Football Manager 2013 announced!

[Mus]

That high game price is only for Australia. The price for US is $40.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Weird

 

[Mus]

Wow. I wonder if I can get around this with a proxy?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I don't get why it would be priced THAT differently. I mean, it's just from Steam. Anyway, this isn't really a problem. There will be merchants who will sell the game and they email out your steam code the night the game is released. I didn't do this, but I saw it on thedugout.net last year. Probably a much better deal than 40 USD too. And if you just pay with a credit/debit card the exchange rate isn't a factor.

EDIT: Did a quick google and saw this

Whatever you do, don't buy the game from Steam direct if you're an Aussie... SEGA can ♥♥♥♥ off with their regional pricing bull♥♥♥♥...

US$40 on the US store vs US$90 on the AU one...

To the Aussies, I recommend OzGameShop / GMG (if they aren't participating in the BS - generally they're good... occasionally though...) or "elsewhere"...

EDIT2: Now this

GMG: $30; $2 store credit if you are a new customer = $30/$28 (before Sept 17; then $40/$38)

 

[Mus]

Wow, thanks

 

[yoyo913]

Nope, no director of football option.

I'd like that too. Hopefully next version.

 

[Mandieta6]

DoF role would be sweet.

TCM 2004 had it.

 

[Juventino]

Sooooo... are we all excited? Got some ideas what you want to do in this game?

I was thinking of starting the game unemployed for the first time and make that my one and only save. Just learn to manage and play the game as I go along, like a realistic career. There's a huge chance I won't last, I especially hate LLM when I'm watching real life CL games. That always makes me want to assemble the best teams with with ALL the stars. But hey, let's give it a shot.

 

[Filipower]

I'll start my usual game with Porto, I usually am done with that after 3/4 seasons... Then I'll something cool to start and post here

 

[Zlatan]

As per tradition I'll play Arsenal in the demo, and Ajax in my first full game. We'll see after that. I'm thinking PSG or Borussia Dortmund or maybe some big team. LLM can be fun, but not until you get the hang of all the new features in the game, I think.

I was thinking of doing the same thing. Starting somewhere low and building up rep, having it my "main" career game. Instead of unemployed I'd probably start with a bottom Romanian 2nd division team. Then I can randomly do challenges that pop up in my head that way instead of starting a new game each time. It would take more time though. I regret in 12' picking Cesena, I wished I started with Steaua and put all that effort in a harder challenge.

Rumour is demo should be out tomorrow.

Same with Bayern. Often I only make it 2 seasons, but this Bayern team is so ******* great, so might last a little longer. That way I can scope out things and maybe find a lower club with some good talent to take over.

 

[Mandieta6]

Chelsea, although Bayern and Dortmund would be fun. Then maybe that journeyman sae I've been wanting to do for ages.

Not at all excited though.

 

[Back Door Skip]

Most likely Mexican NT, but who knows when I'll actually get the game. Haven't had a lot of gaming time lately.

 

[yoyo913]

This FM has the least amount of exciting new features for me.

I hear the 3D player animations are much nicer tho. But from the people playing the beta they are saying crossing is overpowered and games have too many goals.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Crossing was overpowered in the original version of FM12 too.

 

[Zlatan]

So the demo is out. Going to check it out right now.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I will too. I bet Steam is gonna be hella overloaded.

EDIT: It's fast, but... 1.6 GB!?!? WHY THE **** DO I NEED THAT MUCH!?

 

[fender]

1.6Gb, i'll wait for the release than.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

No Germany quickstart. Meh. I'll probably wait now too.
