Gameplay
Summarize
Perspective
Football Manager 2013 features similar gameplay to that of the Football Manager series. Gameplay consists of taking charge of a professional football team (the game also includes semi-professional, amateur, and international teams) as the manager. Players can sign football players to contracts, manage finances for the club, and give team talks to players. The Football Manager series is a simulation of real world management, with the player being judged on various factors by the club's AI owners and board.[5]
Football Manager 2013 includes a quicker mode of play called "Football Manager Classic". This new mode allow gamers to complete a season in less time than the normal game mode. It retains the 3D match engine and player/staff database but simplifies the way players manage their club and allows them to focus on selected key areas to build success. A player can complete a season in approximately seven hours of gameplay. Football Manager 2013 also includes a number of pre-set challenges, offering players scenarios designed to test their management skills over a set period of time, usually half a season. The challenges replicate a variety of real world circumstances. On 19 December 2012, two new challenges were added to the in-game store.[6]
