Pros

Flexibility on how much commitment you need.
More comprehensive scouting and reports.
Deep match-day experience.
More management options.
Classic mode is like an extra game, perfect for faster play.
New interface is much better.
New online options make things much simpler to set up.
Classics and Challenge mode are excellent additions.
The online mode is better than ever.
Career mode has also had some useful, if less obvious tweaks.
Now integrated with Steam.

Cons

Lots and lots of meetings.
Still has a learning curve.
Challenges lack punch.
Very occasional glitches in the 3D match engine.
Some bugs cropping up with transfers.
It doesn't feel like there are enough challenges.

Gamers and pundits alike have been wetting themselves with excitement over the latest installation of football's most popular management simulation, and while we're typically keen to distance ourselves from the pack mentality, it's difficult...

If nothing else, you should give Football Manager 2013 a try to experience a style of game quite unlike any other you’ll have come across.

So the bottom line is that while the game looks quite similar to Football Manager 12, there are many under-the-hood improvements that makes being a virtual football manager an even more immersive, and - here’s another word I’ve avoided using to death - addictive experience. A fantastic game all around.

This is unfortunate but not enough to stop FM13 being every bit the Football Manager you need it to be, and with multiplayer and challenge modes included it offers great value for anybody with the itch to try managing a Football Team.

As wonderfully absorbing as ever, and the Classic mode proves that sometimes going back to basics works best.

Without the amount of new modes and improvements on offer, Football Manager 13 is a pretty astonishing package. It will, though, be interesting to see what form next year's release will take.

Offering a few brand new features to the home version we genuinely never expected to see, Football Manager 2013 is the best version of the game yet. And this time around we can genuinely recommend it to newcomers and time-poor.

I cannot, in good faith, recommend Football Manager 2013 to all people who share a love of both video games and the sport of football; for them the most natural fit is to play the EA Sports made FIFA 13 simulation title.

Football Manager 2013 is the most complete experience yet and, with Football Manager Classic and Challenge modes tacked on for free, it’s also best value too.

Realism has always been paramount in the Football Manager series, and while the inclusion of a user-friendly 'Classic Mode' may not be to everybody's tastes, the full-fat game has more depth than ever.
