FAQ post to answer your questions about the Football Manager 2023 beta version.
Answers to frequently asked questions about the Football Manager 2023
beta version of the game.
The next instalment of Football Manager is released on November 8th. Betas are released before the entire game, approximately two weeks before the full release. This time we expect the BETA to drop on October 20th.
But why have beta testing in the first place? The most obvious reason is to test for issues with the game, aka bugs. Creators of FM, Sports Interactive, have in-house (alpha) testing to remove glaring technical issues, but there are still reasons for SI to release the beta product to the public. This can be in the form of either an open or closed beta; whether the beta is open or closed depends on how closely the testers are working with the developers.
Football Manager uses a beta testing style called “early access.” People who pre-order the game get a chance to play it a couple of weeks before everybody else. During this time, developers are hungry for player feedback. Players can report bugs in-game and offer other forms of advice on the community forums. Beta testers like these are the reason “day one” patches exist. The people with early access get the chance to make the games better for the rest of the player base.
