Apologies if this was mentioned already in another thread but i couldn't find it.
FM17 release date has been announced plus some other information:
Football Manager 17

If you sign up for the insider mails and have played previous versions of the game since FM13 through Steam, you'll get 5% off each one towards the purchase price of FM17.

So you are saying I will get 40% off the price of the game since I have them all since it moved to steam :eek:
Never mind saw the max is 20%, them bastards

Well its still impressive you have the max 20% discount!
Not many other franchises ever add in a discount so i will give them some credit for that this time around.

henrik77

How do you go about availing of this discount? Is it just preorder it and it's applied automatically or do you have to do something else?

keithc83

Yeah its applied automatically through Steam, i can see on mine i'm getting a 10% discount on the preorder through the store.

LeBash

My other half buys it for me locally every Christmas, then gives out that I play it non stop for about 2 months.

Jan and Feb are dark early anyway🀗

Deadly. Yeah 10% aswell.

It'll have to be an improvement on 16 for me to buy it

I hated football manager 2016 so I really hope I hear some good reviews about this game before buying it

Impossible to create a good tactic without spending days on it, you have to put the time in like a real life manager and it's slightly taking the fun away from the game in my opinion

I think the me was a bit better than it was in 16

I'll buy it regardless. Best playing time to price ratio I get out of anything each year

Not even close for me, I played like maybe 130 hours of the witcher 3. In one fm my brother and I clocked like 1200 hours

Hi folks,
Just a quick question if anyone can help. Laptop packed in, looking to buy a new one but would like one to run FM17 smoothly. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Paladonia

Inter have done some very interesting business this summer with Banega, Candreva, Gabigol, etc coming in and should make for a fun save in FM17.

Dortmund could be a good one too.

Have a look at PC Specialist in the UK - very impressed with the laptop I got from them.

I don't know if this is much help, but i found the guys over in the Tech section very helpful when i was building my PC before. If you post a thread there i'm sure they will be happy to help:

I liked 16, but maybe I just lucked out with some tactics that were successful without taking me weeks to perfect?

My 3 formations are a 433 with inside forwards and a dm, a 4231 pretty standard and a 442, team instructions etc are very different for each one and all have been used regularly at one point or another.

Vahevala

I have just been reading that FM17 features will not be released until a few days before beta. Awful practice if so.

They want people to preorder as well. It absolutely stinks. :mad:

I would love to see a dynamic league price money.

As a leagues Reputation increases the prize money for the league would increases, like wise if the league decreases.

But i doubt we would see that for years

Even the ability to edit Prize money in game with the editor?

Got 20% off on steam for having the last 4, and I have another €17 in steam credit from selling a CSGO souvenir I was awarded while watching ESL One over the summer.

€26.67 is all I have to pay this year. Bargain.

If anyone is a member on sortitoutsi.net you can get FM17 + FM Touch + BETA Access for £28.14

Got my laptop off them, apart from an unresponsive space bar and noisey fans at times, its pretty good.

31 euro on cd keys without beta access

Dolph Starbeam

Got my first new laptop in about 7 years over the weekend. Very much looking forward to playing FM17 with a large database, loads of leagues, 3d matches (even though it doesn't look great it is better than the 2d overhead that I normally have to sue) and not having to wait an age for the game to respond.

Had an issue with the one I sent and sent it back. It's been perfect every since. I did order over xmas so they may have been busy.

Rebel Rebel

One small addition i like to see is a club filter by reputation(star rating) in the job search screen

The screen kept jumping - was highly annoying.

If you dont mind me asking what laptop did you go to run the game well?

I've got a MSI gs73. Way over the top for FM but it runs pretty much every game available on high settings. 17 inch screen and the whole thing is wafer thin. Unfortunately it is stupidly expensive.

The wait is almost over. Tonight on our website at 8.00pm BST we'll be unveiling the new features you can expect in Football Manager 2017.

To mark the reveal of the Football Manager 2017 features we'll be hosting a Live Q&A

Fans who are not in attendance can watch the new features video on the Football Manager website and watch the Live Q&A on the Football Manager Facebook page from 9pm BST. We'll be taking questions from Twitter and you can participate using the #AskFM17 hashtag anytime before or during the broadcast.

Is the Beta out tomorrow ?

Rebel Rebel

unlikely, wont be ready for this weeked, see timeline of news below from FM Scout

http://www.fmscout.com/a-what-we-know-about-football-manager-2017.html

ball park; 2 weeks before release is Friday 21st of Oct

Mars Bar

It looks good.

Mc Love

New features are impressive although I might not use some, but FM17 could be one of the best versions ever on paper

Uriel.

Haven't played an fm game since FM2009 and haven't been playing that for a couple of years

The game now looks far more detailed and complicated... Eek

The_Kew_Tour

I only got Mobile version for 2016 and I like it.

Might get thus one though. Not got one since 2011.

Not sure if it's too much detail now, that's why I like Mobile version.

Mister Robinson

FmScout doing the game for £34.99 including the beta and its working out about €38-€39 due to the weak pound.

Edit: Forgot to mention FM touch 17 is included as well in the offer.

Damn FM17 and Civ 6 both out the same weekend then by the looks of it.

Uriel.

It's out the same weekend as Battlefield 1

I was thinking the same thing but realised that Civ VI hasn't got a release date on Mac yet so this leaves me with FM17.

For anyone who ordered on FM Scout, what did you put in for postcode? I keep getting an error there no matter what I put in.

Edit: Nevermind sorted it

Unearthly

The social media part could be good I just hope they have thousands of different tweets saved and that we don't keep seeing the same messages
