Sports Interactive has officially announced that Football Manager 2014 is all set for release on October 31st.
Just like last year, a beta version of the game will be made available around 2 weeks prior to the release date for those that pre-order the game to receive early access. The beta will be close to the final release version, however, Sports Interactive will continue working on the game in the fortnight prior to the game’s release so that any bug reports generated during this period can be worked upon ready for the official release date. Any career started during the beta period will be transferable to the full game when it’s released on October 31st.
Having previously only been playable for those working within the Mac and Windows operating systems, Football Manager 2014 will mark the first game in the franchise to also be playable on Linux.
With cloud saving now available, this therefore means that if you have several laptops/computers that you use, you can save your game to the cloud and happily carry on playing the same save on another computer without having to worry about transferring the files from computer to computer every time you want to play your save game on another system. As long as you’re connected to the internet you’ll be able to save your game to the cloud, and this therefore makes things far more straightforward for those that enjoy the game on more than one system.
