Unfortunately, I will not be able to use the tried and tested formula this year, Football Manager 13 is unlike any previous edition of the series. While the original game is still there (and yes, do not worry, I still think the description of new features), this year marks the arrival of classic mode - a simplified version of the game for fans Chapman has expired.

is a fairly radical departure point for Sports Interactive, which, with its emphasis infallible add complexity and depth to the series over the last 10 years. Abandoning is now somewhat surprising - after all, fans have complained about the complexity and slowness of the game has long since become. Maybe it took all this time to give the right balance classic mode. Or maybe it took so long to realize that if realism at all costs is not necessarily what people want.

Whatever the reason, it was really worth the wait. Classic mode is a fun way that the game was not complete for some time, and far from being just trying to back those who had given up, I think that many of those who remained true loyalties are tested this year.

Strangely, it feels like a simulator of EA management, such as the change in tone and presentation. Classic has a much more attractive, lively sense of the practical aspects of his elder brother - but still retains the database very important player and the game engine that has kind Football Manager franchise defining a first

If you have a free afternoon, why not take up the challenge of saving a small team of Dutch descent? Challenge mode will put you on the bench during the winter, and in two or three hours, you can go to the end of the season. Win or lose, your time investment is small - you play for the fun of it. It has been a long time since we can say about a game Football Manager.

unlock in the game you can buy with real money, "cheat" options to help with the game, and although I am concerned that this may have consequences for Series - I'd be surprised if one day we will have to pay more for things that should once included - justs adds to the feeling that this is not a game, a hobby, and it is there to be enjoyed anyway you want. Of course, it is less rewarding than the full version. But if you do not have the time or patience to read the full version again, so who cares?
