Just got my key from GMG.

Nice! Does the preload say anything about when exactly the Beta goes live?

 

[AIP]

Me too! Won't be home for another few hours to install it, but if the size of past FM games is anything to go by, I should have it preloaded by midnight hopefully.

It seems there is no preload I can´t find it.

 

[AIP]

Nope nothing. Just pre-order version will launch soon.

 

[PaulLFC]

Damn At least it shouldn't take as long to download as most games these days.

Well,FM12 still was more than 3gb...

 

[Toma]

Meh, I shouldnt post too much from those games at the forum over there. Sucks though, no way I'll be playing it tonight then with a 2-3 hour download :/

 

[Sordid]

I'm sure I read somewhere that the beta weighs in around 2 gigs, I'll have a quick look to see if I can find it.

Edit: Found it, http://www.sigames.com/news/14165/FM13+Pre+Order+Offer+Early+access+Beta+FAQ

How much space will the beta code take up on my PC/Mac?
Around 2gb of hard drive space will be required to install the beta code

How long does the beta code take to install?
This will very much depend on your internet connection speed. For example with an average speed of 2mb/s it should take 20 minutes. Please note however this is only a guide and it will vary.

I don´t think they´ve uploaded the game yet.

What time, exactly, is the beta going to be released?
There is no set time or date that the beta will go live apart from "approximately 2 weeks before release"... from http://www.sigames.com/news/14165/FM13+Pre+Order+Offer+Early+access+Beta+FAQ

Yeah, we dont know actually yet. All are simply hoping its tonight at midnight.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

Is someone making a separate thread for the beta? I assume the OT can be made now.

 

[Toma]

Yeah, I'd say we switch over to the OT right away. After we found someone who wants to make it.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

For some reason I thought you were doing it :lol

 

[Toma]

Feel free to use this thread until we found someone else who'd like to do it No time to prepare an OT atm.

 

[Toma]

[kharma45]

How do I get access to the beta? This is all I can see

 

[PrematureQuiche]

Mine is just Football Manager 2013. Nothing to do with beta. Try restarting steam?

[Broder Salsa]

[LTWheels]

Well there goes my property law revision out the window!

 

[Blue Geezer]

do we know what exactly is beta about this? I mean are there any restrictions or is this essentially an early release in all but name?

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Awesome! Can't wait for your impressions.

Still on FM2012, not sure if I should upgrade.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

Early Release but without Network Mode or the Editor

 

[Broder Salsa]

Well they will be working on the game up until release, so it will have to be updated and possible some things fixed, but you can carry over your games and everything so it might as well be the full game.

EDIT : No dark skin? How can I play this now?!

Alright guess I will have to deal with it.

 

[InertiaXr]

Does anybody know if you can activate cdkeys on Steam Mobile? I want to have this downloaded by the time I get home..

 

[Hargenx]

I can't find the leagues we gonna have in this game, some one has it?!

 

[PrematureQuiche]

[Toma]

[kharma45]

Twitter log-in not working for anyone else?

 

[Sordid]

Downloading now \o/

 

[PrematureQuiche]

Yeah in the Transfer Rumors section :lol I am playing FMC atm and I drew my first friendly!

 

[kharma45]

FMC? For shame

 

[Toma]

FMC? For shame

FMC has the challenge modes, which look super interesting.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Twitter log-in not working for anyone else?

Don't think any of the network stuff, including FB, twitter and youtube shit works yet.

 

[kharma45]

FMC has the challenge modes, which look super interesting.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. I just jumped straight into the 'proper' game.

 

[Timurid]

Awesome! Can't wait for your impressions.

Still on FM2012, not sure if I should upgrade.

Tbh you should wait until they release the demo next week .

 

[kharma45]

Just signed Fellaini for United, £22.5m. Not too bad.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Torres has had a huge downgrade, which is a pain because now no one wants him when I try to sell him!

He deserve worst. LOL

First game is probably the Premier League lowest -> top playthrough. Cant decide on which team. Boreham maybe, even if I need to admit that their name is playing a bigger part in my considerations than anything else, lol.

Last year I chose the BLYTH SPARTANS (seriously, how awesome was that). Unfortunately relegated though.

 

[kharma45]

I did it with Bath City last year twice as I lost my save with the first one, didn't have the same luck second time round with transfers in the lower leagues so was a lot harder.

Never dared to try any teams in lower leagues than that.

I had tons of luck getting decent 16-18 year olds in my PL bottom to top playthrough. Lets see whether its still as easy after I finally decided on a team. Maybe I'll try unemployed and see whether a lowest english league team pops up.

Do it with my local team Farnborough! We have debts I think but we have one of the best strikers in the league though under Dave Tarpey!

 

[Sordid]

I'm thinking about doing the San Marino challenge. You've got to get the club team promoted to from Serie C1/A to Serie A in Italy and upgrade your reputation/youth facilities etc to try and get some good youngsters through for the national team. Then you take over the national team and try to win something :lol
