Football Manager 2013 News & Discussion Thread

[rsnomar05]

With the announcement of FM 2013 today, I figured it was a good time to start a dedicated thread to discuss all of the news/info as it gets released.


There's a great writeup of the new features here:

http://www.sigames.com/news/14137/Football+Manager+2013+offers+classic+gameplay+and+a+whole+new+challenge

I love that you can take a team from an individual save and run it against other players in an online tournament. We can have an insane OS Club World Cup before FM 14 comes out to determine who, among OS posters, has put together the best team (HINT: It's going to be me).

Excited! I put a lot of hours into FM 2012, that was my first time into the series. I did Feyenoord as a career for about 4 seasons and did the Netherlands national team.

finally! Been playing since FM10 and probably got a good ~1100 hours total in. But no rush for FM13, I'm still deciding what club to start (before geniescout comes out). I usually play clubs w/ new coaches and I got it narrowed down to:

Villarreal
Besiktas
Herenveen
PSV
Tottenham
Barca (of course! Finally)
QPR

Why? If you don't mind me asking, that just seems pointless.

I guess for realism sake, instead going for a team who's coach has been there forever. I think i may try Villarreal myself.

Found this over at the Football Manager forums, as if we needed any more incentives to pre-order the game

Hi All,

Just started with Football Manager with its current version after years of PES/FIFA gaming, and it was nice to let yesterday's release date of both of those games go by without even a hint of temptation.

FM has completely ruined console soccer gaming for me. I'm not a big online guy, and I can't even make it more than a week or two into a manager mode without being extremely bored and disappointed.

I agree. If it wasn't for BAL in PES I probably wouldn't have bought it. Why use Manager light, when you can get Manager Extreme!

Re: Football Manager 2013 News &amp; Discussion Thread

If you pre-order FM from select retailers you get the full game (albeit a slightly beta version) 2 full weeks before the release date!

this is also when i'm back from holiday. I am happy right now

Same here. Last year it was difficult playing but I have to hit the joysticks every now and then on the pitch. This year I'll be playing this and BAL primarily in PES.

Also, anyone know which retailers?

Re: Football Manager 2013 News &amp; Discussion Thread

Sounds like the beta is out on steam for those that pre-ordered it
