Basile Boli Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Hi guys, Just wondering how many of you will carry your beta game onto the full version? If the Beta is the full game (without full testing) then surely we could start a proper career game with multiple leagues and just carry that on once we update to the full version? I take it the full version will only fix bugs that people find during beta testing? There will be no database changes between the beta release and full release?

santy001 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 There won't be any database changes - in theory - if something significant had somehow gone wrong then there may well be but that applies to all games at all times. The game will still be in beta and that does mean the potential for bugs, but again this is something present in all games. To ensure the absolute smoothest gameplay ideally you would start a new game with a new patch (which is what release day would be over the early access version) but there wouldn't be any issues in all likeliness that would prevent you from carrying on.

le_crab Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Normally I have a test game where I try to get my formations sorted so I use the beta as a testing period and then dive into a long term game when the proper FM is released. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameuss Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I started a save on the 13 beta, and it continued until around July of this year (2120 by the time I retired it for good). It's certainly possible, just depends how happy you are with your initial setup I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Although you can normally can continue a save after a patch it's always best to start a new one I find. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostpoolie2 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I also use the demo as a test game and start a new save once the full game comes out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hluraven Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 There is unlikely to be a full database change between the beta and release, but if SI find any major database errors then they will likely correct them with a .dbc file as part of the release version.

forameuss Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 You were manager for over 100 years? Three managers. First two for around forty each, third one for the rest of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted September 17, 2013 Administrators Share Posted September 17, 2013 I normally start a game during testing (even before the pre-release beta) and more often than not it's been absolutely fine to continue it post-release. However as we always state, due to the nature of some fixes, it's always best to start a new game for every fix. Certainly ones related to league rules/dates etc. But unless there's a major issue raised it beta you should be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QWERTYOP Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Depends how much I like the save and where I start. I intend to start the full game with Bury this year, but i'm tempted to play as Monaco in the Beta just to see what it's like & enjoy having some money for a bit.

duccio Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Is the beta a full game in the sense that it can be updated to non-beta version for free on Steam after the actual release? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrIgz Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Is the beta a full game in the sense that it can be updated to non-beta version for free on Steam after the actual release? Yes, it is. You can just continue playing a save from the beta if you want. It's really the same game with the exception of release day bug fixes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
