'Football Manager 2013' gameplay features video blogs - watch

Football Manager 2013 has been given a series of new trailers by Sports Interactive.

Hosted by Sports Interactive's Miles Jacobson, the video blogs detail some of the game's new features.

The first three videos focus on improvements to the in-game engine, new match day features and feedback, as well as changes made to the network game.







The remaining three videos explore the changes made to the leaderboard mechanic, demonstrate the match day engine in action, and introduce the newly expanded director of football backroom position.







Earlier this month it was announced that Football Manager 2013 will include more than 900 new or improved features.

It will launch with two new modes, 'Football Manager Classic' and 'Challenge'.

'Football Manager Classic' is a simplified take on the core game, removing various advanced features and speeding up matches. It allows players to complete a season in less than ten hours.

Meanwhile, 'Challenge' mode - first seen in Football Manager Handheld 2012 for mobile devices - gives the player a short-term objective - for example, to avoid relegation with a team severely hampered by injuries or to maintain a side's unbeaten run until the end of the season.

Other enhancements include an improved 3D match engine, deeper media interactions, the addition of directors of football and a revamped loan system.
