Hello friends, time for another video update about the new features in FM 2013! Today Miles Jacobson tells you all about the massively improved network game mode, the mode in which you can play online against your friends. I have to say that this is a major improvement and this will allow many more of us to embark on multi-player games and competitions.
Before watching the video, here’s a quick recap of the new features in Football Manager 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.
Now here’s the video:
These new features that Miles revealed should be added to the ones revealed in the previous episodes:
- 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.
- 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
Quite impressive so far!
