SI have just announced FM 2017 will be out on Friday 4th November. Pre-orders will allow you access to beta game roughly two weeks before release.

Also those people who have FM 13, 14, 15 or 16 on Steam can get 5% off the Steam price for FM17 for each previous version you have. So if you have all 4 you get 20% off! Pre-order by 11:59 on Friday 14th October to get up to 20% off.

I always found an offer for this under £20 usually (pre order) so might wait despite the 20% off.

I signed into Steam and saw that you were online. Was going to mention FM17 but thought I'd better make the thread before I spoke to you.

Yep. Already pre-ordered mine. I wonder if FM18 will let you get 25% off?

I thought about this, wondered if it's too soon to pre-order then ignored the voice in my head and got it. I know as clear as day I will buy it, I've notched up well over 10,000 hours since FM2009.

Admittedly that includes a fair amount of idling time

Friday 4th November? Frigging hell, it'll be the Winter transfer window before the game's playable.

I skipped 16 so I've really got an appetite for this one.

Indeed, seems late this year. Hopefully it is worth the wait :cool:

I only played for 70 hours, just couldn't get into it at all for some reason. I miss FM09 and FM10.

SI do tend to release a patch on the day the game comes out now its all on Steam. I think that is why they let everybody who pre-orders into the beta test as it gives them thousands of people who can find and report bugs in time for them to try and patch them on release day.

20% off for me. Pre-ordering. Apparently there is a mascot designer included this season

Ooh Touch is available as a freebie. Nice.

Newbfail · 17 Aug 2016 at 19:40

any new features?

and FM2033 will be free!

Probably preorder on payday, not expecting any massive changes but it's the only game I know I'll get my moneys worth with time played.

You took the time to work that one out?

I used to think that SI worked on a two year system with developments. So FM05 was the brand new version with lots of new features and FM06 was the version that refined features before FM07 introduced new features etc. However last night I found an article/interview with Miles which suggested that SI worked on a 3 year cycle in terms of features. If my maths is right FM16 could be the first game in the 5th 3 year cycle.

I tend to only buy the even numbers

So i'll be skipping this one and sticking with 16. 940 hours played so far...

philstanbridge · 18 Aug 2016 at 17:11

1826 hours in 16.
