EDIT: More info.

I’m really excited to be able to announce that the release date for Football Manager 2013 on PC & Mac will be Friday November 2nd at 00.01 GMT – that’ll be the time we’ll turn on the Steam servers to allow people to start playing the game.

This year we also have a very special reward for those people who have pre-ordered the game from participating retailers – you’ll actually get to play a version of the game 2 weeks upfront.

So, 2 weeks before release those who have pre-ordered (from participating retailers, which I’ll have to repeat every time for legally type reasons) you’ll be able to download a beta version of the game which will be very close to the final game, and play to your hearts’ content. The beta will include FM, classic mode & challenges, but will not include the network game.

This beta version will be playable until Monday November 5th, so if your game doesn’t turn up until Monday’s post, you’ll still be able to play, but you’ll need to install the finished game after that point.

Saved games will be compatible with the final game.

You can find a list of participating digital, online & bricks and mortar retailers who are participating in the pre-order reward scheme here.

As an extra special bonus, people who buy FIFA13 (PS3 & Xbox 360) from GAME retail outlets in the UK and pre-order FM13 from them at the same time will get a voucher for £5 off the retail price of FM13 on its release. This offer is only available til the shops close on Monday 1st October.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.
Cheers,
Miles

I've bought every version of CM/FM since CM2, so no doubt this will find its way onto my PC again. Lets hope that along with the new additions to the game, they have actually fixed the match AI holes that have been there for a couple of years now. fingers crossed next years game will have a new match engine.

I've been playing 97/98 again recently and have found it more fun than FM12!

I'm sure that with each version, the release date goes back a week or so.

The last couple have started with a build up of about now, just a little longer to wait this year with the first week of November instead of some point in October.

Still wish they would stop teasing us
 
so am I right in saying if I pre order it on steam today I get to play the beta on the 19th October?
 
Yeah there was a 25% off code on the £29.99 price on green man not sure if its still there (made it £22.50 though which is about the best price out there)

You wont get access to the beta from there though as it needs the key which you don't get till the release date, which is only though pre-purchase on steam sadly.
