SI Games And Sega have released the debut screenshots for Football Manager 2013. there are 54 screenshots here that cover many common features in the game, like news, calendar and the squad. there are also screenshots for the new features in the game like Challenge Mode.
SI Games and Sega have revealed the next game in the Football Manager series. Football Manager 2013 is set to come to PC and Mac this year, before Christmas. Football Manager 2013 brings improvements to the series over previous games but it also brings some radical changes and additions.
One of these new additions is Classic Mode. this new simple mode simplifies the game and makes it less time consuming, to the point where a season can be played in 8/10 hours. another new mode is Challenge Mode. this mode puts you in scenarios to be accomplished over a time period. changes will be added to the game throughout the year, depending on demand from players.
Other Improvements and features include:
- Improved 3D match
engine Perhaps the most visible enhancements to FM13 will be those
that have been made to the 3D match engine. In this year’s release,
everything on and around the pitch will look more realistic; from the
stadiums and crowds through the players’ movements and the way the
ball moves through the air. A variety of new and improved animations
give matches a more realistic feel, while a revamp of the camera
system makes the matchday experience more ‘televisual’. These
visual enhancements are underpinned by a dramatic improvement in the
match engine’s artificial intelligence system.
- New staff
roles FM13 sees a significant restructure of the manager’s
backroom staff and a revamp of their roles. This includes the
introduction of a Director of Football who will (if required) take on
some of the manager’s workload, such as contract negotiations or
the disposal of unwanted players. In addition, the number of
specialist coaches has increased and the manager has greater
flexibility to choose which coaches to seek advice from and when to
do this, as well as more specialised coaches and the ability to
improve coach’s skills as they qualify for their coaching
badges.
- Improved media interaction The interaction
between the manager and the media has been revamped. One significant
aspect of this is that managers can now adopt different tones when
dealing with the press – choosing between a number of moods ranging
from ‘calm’ to ‘aggressive’.
- Network game FM13
sees a huge revamp of the multi-player game, which now makes full use
of the Steam system’s network functionality, allowing players to
set up and enjoy games against other managers far more easily than
before. The improved network game also includes a number of bespoke,
one-off league and cup options alongside the standard career version,
including one mode which allows the player to take the team that he
or she has built and developed in their single-player game and test
it in the multi-player environment.
- Worldwide
leaderboards FM13’s deeper integration with Steam also sees the
introduction of worldwide leaderboards which means, for the first
time, that players can see exactly where they stand compared to their
fellow managers across the globe. In addition to the full global
ranking ladder, there will also be a number of individual
leaderboards covering the game’s different modes and every playable
nation and division. The leaderboards use a sophisticated scoring
system that takes into account a variety of factors including the
level a manager chooses to compete at, his or her club’s financial
performance and even their in-game wages – making the new manager
contract negotiation feature a really important addition to the
game.
- User interface FM13 boasts a new interface and skin
for ‘career’ mode, and a fresh new look for ‘classic’ mode,
as well as lots of work on navigation, an animated interface and a
new search system means that whichever mode you go for, FM13 will be
the easiest to use and best-looking game in the series to date.
-
Enhanced training In FM13 managers will have the ability to go
deeper into their team’s training and choose a schedule that suits
their needs. Training is now managed through a simplified overview
panel which combines general coaching with more detailed preparation.
Managers can now choose where they want to focus their team’s
training, whether that is on more general routines or in preparing
for specific matches.
- Realistic tax regimes One of the
major factors which influences real world footballers when they come
to choose which club to sign for is the different level of tax which
is payable from one country to another. This is now reflected in
FM13, which includes up-to-date tax regimes for each of its featured
countries – something which the in-game footballers will take into
account when deciding which club to join.

SI Games have detailed more of the new features and improvements that can be found in their upcoming Football Manager 2011. the screenshots they have released focus on the new Set Piece Creator and Match Analysis Improvements, showing in-game examples of them. the full list of new features are:
Set Piece Creator – Much like Football Manager 2010’s Tactics Creator, we’ve now added a Set Piece Creator to the game which allows you to set up your set piece routines in a much more intuitive and user-friendly manner.
Press Conference revamp – Not just a new user interface, and not just 150+ new press conference questions, but also all of the previous 500+ press conference questions have been fully reviewed, with possible answers revised where necessary, leading to press conferences being more intuitive and in situ.
Match analysis improvements – Lots of new options available on the match analysis chalkboard, with offsides, free kicks, corners, throw ins, clear cut chances, half chances all now available to analyse via the system, as well as the option to show all of the players match actions at the same time, rather than having to look at them all separately.
Squad registration / squad number split – We’ve separated out the squad registration and squad numbering screens, so you can now give squad numbers to players who don’t need to be registered.
Newgen revamp – Newly generated players, or newgens as we call them, are now created using a new system that looks at player templates for different styles of player, as well as taking national traits into account, to ensure that the types of player in the game are constant throughout the life of your own saved game.
B-Team & Amateur revamp – Due to lots of feedback from our community, particularly from Spanish and Danish users, regarding the way that B teams and amateur work in the game compared to real life, we’ve had a revamp on the way they work to make them more accurate than ever before, including the chance to set up your own clubs B team at the start of the season in appropriate leagues.
