So if it comes out on Friday night I'll be extremely sleep deprived on Saturday and or calling in sick haha. I've got Tuesday and Wednesday off work. I've penciled in at least 15-20 hours of Beta for then haha. So it would be just like Miles to release it early the one time I'm fine with it being just on time.

Additionally, those who pre-purchase through a SEGA approved digital retailer will be able to get their managerial careers underway early through a fully-playable Beta version, which will be available roughly two weeks prior to the official street date (single player careers started in the Beta can be carried across to the full game). that "roughly" is why this thread exists. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The release date for the beta is not an absolute at this point. Plus, we're just using this as an excuse for silliness. This thread is basically no longer about the beta, but to share gifs, 1990's wrestling stories, your preferred Greggs pastry and all sorts of other things besides. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyro Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 The actual calculations, so we stay on topic: So, what do we know: 1. Release Date: 19th November 2019 2. Beta: "roughly" 2 weeks before 3. Is it 2 weeks before 19th November = 5th November? 4. If no, then keep posting here and hope, it "could" be out but maybe not 5. If yes, then we are allowed to expect it to be out, and can ask about it = no more muting In other words any day before November 5th is fair game and roughly 2 weeks before.

andu1 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 No reason to think why it can't be today since it's quite close to the roughly 2 weeks scenario and an extra weekend means a lot for the beta testing purpose. Unless the alpha version is in a state that its too buggy for beta release which means you wouldn't want the beta anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
