 Have been trying to find info on this,
but alas it appears to be one of the least
publicised releases around!. Just on the
network multiplay option do you need
a CD for every player? or can you run say
3 (as seems to be the norm) from one
CD or even all 8?

EA would like to squeeze the most money out of you, so you'd have to buy
one CD for each node on your network to get it working. However, if
anybody managed to get it working with one CD on the whole network, I'd
appreciate if that person would email the solution to  me privately... ;)

PUT THE CDROM on your SERVER and up to 8 stations can play NETWORK ONLY - no
SOLO play allowed!!!  Very nice marketing/programming strategy - other software
companies should follow EA's lead on this one....

Well, the manual says as long as the HOST has the CD in it, that's all
that is needed.
