Administrators Neil Brock Posted October 20, 2022 Administrators Share Posted October 20, 2022 The Football Manager 2023 Early Access Beta is finally out (and the gifs can stop), so before you dive headfirst into your managerial suit/tracksuit/sheepskin, just a quick note to say if you’d like to leave some feedback about the Beta at any point, this is the place to do so. Whilst we won’t be able to reply to everything posted, what we can assure you is that people from within our team will be reading and discussing your topics internally within the studio. Please make sure that if you come across something you think is a bug, raise it in our Bug Tracker where our QA team can review it as quickly as possible. If you have a technical issue, like say a crash or you’re unable to get into the game, please read our Technical FAQ which is filled with troubleshooting suggestions that should get you up and running. What we try to ask every year is we please if you’re raising feedback, try and make it constructive. The full list of our traditional ground rules can be found below: Constructive feedback is helpful. Constructive doesn't necessarily mean positive, but at least give us your reasons. Help us to help you by giving details. Respect other opinions. We don't expect you to always agree but take the time to read posts and respect their position. Please take Tactical Discussion elsewhere. We've seen that these types of threads can see posts focused on the tactical side of the game and whilst this is interesting, it's much more appropriate discussion for our Tactics, Training and Strategies Discussion. Don’t make it personal. Attacks and the like won’t be tolerated. SI Staff and our volunteer moderating team will engage where we can, but any abuse makes that much more unlikely. Now I commend you if you’ve got this far, albeit I’m shocked you’re not already playing FM. Maybe you’re waiting for the download to finish? Regardless on behalf of everyone at SI, we hope you enjoy and come the end of the season the trophy cabinet is stuffed full of silverware! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Beckham Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I managed to download it easily for me. I am gutted there is still only South African league in the African contintinent. Considering how many great players have come from Africa I wish Sigames/Sega would invest more into the African leagues. I am off to start a Nottingham Forest save to see if I can survive the Prem. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Beckham Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Has anyone else had issues getting facepacks to work when transfering them over from FM2022 to FM2023?

kiwityke1983 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I just cleared my download cache in steam and then the game started downloading. Worth trying if you are still having trouble.

janrzm Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I'm excited, just setting up but still troubled by the avatar accessories...... So the new watch isn't visible in game and of the 14 attire options available at start up only one allows you to see the watch. Would it have been more cost effective just to ask us to imagine he was wearing a watch? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

autohoratio Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Slightly disappointed to see this is unchanged. I made a feature request a couple of years ago requesting that the size of the picture you have to add nodes to be increased in size, because on a 1440p monitor it's really awkward and fiddly. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
