Football Manager is the best-selling, most realistic football management series ever made. Football Manager 2013 celebrates 20 years of games from the people at Sports Interactive by introducing an array of new features. This yearâs version allows you to take control of any club in more than 50 nations across the world and includes all of Europeâs biggest leagues as well as database of over 500,000 real-world players and staff. As well as some landmark new features in the Career Mode, there are now new ways to enjoy your Football Manager experience. NEW TO CAREER MODE⦠Match Engine The 3D match engine has seen huge improvements this year. Everything on the pitch looks more realistic; from the stadiums, the playersâ movement, intelligence, and the way the ball moves through the air. Weâve also introduced hundreds of new animations to make the game feel more realistic and weâve made the whole experience more televisual by introducing new camera angles and showing the kick-off and final whistle. Manager Roles Another notable difference is the significant restructure of the managerâs staff and a revamp of their roles. The most obvious is that weâve introduced the position of Director of Football into the game for the first time, which will allow managers to pass on some of their workload, such as contract negotiations, if they choose to. In addition to this, weâve also increased the number of specialist coaching roles within the game and given the manager greater flexibility to choose which coaches offer advice and when. The manager can also choose to complain about boardroom interference â although that particular option should probably be used sparingly. And much more⦠A brand new training system, improved international management, tones in press conferences & a new user interface. NEW WAYS TO PLAY⦠Classic and Challenge Modes Football Manager Classic is a less time-consuming way to enjoy Football Manager. The essence of the game is exactly the same â the manager still takes charge of a squad of players and competes at whatever level he or she chooses â but they will now find that a number of their responsibilities have either been taken over by their support staff or have disappeared completely. For example, while the player still takes charge of training in FMC, this is carried out at a 'full team' level only â there's no individual player training. And when it gets to matches themselves, there are no team talks or opposition reports... you just go straight to a game using the same 3D match engine as Career Mode. The games are played out in a quicker 'highlights only' fashion, but you can even speed this up by going straight to âInstant Resultâ. Players who opt for Football Manager Classic will also find that they have a couple of further options in terms of how they play the game; they can either play a full open-ended âCareerâ or they can choose to play in the new âChallengeâ mode. In Challenge mode theyâll find themselves in a particular situation which will test their management skills over a shorter game time â usually half a season. Can you win a trophy with a team consisting almost entirely of kids? Or could you guide your club to safety despite being bottom of the table at Xmas? We first introduced Challenge Mode in Football Manager Handheld 2012 and it proved to be so popular that weâve decided to include it in FMC too. The game will come with four free-to-play challenges, each of which feeds in to a global leaderboard. Network Play The brand new Network Play is fully integrated with Steamâs network functionality which means that players should be able to set up and enjoy games against their friends far more easily than before. The Network Mode also allows people to set-up special one-off leagues and cups and to import their team from their career mode, so you can now end any debate about whose FM team is better. The deeper integration with Steam will also allow us to manage worldwide leaderboards, so, for the first time youâll really know how good a manager you are. Plus over 900 other new features!
If you want to be boring though, you could sign some defenders I have a question though: Will it actually be possible in the game to sign players like Gaston Ramirez this time?
Got new Borderlands in 15 days , got new FIFA in 22 days, now, got Football manager 2013 demo in 30 days? NOT COUNTING THO!!!! Buzzing Much!
Most of the new features mentioned seem like things I probably won't use, and it doesn't sound like the press conferences have been changed enough for me to actually attend them instead of just sending my assistant.
I wish I could afford to be spending all my money on games, but for the foreseeable future, I'll just be buying the new FM and whatever sequels are planned for Fallout and Skyrim. The essentials.

Struggling to get excited for this as FIFA 2013 comes out in three weeks and FM13 looks similar to FM12...
Doesn't FIFA 13 look similar to FIFA 12? Over 900 new features to FM13, new match engine, new animations etc etc. What were you expecting a football management game to look like?
