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.
Here they are:
FM 2013 GUI part one
In case you missed the previous posts, here are the new features in Football Manager 2013 that were announced so far:
FM 2013 Finances
- specific tax regimes for each country
- more realistic financial model
- projection tab in the finances screen, allowing you to see predicted figures for turnover, expenditure, profits, balance, player wages etc
FM 2013 Interaction
- club and international managers can interact and comment on each others decisions
- new interactions with players from other clubs
- new interactions with staff
- new interactions with players – defend a signing, criticise a player, ask to withdraw from international football
- more advice from staff, including advice on what to tell the press before or after a match
- ask a staff member to stay when another club offers him a contract
FM 2013 International Management
- more in depth media and club interaction, leading to a lot more pressure on the international manager, similar to real life
- more sophisticated player interaction
- team meetings during tournaments and not only
FM 2013 Media Interaction
- tone system is now implemented in press conferences and not only in team talks
- improved media interaction in international management (example: journalists will question your squad selection)
FM 2013 Transfer Deadline Day
- special coverage of a very special day in football management
FM 2013 Transfers, Loans and Scouting
- manager style and philosophy are now important when applying for a job as chairmen tend to like a particular style
- AI transfers are now more realistic because they take the club philosophy and playing style into account
- new contract clauses for promotion and relegation
- new requirements when sending players on loan, such as the position they should play in and the squad status
- players can now request a loan deal to be terminated if they feel they are not getting enough first team football
- scouts now rate player for each role, in addition to the general positions on the pitch
- revamped scout report screen, much easier to see the essential information
FM 2013 Player & Staff Comparison
- better graphical illustration of the differences in attributes
- highlight key attributes for a specific role
- compare position ability of two players
- compare staff: coaches, physios, scouts etc
FM 2o13 Competition Updates
- revamped youth academy and reserves competitions in England
- co-ownership deals updated giving more liberty to negotiate such transfers
- MLS updated, Montreal Impact are included in the new game
- all the playable leagues were updated, including a the new youth rules in the… Romanian league! (plus several others)
FM 2013 Training
- completely new module, much easier to manage as general and match training are in the same screen
- improved individual training module
- you can send your coaches to study and get training badges, improving their skills
- training camps – you can send your team to training camps during the summer or, depending on the league, during the winter break as well
FM 2013 New Staff Roles
- 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.
FM 2013 Director of Football
- this new staff member will handle all kinds of transfer business for you, including selling unwanted players or loaning out youngsters
FM 2013 Leaderboards
- 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.
FM 2013 Network Game Mode
- 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.
FM 2013 Match Engine
- New physics engine, which allows more realistic ball trajectories. The ball is now affected by pitch conditions and weather.
- Player bodies are more realistic.
- AI (Artificial Intelligence) more realistic.
- New cameras and the possibility to zoom in and out.
- Increased stadium details.
FM 2013 Match Day Experience
- live feed of suggestions and updates during the match in a single, customizable, panel, instead of multiple panels like in FM 2012
- quicker in-game substitutions
- animated action bar and match info bar during the match
- easier access to camera selection and match speed settings

The find similar players button will be great for teams that cannot afford the player they want. They can get a cheaper one who may be as good as the first player.

I agree, this little button will probably be one of the most frequently used :)

Will they fix the little glitch where if you were a club and country manager then the report box on the front page of every player would disappear, apart from your countrymen who would have the national report there? I can see this is because there are two reports available for some players but I tend not to listen to my national coaches anyway, but trust my club scouts to the grave.

I’m not aware of that glitch to be honest and I did manage a club and a nation at some point. Coach reports were always available for me.
Nick Sundin

Yeah they were available but the report on the main screen of the player in the bottom left either was unavailable from the drop-down box or replaced by the national team’s report of him if he was under your national team. Just made navigation a bit slower, but still annoyed me.

I had the same problem, sometimes I wanted to get a coach report and I ended up at the national team`s report… I hope they make two diferent buttons for that.

Seems like it’s a good idea having the menu system make the tab pages available just by hovering over the main category. I’ve seen similar on some websites, sometimes done well, and occasionally not so good. Hopefully it’s in the first category of good, otherwise it could be a pain.
