FM09 release 'hardest' day of Jacobson's career

Videogamer writes: "The day of Football Manager 2009's release and the authentication problems players experienced led to Sports Interactive studio director Miles Jacobson's "hardest and most disappointing" day of his career.

Players experienced a raft of issues when trying to authenticate Football Manager 2009 when it was released on November 14 last year. Not only was the font used for the authentication code displayed on the manual too small for some fans to make out, but SEGA-owned developer Sports Interactive suffered no less than three denial of service attacks on the day of release, one targeted directly at its phone lines."
