Football Manager 2013 gets release date

Sports Interactive has announced a Football Manager 2013 release date of 2 November.

Those that pre-order through selected retailers will gain access to a beta version of the game around two weeks before the full release.

The beta version will allow players to access the majority of the game's features, such as the new Football Manager Classic mode.

Sports Interactive studio director, Miles Jacobson, said: "Our fans are very good at letting us know what they want and the one thing that's consistently at the top of their wish list is an earlier release date.

"While we can't, strictly speaking, offer them exactly what they want, this Beta version is the next best thing... a fully playable Football Manager they can get their hands on around two weeks before the finished game hits the streets."
