'Football Manager 2013' new features revealed in gameplay video blogs

Football Manager 2013 has received a new collection of video blogs by Sports Interactive.

Similar to last week, the videos are hosted by Sports Interactive's Miles Jacobson and detail some of the game's new features.

The first three videos explore the new staff roles available in the game, as well as new player-specific training features and changes to the rules of football around the world.







The remaining three videos look at the streamlined player comparison system, changes to the way contracts and transfers work, as well as the addition of a more dramatic transfer deadline day.







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.

Football Manager 2013 will be available for the PC before Christmas.
