I've got all the four previous FM on steam and also tried to pre-order the new one, it says the same, it isn't available in Brazil for now, do you have any idea when are we are going to be able to purchase it? I mean, i'm going to pre-order it with or without the discount anyways, just wanted to buy it as soon as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
podunkboy Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Here's what I'm going to do - wait until oh, say, October 13th, see what features will hopefully be announced, buy it with my 20% off discount, play the beta, not get upset about any bugs, and eventually log around 2,000 hours of playtime. Oh, and of course I'll log into the forum periodically to moan and complain, can't change that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

treble_yell_:-) Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 20% discount makes the Steam version an absolute no brainer this year.

Ernest166 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I hope FM17 will be on x64 machine as a lot of players will be able to play on a stronger machines and run the game better. Have to say that after after 8-9 seasons, the game is a bit slowly and it is annoying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFuller Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I really like this loyalty discount - it's a great way to reward your most loyal customers. I'm set for a 15% discount (FM14 was the only one of the previous four games I skipped), and that's fine with me. I am seriously, seriously tempted to pre-order this year's FM for the first time ever... but I'll hold my fire until any major new features are announced.

So will all copies of the full price FM17 get FMT no matter when it's purchased , or only at launch ? Quote And whether you pre-purchase or pre-order Football Manager 2017 from a participating digital retailer, or a participating boxed retailer, you’ll get Football Manager Touch 2017 (for PC, Mac or Linux) completely free Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloista Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 It's a pity the offer doesn't extend to FMT17 to be honest. For the last few years FMT is the only way I've played FM due to my tight time constraints, and even with the discount FMT will be cheaper than full fat by £8 for me, despite having the full 20% on offer. A half-rate offer (2.5% per title) would've been fantastic... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 20% off offer is nice, but I nabbed FM16 on launch for almost 50% off on one of the online stores doing a double discount, and they'll probably do it again, so might as well wait.

Chewy2006 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Hi, I've got all the fms 05 to 16 boxed versions of the game however until last year I had them all listed on my steam but for some reason last year it wouldn't let me log in to my steam account so I had to create a new one so now I only have fm16 listed and when I've tried to put the old fms on so they would be listed on my new steam it won't let me as it says the old fms are on a previous steam account. I was wondering how would I be able to get the 20% discount for fm17? Or would I not be eligible unless I can somehow get all previous fms on a steam account? kind regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 The 20% discount was a nice gesture, but I ain't going to buy it until we see the list of licensed leagues/teams, I'm still hurt by the Brazilian league licensing issue. Even so, if I buy it how will I know if I'm not going to lose a league which I bought (like Brazil)?. Please clarify and take my money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madeirabhoy Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 its always at this time of year that i have 2 seconds of excitement followed by a few hours of being really ****** off, and for once id like the subject to be answered rather than it normally is with posts deleted or threads fobbed off then locked. yet again, FM2017 is much much much more expensive in the eurozone. according to the blurb, its 34.99 in the uk which according to google is €40.44 and once again non british players are being asked to pay far more, €55 which is 47.60. 36% more than in the uk. thats an absolute disgrace and a constant insult to those of us not in the uk, who've spent a fortune every year. even with a 10% discounts as alas although i own about 7 version of the game only 2 are in the offer. the daft thing is i won't pay it which means SI games will earn less from me. ill do what i always do, either: 1. buy a boxed copy, get it delivered to my dads, just so he can read the serial number to me over the phone then chuck the disc and packaging in the bin 2. buy from a semi legal company selling foreign keys 3. wait til its in a sale this doesn't happen with other games, so the problem lies with SI and Sega, not with Steam, and its not even the extra 12 quid, its the principle.

I prefer FMT, but will buy full fat anyway, as I'll get both and do like some saves in full fat. Tbh, at some point I'll buy it for my tablet too, ffs........ I wonder though, if anyone playing FMT through the full fat app is counted as playing full fat? You could buy FMT cheaper as a standalone last year, but if you bought full, you'd have them both in the full fm program(the single game loader like 14 and 15) rather than as separate app like they're doing with 17.

Yeah this, I am playing Football Manager Classic 2015, Steam display just shows that I am playing Football Manager 2015. I guess doing them as standalone downloads is the only way to get accurate figures for the 2 versions. Anyway can't really complain at £28 for both, I will buy it no point saying I won't as I said that for 15 and 16, I would have been right had I not bothered with 16 but I am still loving 15. This is the only game I buy now anyway so buying it is no big deal even if it ends up rarely getting played, I will be interested to see if we are able to do a bit more in FMT (should have stuck with Classic name) with the Create-a-Club feature and what else we can do.

Control, or complete scrapping of tutoring, and optional full youth intakes would basically make it perfect for me. The option of having multiple leagues active when doing challenges would be a bonus too. A little more flexibility in the Create-A-Club would be well received too. It was disappointing that you couldn't switch the nation of the club you were editing to make clubs that play in other countries league structures, or impose squad building rules like Athletic Club or Chivas. I'd also like the option to make "immigrant clubs" for lack of a better term, that their regens would come from another country, like Assyriska, Lusitanos, FC Romania, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
