Football Manager 2013 - Pre-order PC

Celebrating its 20th year, the best-selling, most realistic football management series ever made returns with Football Manager 2013. This year’s version is chock full of new features to let you enjoy managing your team your way, and allows you to take control of any club in more than 50 nations across the world and includes all of Europe’s biggest leagues as well as database of over 500,000 real-world players and staff. NEW TO CAREER MODE… Match Engine Improvements to the 3D match engine, including new animations, camera angles and key match moments means that everything on the pitch looks more realistic, from the stadiums, the players, intelligence, and the way the ball moves through the air. Manager Roles The manager's staff has been revamped and their roles refined. More specialist coaching roles have been added, giving you greater flexibility to choose which coaches offer advice and when. A Director of Football is introduced for the first time, allowing managers to pass on some of their workload, such as contract negotiations, if they choose to. You can even choose to complain about boardroom interference – although that particular option should probably be used sparingly. NEW WAYS TO PLAY… Classic and Challenge Modes Football Manager Classic is a faster way to enjoy Football Manager. The essence of the game is exactly the same – take charge of a squad of players and compete at whatever level you choose – but a number of managerial responsibilities have either been taken over by support staff or removed to streamline and simplify the game. Training is carried out only a full-team level, there are no team talks or opposition reports on match day and games are played out in a quicker 'highlights only' fashion, but even this can be sped up by going straight to ‘Instant Result’. Football Manager Classic also offers the option to play a full open-ended ‘Career’ or the new ‘Challenge’ mode, first introduced in Football Manager Handheld 2012 where it proved to be very popular.
