With just a few more days left until the public beta release, it’s time to look at a few small features in FM 2013, some little but nice things that make the game better. This post will be updated with new videos in this category as soon as they are released.

In today’s video Miles Jacobson unveiled some nice little additions to the game:

end of season report from the chief scout
end of season report from the board
you can type in specific figures when negotiating a contract
you can arrange multiple friendlies at once
new keyboard shortcuts

Here’s the video:

The second episode of the small new features in FM 2013 brings a few quick changes:

when negotiating a contract, each clause can now be locked
more realistic player values
revamped player stats screen

Here are all the details:

The last FM 2013 video blog unveils a few more small things that make the game better:

youth teams can now have their own stadiums and training facilities
more situation-specific options in team talks
regen names depend on regions instead of countries
you can post screen shots to Facebook directly from the game

Enjoy the last episode:

As you know the FM 2013 release date is November 2nd and if you pre-order the game trough our store you will receive access to a beta version two weeks before that release date (that would be sometime before the end of this week). Click and pre-order Football Manager 2013 for just 27 pounds! There will also be a free demo that will be available to download roughly one week before release date.

«you can type in specific figures when negotiating a contract»
We can finaly use the keyboard to do what it was designed for: typing!

Being able to type figures into the contract, is long overdue.

Being able to arrange a number of friendlies at the same time, is definitely good. Didn’t even realise you could have done it before by arranging a tour. :D

I can’t help but get the feeling SI have made lots of little improvements across the board (ontop of the huge ones of course.) Friday will be just like X-Mas, I hope Santa’s been when I wake up. ;)

Has anything been released about how to download the Beta? The site I ordered from still says it isn’t released until the 2nd.

  The beta should be released by the end of this week but there is no certain date yet. That’s why that website has the release date on Nov 2nd, because that’s the only officially announced date so far.

    Was it not announced to be Friday? I would have thought it would be considering the video blogs end tomorrow.

        Green Man Gaming had announced Friday but said in later updates approx two weeks, which is why I was confused. Sorry to keep annoying you about this Johnny but would you think it’ll be a midnight release?

I’m a little bummed by all this Friday talk, I had somehow calculated it might be the 18th.

  That is because some websites are acting in a rather unprofessional manner to be honest. Why tell people it’s Friday when you are not sure about that and there is no official announcement saying so? I really can’t understand that.

  Here’s what Miles Jacobson said on Twitter a few minutes ago: «I haven’t said anything about beta timing apart from that it’ll be approx 2 weeks before release».

I think there should be like an official list of all clubs that will be on the game before the release, at least the playable clubs…

Youth team facilities look good, and posting a screenshot directly to facebook would make things easier (don’t have to use photobucket and manually upload each time!)
