FM 2013 New Features Announced. The Game Will Be Out Before Christmas

Hey guys, Football Manager 2013 has just been announced today! Miles Jacobson made the announcement during a press conference, starting with his trademark line: «it’s the best game we’ve ever made!»

A vast number of the existing features will be improved, especially network gaming, scouting and training.

As for some of the new features, there will be two new game modes added to the current normal and network modes: a quick mode in which you will manage your team without some actions that will be taken over by the support staff and a brand new challenge mode.

Miles also revealed that massive improvements were made to the 3D match engine, with the players, stadium and movements looking more realistic in FM 2013.

Another important new feature is that you will have a new staff member: a Director of Football. I know many of you wanted this one ;)

Here’s Miles telling you all about it:

The system requirements were also made public on the SEGA website, here they are:

    I can’t think of any other game that boasts ‘realistic tax regimes’ as an improvement and it still makes me more excited for the game.

    Brilliant! Thanks Johnny for that! Like the sound of that Challenge mode, it’ll be brilliant to play when normal fm gets repetitive.

    Can’t wait for this, I wish it was out now but I guess the best things come to those who wait!! I really hope the NEW scouting and loan system is applicable to the lower leagues as I always take charge of a BSN team as scouting and loaning players is quite difficult to do in this division.

    Bring on Christmas!! (or just before)!! :)

    Im so psyched for the game, I can’t wait. I am going to stick with the full career and do some challenges as well when I want a break from my save,

    Anyone know how to verify a computer meets the video memory requirements?

      Tell me what kind of computer you have (PC or Mac) and which is the operating system that you are using and I will try to walk you through that.

        iMac 21.5 inch, OS X 10.6. Bought it in June 2010 and I think it has the ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics processor but I’m not sure.

        Thanks for your help.

          I don’t own a Mac but a friend tells me that you should do this to find the amount of video memory:
          Apple Menu (upper left hand corner) > About this Mac > More Info… > Graphics / Displays > click on the video card and look for VRAM (total).

          If you have a 4670 it’ll be fine, it is much superior to the X1600 :)

            VRAM = 256. Thanks for the info! Can’t wait until the release date!!

    Excellent!!! Looks like SI have truly worked hard at this one, even more so than usual. All the new features and additions look interesting, can’t wait to dig my teeth into FM13…will have to wait around 5 days before actually playing the game once its released though as I’ll have my head buried in scouting for the scouting network :)

      Miles sounded quite impressed when it came to the match engine, I expect quite a few nice surprises in that area.

    It’ll be interesting to find out what they’ve changed in the match engine, but hopefully it will have covered all the little annoyances I’ve seen with it. For me this is the most interesting thing, as it’s a major part of how long you feel you can keep playing.

    The 3D engine being more realistic is also a good thing, because the number of times you see a description of something which doesn’t really match what has happened. Most noticeable is the number of times a player has apparently backed into someone, but in the 3D view they are behind them. ;)

      Getting those right must be pretty tough but I know that all the guys that are working on the game are also playing the game, so they surely know which things need improving. The problem is whether they were able to do it or not.

    Yes! Thanks for letting us know Johnny!
