In his statement on theSI ForumI, Miles Jacobson explains that the game almost filled the available space and placing the game on more discs than one is unacceptable. He says that the possibility of using DVD drive in FM 2009 is at 95% level.

Are we really facing major changes, or is it only a marketing process and sabre rattling? Maybe we'll find out on 3rd September when the first info about Football Manager 2009 will be revealed. I wouldn't be so excited about the incoming news if it were not for the revolutionary logo on the FM official website and the job offer for a 3D graphics specialist. You have to agree that it's an interesting combination.
