    Football Manager 2017 Features Revealed

    <iframe width="620" height="349" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nrVy4Z6F5CA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Check out the new Football Manager 2017 video featuring some of the major additions, significant improvements to key areas and plenty of subtle touches which dramatically enhance the FM experience.

    Loyal fans of the series can pre-purchase FM17 now on Steam at up to 20% off for a limited period only. There’s 5% off for each addition owned dating back to Football Manager 2013 but you’ll need to get the deal wrapped up early as this offer ends at 11:59pm BST on Friday, October 14th.

      It makes me laugh that this little game can add stuff in one year that FIFA takes two or more years. And imagine that you can create your own manager and give him glasses, unlike the pre-set avatars in FIFA.

                  That is kind of dumb that a pre order bonus expires weeks before its out.

                    To be fair, they did announce the deal and deadline a long time ago. You do still get access to the beta, which will probably be available on Friday.

                      Nice, I didn't care too much about the $2.49 off I would have gotten, it was more about getting the beta/early access.
