You don’t like seeing “Premier Division” instead of “Premier League” in FM 2013, right? Neither do I. Fortunately there is something we can do about it.

Football Manager 2013 Preview: It is quite exciting!

Before you ask, I’ll make this perfectly clear right away: I have been offered the possibility and the honour to play Football Manager 2013 ahead of release, alongside other fan site owners and journalists. But make no mistake, I didn’t play the final game, just a beta version that still has a big “work in progress sign” all over it. However, it does give a good idea of how FM 2013 is going to be.

FM 2013 Video: Football Manager 2013 User Interface (GUI)

We’re getting closer and closer to the Football Manager 2013 release date (November 2nd), so it’s time to have a look at the user interface in FM 2013. There are two videos showing what’s new in that area of the game and since we’re talking about looks I think it would be best to go straight to the videos. All I’m going to say is that the interface looks better than FM 2012 and it also offers better usability.
