The Football Manager 2023 Beta is out now and fans are starting to notice that Erling Haaland is rather good on the game.
Players who pre-ordered Football Manager 2023 can now download the FM23 Beta, giving those players almost three weeks of early access before the game is officially released on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. But, players who purchase FM23 on Steam, Epic Games or Microsoft Store from now up until the release will also be able to download and access the FM23 Beta today.
Haaland has had a sensational start to his Premier League career, with the striker scoring 15 goals and registering three assists in just 10 league appearances for City so far this season.
The Norweigan international has continued his good form from last year at Borussia Dortmund, where he scored 22 goals in just 21 Bundesliga starts in 2021/22. This incredible form has seen the striker given a strong Football Manager 2023 profile, with the 22-year-old boasting some ridiculous attributes that make him one of the most powerful players in the game.
On FM23, Haaland has some stunning individual attributes including 20 determination, 19 pace, 19 natural fitness, 18 finishing, 18 off the ball, 18 composure, 18 jumping reach, 18 anticipation, 17 penalty taking, 17 acceleration, 17 balance and 17 strength. On FM, attributes are rated out of 20, making these attributes truly impressive.
Players are now able to test out the new features in FM23, with Sports Interactive introducing a Recruitment Revamp, new Match AI and Animation, the new UEFA licence, Supporter Confidence, Dynamic Manager Timeline and much more. And players are also finding out who are the best players in the game, with Manchester City striker Erling Haaland proving to be particularly strong on FM23.
Sports Interactive has also announced the release of FM23 Console this year, which will be playable on Xbox Series S/X and PS5. But, it's been confirmed that the FM23 Beta will only be available for players on PC and Mac, and FM23 Console won't be available for early access.
In addition to FM23 Console, Football Manager 2023 Touch will also be released on Tuesday, November 8, 2022 for Nintendo Switch and Apple Arcade, so the game can be played on iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV for the first time.
Football Manager 2023 will be released on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. If you haven't pre-ordered FM23 yet, anyone who pre-purchases FM23 on PC and Mac from a participating digital retailer between now and the game’s full release will get access to the Beta and 20% off.
