Armchair football managers around the world, rejoice. The Football Manager 15 beta is now live, allowing players access to the current build of the full game set to launch on November 7.
The Top 5 New Features in Football Manager 15
The beta is only available to those who pre-ordered or pre-purchased the game: download codes were recently sent out through whichever retailer you bought from. Plugging the code (likely sent by email) into Steam will activate and download your product--after that, it's happy managing.
The beta is a version of the full game, not a demo, missing nothing but network play and the out-of-game editor. You will be able to play as many simulated days or seasons as you can, and most importantly, save files can carry over to the full release. The beta will likely end a few days after launch, but since it's only available to those who purchased the game, everyone using it will be able to switch over to the full version.

Football Manager 15 brings a range of new features to the series, including the ability to customize your manager's attributes for the first time. You can be more of a tactical manager who specializes in the mental aspect of the game, or a tracksuit manager more suited to a hands-on coaching role.
There are also changes and upgrades to the UI, 3D match engine, and in-game mechanics like scouting and searching. Football Manager 15 is available on Steam for $49.99, though various online stores offer a Steam download code with various price cuts--look around the web for a deal before purchasing.
