Contemplating the jump to FM13 from FIFA13

[CybrSlydr]

I've been enjoying the CM Manager mode in FIFA 13 - taking my Columbus Crew to dominating status and snagging recruits from premier teams in the world - and am considering the switch to FM13.

I know it's not out yet, but there's a demo - how does FM13 compare to FM12 to those of you who have 12 and have played the 13 demo? How is the 3D mode to watch your guys play? Also, how scalable are the halves in the games - I know in FIFA 13 20min halves is as long as you can get.

Basically, how highly do you recommend this to someone coming from a FIFA12/13 background?

I played the demo for a bit and I must say, I'm completely overwhelmed. lol

So many choices, options and decisions... I played as Celtic for about 90 minutes and... Holy ****. Good news is that I won my first game - First Team vs Reserves. lol 1-0 on a penalty shot in the first half.

Bad news?... I have no clue what I just did. lol

The only way to learn is to just keep going, make mistakes, and learn from them.

FM 13 is a better game than FM 12. Both games are great, but I personally like FM 13 better so far.

One thing that is good about FM 13, is that the have the classic mode. It is a stream lined version. I think you may enjoy it as a good start point.

Don't feel bad, I think most felt this way when they first played FM. I definitely fell into that category.

Once you play FM then it is difficult to go back to the FIFA or PES for two reasons. The virtual world captures you where you'll be at work doing scouting, debating if you should pony up the extra money to the agent so you can get that striker you wanted or panicking because one of your key players went out for a few months. The other reason, you won't have any time for those games.

Like others have mentioned when you first play the game it can completely overwhelm you. The important thing is take your time and learn the game and do the tutorials. The most important thing I can say is try not to do everything at once. You won't become the master tactician and scout after night. You will have failure and the key is learn from it and not become frustrated with it as the game is the most rewarding game sports I have ever played.

FM13 is amazing...

Lats I played was 2010 and now 2013 look so good.


FIFA career mode is so awful compared to FM

Nice that it comes out on the 2nd, that's the day after payday. Give a whole weekend to play it.
