UPDATE: I can now confirm that if you have pre-ordered your game through our store or if you do that before October 2nd you will receive the game two weeks before the release date. That’s right, you will receive your download link and your activation code on the on the 10/19/2012 at 00:01. Pre-order now!
Our distributor, DLGamer, informed me that all of those who pre-order or have pre-ordered from our Games Store will receive the serial keys two days prior to the beta live date. Then, when it goes live, you will be able to download the beta through Steam.
UPDATE: We’re ready to give you another 10% discount on Football Manager 2013! If you buy it from us and use this code upon checkout, you will get another 10% off the price: DLGAMER-FMSTORY-10%. So the final price for the game after adding the discount code will be 27 pounds instead of 30!
Great news guys, you can already pre-order your copy of Football Manager 2013 from our Games Store and you will get a 25% discount off the normal price! Our store is providing a fully legal digital download copy, so if you want to download the new game right on release day you should pre order your copy right now!
All you have to do is click on the image below and you will be taken to our secure Games Store where you can purchase your game in full legality! On release day you will get the Steam code from our store and then you will be able to download the game via Steam, as you usually do.
There are several advantages to pre-ordering the game from our digital store:
- receive access to the beta version two weeks before release date
- no shipping, you receive the game through a fast digital download
- you can download the game as many times as you want and install on multiple computers
- secure encrypted transaction, you don’t have to worry about the security of your information
- fully legal, no piracy, so you contribute to supporting those who make the game that you love
- a significant amount from the sales goes to support charities such as War Child
- you also support our site as we will get a small commission out of every sale

How lang is this special offer ?
Johnny Karp
9 сентября, 2012 at 11:46
There is no deadline set, that decision is not up to me but to the distributor (DLgamer).
Niels Theis Bendtsen
9 сентября, 2012 at 12:29
Thanks for the info .
Gaurav Chaddah
9 сентября, 2012 at 14:09
So does mean we get like a code which then enables you to download the game on release date? Hopefully will still be here next week
Johnny Karp
9 сентября, 2012 at 14:14
Yes, basically you get a Steam code via email and then download the game on release day.
Gaurav Chaddah
9 сентября, 2012 at 15:11
Ok thanks for the info this is probably the best option so will do this
Johnny Karp
9 сентября, 2012 at 15:16
I also think that your credit card will not be charged until release day but I’m not entirely sure about that.
Bhargav
9 сентября, 2012 at 16:09
Sweet! Thanks Johnny! I know a couple of my friends will be excited as well!
Darren Smith
9 сентября, 2012 at 16:31
So once you’ve pre-ordered the game through DL Gamer does that mean you go into Steam and download the game via steam upon release? Did you use this method last year Johnny? Do you know if we’ll get the game just as quick through DL Gamer as we would buying through Steam themselves? Hope all the above makes sense, but don’t worry if you don’t know the answer to any of the questions.
Johnny Karp
9 сентября, 2012 at 17:11
It’s almost the same thing Darren, what you get from DLGamer is the activation key and the download is made from Steam as far as I know and remember from last year. What’s different is the price, at least as long as this promotional offer is valid.
Darren Smith
9 сентября, 2012 at 17:18
I thought as much, just wanted to double check. Well it supports the site/community and gives us all 25% off so its a no brainer IMO…will have to pre-order in the next week or so.
Alex
9 сентября, 2012 at 18:01
CHEAPER ON ZAVVI!
If your english and can shop at zavvi, go there. They send games out the day before release most the time, and its only £24.99
Johnny Karp
9 сентября, 2012 at 18:29
I seriously doubt they will send the game before release day. You’ll have to activate it on Steam anyway, so it’s Steam who dictates when the game can actually be played.
Johnny Karp
9 сентября, 2012 at 18:33
Secondly, I noticed that Zavvi already mention a release date, October 5th. Miles said that all those who announce release dates are simply making them up, because there is no release date set yet.
Darren Smith
9 сентября, 2012 at 19:18
I can tell you for a FACT that the chance of the game arriving in the post early is incredibly slim…for 4 years I have ordered disc copies online, once I received the game a day early but couldn’t play it until midnight due to Steam anyway, but the other three times it arrived one or two days late…my recommendation for those who must have this on release day is to get a digital copy just like the one DL Gamer is offering here…that is the only way of guaranteeing you will be downloading the game on release day, that is why I will never buy the game on disc and will always go digital from now on.
P.S. Your comment was a little rude Alex, I wouldn’t have the cheek to mention another seller on the same page that a community is offering their option, especially with capital letters and exclamation marks.
Pedro Roriz
10 сентября, 2012 at 03:41
what a nonsense from that fella! darren and johnny, don’t mind those kinds of people. the option you are giving us here is great! thanks for helping us getting our copies cheaper!
Aaron
9 сентября, 2012 at 22:22
Hi Johnny, this request is a little off topic but I recently got a new computer and whilst transferring files my metallic logos files didn’t fully transfer meaning I’ve lost them from my game. The link supplied on the site has stopped working so I was wondering if you’d have the file to transfer it? The game looks so much different without them now, so any help would be great.
Johnny Karp
9 сентября, 2012 at 22:33
I’m sorry Aaron but that file isn’t mine so I can’t do anything about that. Also, considering it has a size of around 3.5 GB, I can’t think of a way to transfer it to you. If you know of any way let me know and I’ll try to.
Johnny Karp
9 сентября, 2012 at 22:42
You could also try this pack, it’s pretty good: http://www.fm-view.net/2011/11/fmv12-logo-megapack/
Aaron
10 сентября, 2012 at 17:52
That one was great, but I can’t seem to get it to work. I downloaded it and extracted it with Peazip to the graphics folder and reloaded the skin cache but they aren’t coming up?
Johnny Karp
10 сентября, 2012 at 19:18
I guess you should ask for help there, I don’t have it installed.
PeeDub
12 сентября, 2012 at 21:45
How would this work with Steam?
PeeDub
12 сентября, 2012 at 21:53
I’m a bit of an idiot. I searched for «Steam» on the page, but actually typed «Steeam». (They’re a cut-rate outfit, but they actually charge higher prices. :-p )
CsAtlantis
13 сентября, 2012 at 02:22
Nice option to have, have to check my exchange rate (steam sells for 39.99 USD here :P)
Johnny Karp
13 сентября, 2012 at 05:21
That’s a good deal! However, buying from us would support the site too ;)
CsAtlantis
15 сентября, 2012 at 23:36
Will see if DL-Gamer accepts Malaysian customers then :)
Johnny Karp
16 сентября, 2012 at 10:07
I don’t see why they wouldn’t :)
Oops
9 октября, 2012 at 10:02
«This product is not available for Hong Kong.»
I guess I’ve to pay the full $39.95 then.
Johnny Karp
9 октября, 2012 at 13:45
Sorry to hear that but I guess there’s nothing I can do about it.
Oops
9 октября, 2012 at 19:05
$39.95, the official price showing on http://www.footballmanager.com (and digital partners like SEGA and GameStop), is in US dollars?
The special offers from you and other FM sites are shown in UK pounds.
Well, I guess I’ve some maths to do…
Johnny Karp
9 октября, 2012 at 19:28
Generally the prices in digital stores are shown depending on your location (pounds for UK visitors, euro for other EU countries, dollars for most of the others).
Oops
10 октября, 2012 at 10:39
But, I’m still confused about the price, e.g. here:
It says that the original retail price is 39.99 pounds.
But from here: http://us.download-store.sega.com/shop/football-manager-2013
It’s selling $39.95 (US dollars, from where I see). Is this the original retail price?
They’re quite a difference between 39.99 pounds and US$39.95.
So, how much actually is the original retail price? Is the retail price standard?
Thank you.
Johnny Karp
10 октября, 2012 at 10:51
There is no worldwide standard retail price.
Fergus
13 сентября, 2012 at 10:34
Any reason why when you click on the link it says £29.99?
Fergus
13 сентября, 2012 at 10:35
I’ve just read about the discount code, sorry!
Johnny Karp
13 сентября, 2012 at 10:53
No problem :)
Ionut
15 сентября, 2012 at 17:44
I just discovered this site and soon realize that my contribution, by buying the game from your link, will go to fanatic guys that are making an excellent contribution to this game.
On the FM13 — I will say that that I’m looking forward for the new network options and also for that less time consuming play possibility (In the last few years I had a lot of problem finding time to play FM as much as I’ve wanted).
Cheers,
Ionut
Johnny Karp
15 сентября, 2012 at 18:08
That is right, a small portion of the price will go to us and we’ll use that to support the website. So everybody wins :)
As for the game, time is an issue for most of us but I’ll probably stick to the full career mode even though I will probably try all the modes out of curiosity.
dzunglv
16 сентября, 2012 at 08:20
Sorry guys but I get question. Why is it much cheaper through footballmanagerstory.com while it is €49.99 on Sega? I have spent time reading but cannot see the answer, is there any dis-advantage? Sorry but no offense, I just don’t see it through.
Johnny Karp
16 сентября, 2012 at 10:07
There is no disadvantage. Every distributor can set their own price. DLGamer, the distributor that we are working with, decided to have a 25% discount for a limited time. Then we negotiated with them and got another 10% off exclusively for our readers. Let me know if you need additional info.
dzunglv
16 сентября, 2012 at 12:23
That’s great, Karp. Since I’ve been in our community for a long time then I obviously will support you guys. Also, that seems to be a fairly good deal for me :)
Johnny Karp
16 сентября, 2012 at 12:29
Thanks a lot, much appreciated!
dzunglv
25 сентября, 2012 at 02:53
I’m from Viet Nam. I purchased it and than get refund all my money for no reason?
Johnny Karp
25 сентября, 2012 at 05:04
Sorry to hear that. I have just forwarded your message to the DLGamer representative, hopefully he has an answer.
erbsademon
21 сентября, 2012 at 17:31
I’m in the USA, will I be able to purchase through DLgamer?
Johnny Karp
21 сентября, 2012 at 19:11
Yes, you can purchase the game from the US.
Erbsademon
12 октября, 2012 at 02:03
Bought it! Counting down the days!!!!!!!!!!
Johnny Karp
12 октября, 2012 at 05:09
Great! I hope you will enjoy the game.
DocHoliday
28 сентября, 2012 at 01:16
I want to support you guys as I love what you’ve set up — can you confirm if you’re part of the official pre-order program such that we’ll get to play FM13 2 weeks early?
I know I’m splitting hairs, but I’m not playing FM12 as I feel anything I do will be wasted :)
Johnny Karp
28 сентября, 2012 at 05:14
I am not 100% sure at the moment, I am waiting for an official reply from our distributor. But from what I can tell if you have pre-ordered from us you will get the benefits. I’ll let you know as soon as I have the confirmation.
Johnny Karp
28 сентября, 2012 at 06:55
I can confirm now: you will receive your download link and your activation code on the on the 10/19/2012 at 00:01.
Wiskan Henriff

Delivery available in Korea??
Johnny Karp

If you can access Steam in Korea then it is available, yes.
Niels Theis Bendtsen

Not going to take this wonderful offer since i win the competetion.but the rest offentlig you should of course do it.
Johnny Karp
28 сентября, 2012 at 10:45
Haha, I admire your confidence :)
Anthony
1 октября, 2012 at 19:46
I have pre-ordered the game, I receive an e-mail which inform I need to send any informartion like my phone number and my country. I want to know if the call to provide digit verification code is too long to receive?
Because I pay before October 2nd and I want to be sure to receive the beta on the 10/19/2012 at 00:01.
Thank you for you answer
Johnny Karp
1 октября, 2012 at 20:02
Hi Anthony. Unfortunately I can’t possibly know that so I suggest contacting DLGamer customer support here: http://footballmanagerstory.dlgamer.co.uk/contact_us.php
They will surely help you, I’ve been dealing with them for over a year now and they have always been extremely helpful.
Anthony
1 октября, 2012 at 20:16
Ok, I do that, thank you :)
gazr
1 октября, 2012 at 20:05
Do u still get the beta wen u used the download code for green man gaming you put a link up too? Thanks
Johnny Karp
1 октября, 2012 at 20:17
Yes, you do get beta access if you have purchased through that link.
gazr
1 октября, 2012 at 22:01
That’s gr8 thank u johnny
Nick
10 октября, 2012 at 10:44
I’m assuming there’s no problems downloading from France.
Johnny Karp
10 октября, 2012 at 10:50
Absolutely not, DLGamer is a French company :)
Ses
10 октября, 2012 at 18:15
What languages are included ?
Johnny Karp
10 октября, 2012 at 19:45
I don’t have a list but if you tell me which language you are interested in I will try to find out.
Ses
10 октября, 2012 at 19:51
Polish.
Since now every FM got polish language…
FM 2013 from steam has polish language included.
Johnny Karp
10 октября, 2012 at 19:53
If you buy the game from our website you will only get the activation code from us, the download will be made through Steam, you will get the same game that Steam sells. So it’s safe to say that Polish is included.
ryan daly
14 октября, 2012 at 14:19
is it too late too get beta version if i pre order it now ?
Johnny Karp
14 октября, 2012 at 14:28
Nope, not too late at all.
ryan daly
14 октября, 2012 at 15:30
cheers johnny
Chris
15 октября, 2012 at 16:49
Once you order the game when and how do we get the activation code
Johnny Karp
15 октября, 2012 at 19:11
You get the activation code via email around a couple of days before public beta release.
Chris
15 октября, 2012 at 21:00
Is that from steam
Johnny Karp
15 октября, 2012 at 22:45
Yes, you will get a Steam activation code, then install Steam, enter that activation code, download the game through Steam and then play :)
Nick
17 октября, 2012 at 09:41
HI guys,
Will the download technically be tomorrow night or Friday night? Gf’s coming to France to visit on Friday so she’s going to have a good weekend!
Johnny Karp
17 октября, 2012 at 11:16
There is no official announcement yet. I noticed that lots of websites say that it will be Friday, but that is just an assumption.
Conor Joseph Donovan
18 октября, 2012 at 13:06
About an hour ago, the Football Manager Facebook page said 12 hours to go
Johnny Karp
18 октября, 2012 at 13:16
That wasn’t the official Football Manager page mate, check your sources.
Conor Joseph Donovan
18 октября, 2012 at 16:59
Yeah, sorry. Just phrased my sentence poorly. I meant the one made by the FM Scout site: http://www.facebook.com/fm2O13?fref=ts
Nick
18 октября, 2012 at 08:35
Has Anyone had the activation code yet?
Nick
18 октября, 2012 at 08:42
Apologies — hadn’t updated my steam account! Keep up the good work for this season guys! You deserve all the praise you get! Loving the podcast too!
Johnny Karp
18 октября, 2012 at 10:40
Did you get your activation code Nick?
Nick
18 октября, 2012 at 11:34
No, not yet mate. Hopefully have it sorted but I’ve not had a reply from steam. Does it come from steam or from DLgamer?
Johnny Karp
18 октября, 2012 at 11:47
If you bought from DLGamer, I guess the email with the activation code will come from them. Then you’ll need to put that code into your Steam account.
Nick
18 октября, 2012 at 11:50
I got it from DLgamer..is that what you did and received the code?
Johnny Karp
18 октября, 2012 at 11:51
As far as I know the activation codes will be sent at some point today, but I’m waiting for a confirmation of that. I’ll let you know as soon as I have it.
Nick
18 октября, 2012 at 12:18
Ohhh ok, I’m really creating a storm in a teacup here aren’t I? I thought everyone got them a couple of days ago!
Johnny Karp
18 октября, 2012 at 12:27
Hahaha, no way! It seems all digital retailers will be sending them out today.
Johnny Karp
18 октября, 2012 at 15:30
The codes are being sent out as we speak, did you get yours?
Nick
18 октября, 2012 at 15:49
Not thus far mate, I’m guessing you have?
Johnny Karp
18 октября, 2012 at 15:54
Yes, most customers have already got the codes. I guess they are leaving France last :) Just kidding, I’m sure you will get it soon.
Nick
18 октября, 2012 at 16:02
HaHa c’est ca! Alors, It’s come now! They did leave us until last! I smell a day off work tomorrow!
Johnny Karp
18 октября, 2012 at 16:03
Great! Enjoy the game!
DocHoliday
18 октября, 2012 at 17:07
So I received my code — and the email to redeem it mentioned the beta would kick off today, the 18th? Has anyone seen or heard anything to confirm or deny the beta launch?
Darren Smith
18 октября, 2012 at 17:45
SI have not confirmed anything yet, so I would not assume anything…it would seem likely that the game is out tonight or early hours of tomorrow by the fact a lot of retailers are claiming so, but nothing is certain unless Sport Interactive announce it so hold your excitement for now mate…would hate to see you disappointed if it doesn’t happen.
DocHoliday
18 октября, 2012 at 18:06
I agree, either way it is still very soon :) Just curious if others had seen or heard anything different.
Johnny Karp
18 октября, 2012 at 18:10
Miles has just said that it will go live tonight. Didn’t mention an exact time though.
Darren Smith
18 октября, 2012 at 18:14
OK now I’m getting excited!! ;)
Johnny Karp
18 октября, 2012 at 18:14
It’s live now!
Darren Smith
18 октября, 2012 at 18:30
Steam is still telling me the game is not released for download, must be taking time to peculate around the World I guess:(
Johnny Karp
18 октября, 2012 at 18:31
Yes, it should be just a matter of minutes though.
Darren Smith
18 октября, 2012 at 18:41
33% downloaded…commmmon! :)
Johnny Karp
18 октября, 2012 at 18:43
Don’t mess with the PC, that won’t make it go faster :P
Darren Smith
18 октября, 2012 at 18:45
But its like watching paint dry…are you sure a quick shake won’t make the whole process go faster ;)
josh
18 октября, 2012 at 18:52
if i was to pre-order on the 19th (tommorow) would i still be able to get early access
Johnny Karp
18 октября, 2012 at 18:55
Yes, you will get early access.
jonaskim95
2 ноября, 2012 at 13:39
If i buy it through here now will I still get the discount? since it’s not pre-order anymore
Johnny Karp
2 ноября, 2012 at 14:47
Yes, the discount code is still valid.
jonaskim95
2 ноября, 2012 at 15:46
And if I buy it online I’ll only be able to install it in one computer right?
Johnny Karp
2 ноября, 2012 at 15:48
You will be able to install it on multiple computers, but you will not be able to play on more computers at the same time, just one.
jonaskim95
2 ноября, 2012 at 15:52
Ok, thanks!
