What do you think of the beta?

Wow, I am really impressed with the beta. It has a lot of cool features. Here are a couple of my favorites after only 20 minutes playing:
1. The fact that you can control international teams, both juniors and normal teams.
2. The training camp feature is really awesome, with scrimmages and the fact that you can set up the teams.
3. I like how they have brought back the feature from the original EHM, which was more like a newspaper article after the game. Impressive.

I'm sure I'll find a lot more that I really like.

I really like this alot, though this is coming from someone who also liked last years version, unlike most people. Everything good from last years game is better, + this has many, MANY more international events, and the training camps own.

Is the interface more navigatable?

Very much so. People will still have trouble with the trading screens, because its the same as last year (Team roster --> "Approach to trade"), but the rest is all pretty easy, and only gets easier the more you play.

Another cool feature is the Team Reports you can get from the roster screens. your scouts make a depth chart for the that team, and list their "bests" in every category, and list their best prospects.

You are also able to set Team Needs, and set your jersey numbers when ever you please.

I also like the fact that they have players from the Canadian Interuniversity League so I can offer my cousins boyfriend a contract.

I love it.

Interface stuff is beautiful. Just like Football Manager 2005 which I just got so I'm already well adjusted.

Training camps = win.. The 'Game Stats' page = win.. Everything is so much better and so un-confusing.

I can't wait for the release! :).

I never even tried last year version and I might not test this one either. It's not that I wouldn't be interested but I don't want to start something new when I'm far from finished with the original freeware version.

Anyway, there's something I'd like to know. Is there stats etc. exporting option ? How does it work and what stuff you can export, and in what format(s) ?

If you meant the first it, then the game.
If you mean the second one, then it exports stats, rosters, and schedules to a text file.
