Football Manager 2017 Features Revealed

[JHedges2]

I am unfamiliar with this beta topic in general.

Isn't a beta version likely to be very buggy/glitchy? Starting a save now seems like NOT a good idea?

Also, I am like @Velocityy in that I only got 16 a few months ago--but don't think there's any way in the world I will be able to pass up buying 17 ASAP (now?).

Beta is exactly that, a beta, it's for massive amounts of people to find issues, for instance, the Danish Superliga last year changed to a different format, and the game didn't award prize money after it changed. If you're looking at starting a long-term save, it's not for you. I definitely try to help make FM the best product it can be, and just try to break the game in beta.

As for buying 17, it's really a personal choice, if you're still enjoying 16, it's probably better to wait for sales and get it then, if you're like me where you feel like you've done just about what you wanted to do 17 might be a good leap right now. Unless you want to do bug reports, the beta really isn't important to get in to.

EDIT:


IT'S HAPPENING

I guess I wont be getting anything done at work for the rest of the day.

Is it just me, or does the 17 logo look like its a Nascar number?

EDIT: As this is my first beta, is it not worth adding all the extras to this. Will I have to re-download a release version? it feels odd not having faces and kits and what not. But I don't want to go through all that if I have to end up redoing it.

I always transfer my graphics folder over.

I'm really digging a lot of the changes/additions so far.

So far it seems nice, but I'm just waiting for 2017 to play as Minnesota United.
