No the beta basically has all the features. Obviously they are both limited to 6 months, no multiplayer, quickstarts only etc.

The beta is already around 3 weeks old and they have fixed a lot of stuff already. The beta isn't optimised and the gold demo/full game should be noticably faster.

Remember the quickstart is large database, full detail and has 2 extra English divisions, compared to old demos which were small database, and only went down to the conference.

Exactly. This is the beta version. Because of this Sports Interactive want to restrict the distribution of it somewhat because it's not an accurate representation of the final game. Technically no one apart from SI are meant to distribute it (unless they have permission), which emphasises how much SI are worried how some people may perceive this as being a final version.

And as was mentioned it is full detail so some machines may struggle with that. I'll probably end up playing with full detail anyway because I want as many players in the game as possible. But for that you'll have to sacrifise some speed. Considering how big the database is I think it's worth it.

On my PC the game runs a lot faster. The pre-season took me just 3 hours 15 minutes for the 7 English leagues, where it takes me between 4 (3 leagues, 2 Holland + 1 England) and 5½ (5 leagues, England) on 03/04. I didn't change my manner of playing.

And I'm running it on the slowest processing mode too :o

No no no, full detail just means divisions that a human manager is not in are processed in less detail, you can't watch 2D highlights etc.

Any competitions you manage in, and the bigger ones like european and big internationals are full detail always though.

Database size and selected leagues effect how many players load into the game.

Slow processing just means while games are being played you can click carry on doing other things while it processes so you probably make up time that way.

I played the demo yesterday and i have to say it's pretty fast considering i was running it at the same time i was browsing at Opera. The match lagged a lil bit but it's still ok. The full game is going to be faster.
