Hello friends, it’s finally time for the announcement I’ve promised. We’ve got plans for this website once Football Manager 2013 comes out and now is the time to share those plans with you.
I’ll try to be very brief:
1. Stories
This website has started with me writing a Football Manager 2009 story. Then I invited more people to share their stories here, and the website grew as a result. But now we also have a very good forum, with fantastic people writing great stories. My belief is that having some stories published on the main site and others only on the forum is not fair, because it might lead to the perception that the forum writers are not as good as the main site writers. That is definitely not true, so from now on the place for stories will be the forum. I will probably write a story on the forum myself.
2. Downloads
There will be lots more of those, some produced by us and others shared from other websites. The bottom line is that you will be able to find the very best downloads for Football Manager 2013 right here, including tactics, graphics, utilities and everything else you might need (except cheating tools, I’ll always be against that).
3. Guides
These will be my top priority, helping you in various areas of the game. The ultimate goal is to write a Football Manager 2013 Handbook, even better than the pretty successful one I’ve written with Darren for FM 2011.
4. Player profiles
That will be Darren’s task on the Scouting Network, he will surely do a brilliant job once again with the help of his scouting team.
5. Better forum
We’ve already installed a new software for the forum, making it a lot easier to use and more enjoyable overall. But we won’t stop there, Jake and his team of moderators will do their best to keep that place friendly and full of life.
6. FMS Newsletter
I’ve already switched to a paid solution to manage our newsletter and that is because I want it to give you more than the daily round-up of new posts. Most exclusive downloads will be available only on the newsletter and I will also send quick FM 2013 tips and more exclusive content only through the newsletter. So get your inbox ready and sign up today!
7. Fan site reviews
I’ve helped lots of people with their Football Manager related websites and now I decided to make a habit out of that. Basically you will send me a request to review your website, I’ll have a look at it and then write a review promoting your efforts but also giving suggestions on what to do in order to make that website better.
8. Tactical reviews
This is something I’ve been wanting to do for quite some time. I’m offering to test your FM 2013 tactics, review them and tweak them into better tactics if possible.
9. Real football
We’ve already started to cover real-life football with Ana writing the Spanish League round-ups and yours truly taking care of the Premier League stuff (sorry, I was unable to make my post this week…). If any of you feels prepared, we could extend that in order to cover the Italian Serie A and the French Ligue 1, I’d be glad to welcome two more capable members to our team.
That’s what’s planned but feel free to offer suggestions and ideas. Until then, if what we have in store seems good enough, please support us by liking our Facebook page, by following us on Twitter and by sharing our content through the various social media channels. Thanks ;)
