Sikker Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I bought the game 15th Aug for £22.99 at 365games.co.uk. But that was before the talk about the game being more expensive in Euroland (mainland Europe) than in Poundland (UK). Then prices rose on gaming sites pretty much simultaneously and now it's £26.99 on 365games... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

reflection22 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Yea I ordered from them last year and again this year. Last year they sent the code out on the day the beta was released a few hours beforehand, we will definitely get it in time :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikker Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I bought it there too, but I still haven't got the beta. I ordered it a month ago. I got my code 25th September. The code is seemingly working fine with Steam. It says Football Manager 14 in my Steam library. Obviously nothing has been downloaded yet, though.

That has always been the case when I buy a digital copy of games at whatever company. So I guess GMG would e-mail you as well when they decide so...

I just read on this forum that someone had a beta key sent to them and it said it was ready to download on 16 oct 2013 at 00:01 so I've shot on to my pc and as I have ordered through steam expected to see an install option on the game but I was greeted with football manager 2014 coming soon. I presume that it means 00:01 17 oct what means they have put an incorrect date on the email.

RTHerringbone Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 It'll drop in a little over twelve hours at the very latest. Hurrah. Not correct. The official statement says "the early access period will be around 2 weeks". It is 12 hours until the 17th, but the pre-release Beta will not necessarily be available exactly 2 weeks before release. http://www.sigames.com/news/14236/Football+Manager+14+Pre-Order+Offer+Early+access+Beta Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

reflection22 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Got my code just now also, I have one day off work today before 8 days of early shifts in a row, doesn't really matter to me when it comes out, won't have time to play it properly for about a week anyway.

isignedupfornorealreason Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I think they've obviously misphrased it. They're giving you the codes because they anticipate the Beta to be out two weeks prior (i.e very soon). So you now have the codes, which, when put in steam gets you the game ready and primed for download when the beta inevitably comes out. Someone obviously dropped the ball by including the date and time though. >_> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welshace Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Just to finally put a stop to all the speculation... The only time anyone will know (retailers, us, fans, online retailers.... anyone) will know when beta is out .. is when it's announced on this website/official twitter etc. Not a minute before... Wouldn't want you all to be expected it to be out when there's every possibility of it not being today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubey84 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 30% off code persuaded me to pre-order, against my better judgement after the laughably bad release of FM13. I was surprised to get that email from GMG this morning and even more surprised to put the code in on Steam and see no Install button for love nor money! Ah well. As long as the game works eventually and we haven't been given incorrect keys then no worries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

k9killer Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I think this is reasonably poor by SI games. They should not be advertising "pre-order and get the beta 2 weeks early" if they cannot specify a date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
