FM 2013 Video: Football Manager 2013 User Interface (GUI)
We’re getting closer and closer to the Football Manager 2013 release date (November 2nd), so it’s time to have a look at the user interface in FM 2013. There are two videos showing what’s new in that area of the game and since we’re talking about looks I think it would be best to go straight to the videos. All I’m going to say is that the interface looks better than FM 2012 and it also offers better usability.

Head of youth development – the man who will make sure that you recruit the best youngsters in your region but also manage your youth team
Chief scout – the man who will filter the various scout reports, presenting you only the most viable options for transfers. This staff member can also handle assigning your scouts to specific tasks.
separate leaderboards for each game mode (full career, FM Classic, challenges).
separate leaderboards for nations/divisions.
sophisticated scoring system that takes into account trophies, goals scored, but also the initial reputation of the club that you achieved those results with.
fully integrated with Steam, you will be able to compare your score to those of your Steam friends.
manager wages count towards the points you earn, so now there’s a point in negotiating a higher salary with your club.
much easier to set up, network games will run through the powerful Steam servers.
you have the possibility to export your team from single player mode into a network game. This way you can play against one of your friends regardless of which season your team is playing in the single player mode. For instance, I could play with Viitorul Constanta against Darren’s Scarborough or Kevin’s Toronto FC!
agree on match view settings before the actual game, which avoids having the two players having different settings.
