The AI of the players when watchingI bought this game wondering how they could improve an already stellar experience, but they managed it. The AI of the players when watching the 3D match engine for me is the best improvment. It really feels like a proper game of football.
   Adding the FM Classic mode, whilst I prefer the standard game, is a nice addition to the series. Not everyone has the time or patience to play the full game, so a scaled down version will suit a lot of people. I would like to add aswell that the "micro transactions" only apply to this mode. People moaning about this need to realise that the main game is NOT affected by this addition. I personally don't see this an an issue, it's not hard to find a downloadable data editor which many people use anyway so if people want to cheat, then they will. Micro transactions are the future of gaming whether we like them or not, so it doesn't surprise or bother me that they're included. The simple thing to do if you don't like the idea of paying them is...Not to pay them. Simple.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Football Manager 2011+12 was really easy.. 2013 is more challenging, and really improved, 10/10,
   My most played game on steam.
   
   The new training system is great and easy to work with.
   The gameplay is wonderful.
   The sound.. meh, they could make the fans more realistic (example: Lords of Football) but it's okay..
   The graphics are really improved from FM12.
   
   Fantastic game, 10 out of 10.… Expand

   Well were to start, always been a big fan of FM but this years there are problems.

   Im just not enjoying as much as I thought I would of, I bought the game for not only single player but to play online with friends, Online mode is really buggy and slow when you play matches but its fine when your host. Now I done research on this and its happening to a lot of people where you play a game online and it takes around 10mins to complete a match and that's on full speed commentary only, So for me that's 1 thing that's messed it up for me because I was really looking forward to starting a league but really impossible due to the length of the games, it needs to be sorted out… Expand

I was really anxious to see the improvements SI had promised because FM 2012 needed some.
   When I saw it at Steam with a not so cheap price, still wanted to buy it because it's my favourite game.
   And as a fan, I'm deeply disappointed to see:
   
   - The match engine became even worse;
   - The "improvements" in the graphics field, only caused some features to disappear and others to be hidden in places you take hours to find;
   - The AI teams continue to be favourites for any transfer, regardless if you play with Barcelona or a Brazilian Fourth Division team. Doesn't matter the salary or budgets paid, in 90% of the transfers the AI challenges you, they'll win.
   - During the matches, the same problems with FM 2012 continue to make us want to give up of the series. Your players almost NEVER get a shoot on target, even with players having full attributes. While the AI teams with players having awful attributes, make one goal with every shoot form distance, regardless who is your keeper.
   
   Resuming: I won't pay that much to play the same FM 2012 with a new decoration. If you're a fan and still didn't play it, don't buy the game,try the demo and see by yourself if you want to pay to play that thing.
   Sorry for my English, I did my better.… Expand
