A demo of the game was released on Steam in association with Sky Sports HD on 6 October 2011. It provides half of a season of game play, which can be continued within the full purchased version. The demo is limited to only the leagues of England, Scotland, France, Spain, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Australia, playable as quick-starts.
Football Manager 2012 is the first in the series to require the use of Steam software; this angered many thousands of fans of the series. The move means that users must activate the game online before they are able to play. Sega said that the change was intended to reduce piracy.
Football Manager 2012 has been well received, with generally positive reviews. In particular GameSpot said that the "ability to turn leagues off and on was a great addition". The German website 4players.de rated the game with 88% as "sehr gut" ("very good").
