<\/p>\nFans who pre-order Football Manager 2013 to be rewarded with access to a fully-playable Beta version of the game roughly two weeks before launch<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
September 28th<\/sup> 2012<\/span><\/p>\n Sports Interactive and SEGA, the developer and publisher behind the best-selling Football Manager series, are pleased to announce the release date for this year\u2019s game. Football Manager 2013 will be released across the world on Friday, November 2nd<\/sup>.<\/p>\n And for those fans who can\u2019t wait until then, there\u2019s even better news. Anyone who pre-orders this year\u2019s game through a participating retail partner will be rewarded with something almost priceless\u2026 early access to a fully-playable version of the game.<\/p>\n Any fan who pre-orders (or pre-purchases) Football Manager 2013 \u2013 either boxed or as a digital download \u2013 will receive a unique code giving access to a pre-release, single-player \u2018Beta\u2019 version of the game around 14 days prior to the official launch date.<\/p>\n \u201cOur fans are very good at letting us know what they want and the one thing that\u2019s consistently at the top of their wish list is an earlier release date,\u201d says Sports Interactive\u2019s Studio Director Miles Jacobson. \u201cWhile we can\u2019t, strictly speaking, offer them exactly what they want, this Beta version is the next best thing\u2026 a fully playable Football Manager they can get their hands on around two weeks before the finished game hits the streets.\u201d<\/p>\n The Beta version of Football Manager 13 will give access to most of the forthcoming game\u2019s features, including the all-new Football Manager Classic mode and the short-term Challenges (for more information, go to www.footballmanager.com\/features<\/a>).<\/p>\n The Beta version will remain fully functional until Monday, November 5th<\/sup>, after which it will no longer be playable. However, the Beta version\u2019s saved games will be fully compatible with the final release, so none of the player\u2019s progress over the pre-release period will be lost.<\/p>\n Football Manager 2013 will be published by SEGA for Windows PC and Mac on November 2nd<\/sup> 2012. Further information on the game\u2019s new and enhanced features is currently being unveiled in a series of video blogs which can be viewed on the official website, www.footballmanager.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fans who pre-order Football Manager 2013 to be rewarded with access to a fully-playable Beta version of the game roughly two weeks before launch September 28th 2012 Sports Interactive and SEGA, the developer and publisher behind the best-selling Football Manager series, are pleased to announce the release date for this year\u2019s game.
