Fanatical has an additional 5% off using PASSION4FM so takes it to £32.05. What's £1.10 difference to guarantee a beta code.

I have already been refunded by ShopTo and money back in the back. I will now order from Fanatical.

@LiamG1878 Ive ended up going back on to fanatical to pre order fm23 after seeing what you wrote about shopto and got the steam key within seconds so if youre looking to get the digital copy with beta access i recommend using them mate, gutted for you having to mess around with the refunding of your money.
Thanks for the information about Fanatical. I will order from them once I resolve the refund with ShopTo. Hopefully my experience will help others.

I was just about to pre order Football Manager 2023 from Shopto until i saw your message on here, cause last year you get the code in your shopto account within minutes of paying for the game
I have cancelled the pre order. Hopefully refund won't be a nightmare. I spoke to the chat on messenger and they weren't great. They basically said they aren't sure they will get beta codes despite being on the list of participating retailers. The code will come in the box on 8th November. I see no reason why they would give you two different codes. I asked if they would do it like last year and they weren't sure.

Will probably not buy from there just to be safe, however as you said last year it was a full digital purchase. So hopefully it's just an error with their website and it'll change to be digital.
I have pre ordered. Wish I hadn't now with the uncertainty on how the code will be sent.

I ordered from ShopTo last year. It was a full digital purchase. This year seems different as they will send the box. As a result it looks like you won't get the code until the box arrives. This means ordering from there may not allow to access the beta.

Is this a thing on the Xbox version? Started a league last night with friends and I couldn't find anything under finances for FFP. I know this is the stripped back version but would have thought FFP made it into the game.

I forgot to finish my first sentence but I was going to say that 8gb is plenty on Mac M1. I read somewhere that it is a lot better than 8gb on PC and considering the cost difference I don't think its worth the extra to be fair and the Benchmark results show that it makes no difference for FM and probably only worth considering for heavy video editing or similar
Thank you for your help. I'm now a proud owner of M1 Macbook Air. Managed to get it for £837 with work discount from Currys so I am very pleased with the price. Only moved a save over from cloud and played one game. Seemed to run much quicker between days and match day looked great. Gone from 1 star or below to full stars and high. I just need to get used to the screen size as you could fit so much on the screen with iMac. That won't take long. Outside of FM it's a lovely bit of kit. Always thought I needed a Pro when considering the Macbook but very pleased with this forum, your help and videos online comparing the two. Saved me £250.

I'm using the base model, I read up a fair bit before I made my purchase and its
I've not pushed it in terms of leagues but if you look at the benchmarks I've linked it beats every other laptop tested bar one (a 2.5kg gaming laptop, so aimed at a different type of buyer with all leagues loaded and a large database of 202,000 players
Ignore the stars for speed its well documented that they aren't that accurate and slow for me may be fast for you etc. Trust the benchmarks, they are a controlled experiment with the same parameters.
The real question about whether you're happy with the size of the Mac and the operating system itself
Thank you. I did take a look at the benchmark spreadsheet and I was impressed. It would seem the Air is just as good a purchase as the Pro. Been wanting to replace the iMac with a Macbook for years as I trust Apple. Previously had a HP laptop which was a monster but after about 4 years it couldn't keep up. iMac after 8 years is still producing, I just don't have the time to sit on a desktop playing now. I much prefer a laptop.
The stars are all over the place on my iMac. I didn't realise this was an issue.
The screen size was a problem until I seen one. It isn't a 27" iMac, but not like I can carry that about in the back of the car on a long journey or sit it on my lap.

I have the M1 Air and it runs like a dream. Doesn't get hot, is completely silent and in it's 13" form factor it's completely unrivalled in terms of performance for FM. It also runs the 3D match engine on high.
It's my first ever Mac and I can't recommend it enough.
You can check out the benchmark results here
Thank you for the response.
Did you add any additional memory or storage or go with the out if the box build? I always thought the Pro would be the better purchase due to no fan on the Air. Doesn't sound like it would be the case. Please can you let me know what leagues you have running along with nations, database and what the speed shows?
The Air is all of a sudden becoming the front runner. The screen size when looking at it seems fine and iMac still runs great despite being 8 years old so trust Apple when it comes to years down the oad.

Hi All
I am looking at getting either the M1 Macbook Pro or Air. I've not decided yet. I've seen videos and bits where they state the difference is minimal so go with the Air. I will be wanting to play Football Manager 21 on the go with it, would both play it well? I'm not one to go over the top with leagues loaded and don't tend to go past 8 major countries and around 20 leagues on large database. I currently use a 2013 iMac which still runs the above fine, but the 3D match engine is a no go.
Please can anyone who has either let me know what their experience is like? Would I be future proofing thr next 5/6 years of any FM play purchasing the Air or Pro?
The screen size could be an issue for me. If there's anything out there on a 16" screen with more power to play FM better, I'm more than happy to be linked to in order to better make my decision.
I appreciate any advice.

30 seasons not unlocked for me either and I think I know why. My duration at team is 29 years and 356 days so it hasn't clocked 30 years in this part of the game, despite getting the message about 30 years being complete.

Thanks for the reply Rob. Yes it was only when loading up FM. It disappeared on other games and MS dashboard. The fix for it was restarting the Xbox three times. On the third on it was gone. Thank you for taking a look.

Update
I have deleted the game and reinstalled. This is still in game. This needs fixing as soon as possible. I cannot play the game with it present.

I seem to have come across a very annoying bug. I was holidaying my game save and decided to click on Xbox button on pad and check progress of achievements. Since doing this the achievement progress is stuck in game. I have exited the game and gone back in and it's still showing. I have also turned the console off and back on. It still appears. This is very annoying as it's not only in the way but could start screen burn on my TV.
This needs sorted as soon as possible or I'll be requesting a refund as it's completely unplayable.
Attached (hopefully) is a screenshot showing what I mean.

It is £1.10. Math was well off on that one. Ordered and now have a code.
