For those that want to try before they buy...........

You can still get the full version on sale at www.fmreporter.com for 26.99.

We’re pleased to announce the Football Manager 2013 Demo is now
available to download via Steam. As with previous years, the demo will
allow you to get half a season of Football Manager game-time in before
it ends. Then, if the user wishes, that save game can eventually be
loaded into the full retail version of FM13 and continued.

For the first time ever, this year’s version contains a half season version of Football Manager and
Football Manager Classic. The FM version allows you to choose one
‘quick start’ league to play, whilst FMC will allow you to choose three
leagues to run from the start, exactly like you’ll find in the full
game.

As the demo is only available via Steam, you will need to have a Steam
account to play. If you haven’t done this yet, you can do so here – http://store.steampowered.com/about/

Then, when Steam is installed and you’ve created an account, follow the instructions below:

1 – Launch Steam and sign into your account

2 – In the search bar, type Football Manager 2013 Demo (alternatively go directly to the game here - http://store.steampowered.com/app/207890/)

3 – On the right hand side, click the ‘DOWNLOAD DEMO’ button (you may need to scroll down to see this)

4 – Follow the instructions to complete the download

5 – Once downloaded, launch the game and it’ll install and load up.

If you have any issues launching the game, please verify your game cache as shown in the link below:

If you encounter any type of 'Virus' message when attempting to run the game, this is a false positive.
There are no viruses within the FM.exe. We very much suggest adding the
FM.exe to your exceptions list. This issue has been encountered when
running Avira and Avast!

We very much hope you enjoy our FM13 Demo, please feel free to leave feedback within our forum feedback thread found here – http://community.sigames.com/showthr...02#post8199602

Thanks.
