sufcdan Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hi guys, i noticed a few people playing the beta and saying they are just messing about with it until the release date which is when they will start their ''PROPER'' save? Is there a reason to do this? i thought the beta is pretty much the full version? and any patch that comes out release date will be save game compatible anyways?

Administrators Neil Brock Posted October 23, 2013 Administrators Share Posted October 23, 2013 Yeah you can start your 'full' save now. I've already started my 'Home' save with Nantes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti Spiral Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Any bugs will be fixed in the future and will be compatible with your save. As far as I know the data is all locked in so no changes will be made to that so there is no need to wait. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenco Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 There is only a need to wait if there are bugs which affect the game so much that it dampens your enjoyment of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coen Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I think peoples experiences with the FM13 beta may mean they are reluctant to start a "proper" save on the beta this time around. I know I am, because there were so many issues with the early match engine in FM13 that in hindsight I think that persevering with my beta save last year actually led to quite a lot of frustration with the game and in the end meant I gave up on FM13 a lot earlier than I had with previous FMs. If I'd just waited before starting my "proper" save last year my overall experience would probably have been very different and a lot better, which is why I'm sort of holding off really getting in to a save on the beta for FM14.

Winto Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 It all depends how perfect you want the game to be when you start playing properly. Some play from day 1 beta and some wait until Jan with the final patch to play. The game works either way, but always worth playing around with the beta just to see if you think the game is "broken" or not. Personally I wait until the main release and ideally after a day 1 patch (if there is one). Anything after that I can cope with save game compatible updates. Like I said, it's eager you are to start playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiigman Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I'll wait for the full version as updates can't change the database and there are a number of problems with the database. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpassosbh Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Yeah you can start your 'full' save now. I've already started my 'Home' save with Nantes. Also had this doubt, but after reading this review, I will start my first proper save (Southampton). Thanks Neil.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Mongoose Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I like to make some changes in the data editor before starting, which means waiting for the full release. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Beezer Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 The 2013 version was initially unplayable (due to the view-only leagues bug) so I don't think I will start my game before the release day patch... It's tough though since I really like this version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlobben Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 What kind of bug was that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Beezer Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 What kind of bug was that? The game kept adding large number of players to view-only leagues making the game so slow it beacame unplayable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
