printed out before the match engine stuff goes up to v648, on the change list I'm reading after patching it goes up to v651.

I am debating about downloading WWSM versus just getting it from Amazon... I have gone both routes before and don't really recall any negatives of the download...
Before I jump in an download am I forgetting something about why I would not want to do so? - FM Genie Scout works with it right? |

The SI forums are a nightmare to navigate, but within 3 minutes of visiting there today, I discovered that people are applying the WWSM beta patch to the download version, and now the game is asking for the CD, so they can't play the game. Urp.

When trying to startup a new game using the PLA_2008, I get an "array out of bounds" error. I selected a bunch of playable leagues (ENG, ESP, ITA, MEX, SCO)

How the hell do you register a player if he's ineligible?
And does someone have access to an English version of the manual? |

In my experience, this typically happens when the game is trying to seed a cup competition and one of the teams has a bad value for it's "last division" or "last position." They can usually be clicked through, thank goodness. If you notice a wonky result, let me know and I'll fix it. Thanks for pointing it out. |

Right now, all we have is the industry standard "beta-release this, earn some revenue, and fix it later" PC program. I believe most people know not to form an impression before the first official patch is released. |

This is what I am getting. Seeing if trying it again works. I see that the link a few posts above here has the same name, but when I started downloading it it is 50 MB bigger. I thought the download yesterday being only 28mb was odd.

Just got WWSM from Amazon today. Patched, started unemployed and ended up at TOP-Oss in Dutch first division. Woo-hoo!

As far as graphics go, SI has really screwed the pooch.
Unable to edit the default skins attributes colors. Championship level jerseys are worse than previous years. Cannot, no matter what I do, get the templates off in the background. I've had the game for a week, and still don't have it ready to play yet. Big SI fan, but really bummed out by this. |

Patch works well for digital download version. One nice tweak in the patch is the balancing of own-player evaluations. Before the patch, all players on my team were regarded by my assistance as "best player on the squad". Now there's more variability in evaluated talent level.

Amazon has said "Carrier notified to pick up package" since Thursday evening. Don't carriers pick up packages from there all the time?
