Football Manager 2013 is the newest version of the most beloved manager game in the world. Here you can take controll of your favorite club, or you can start with an unkown team and lead them to glory.

The series tough started out beeing called Championship Manager and the first version of the game was developed in the bedroom by two brothers called Paul and Oliver Collyer in 1992. Electronic Arts were offered to publish the game but the rejected the offer, something they probably regret today. Because after a slow but steady start the game exploded in popularity and were in a few years it became one of the fastest selling pc games. 

Since they were rejected by E.A the brothers started their own company called Sports Interactive but was published under Eidos and have had tremendous succes. The game is season based and it comes a new game each year following the previous season in the football world. But in 03/04 season Sports Interactive were split from Eidos, that in my opinion happend because the game was becoming to popular and both studios wanted higher royalties for the game. So it all accumulated in Sports Interactive leaving Eidos and joined the ranks under SEGA. 

This ment that they had to leave the name Championship Manager behind so in 2005 Football Manager was born. And they have not looked back creating and adding more new features each year, the game has exploded in popularity even tough Eidos untill last year came out with versions of CM. FM won the battle of the fans and have mounted itself in the top of the manager based games ladder. 

But the new game Football Manager 2013 have just come out for about a month and it is reciewing glowing reviews from many different respected game magazines all over the world. 
It got almost the highest grade in Dagbladet and got the highest grade in VG:

And it is justified I have only bagged about 20-30 hours of gameplay and boy it is like candy for a football fan like me. I am currently controlling Rosenborg in the Norwegian Premier Division and I am leading the table after 12 played games. Bagging in 8 victories 3 Draws and 1 loss i am in leading position to win the leauge, I hope! 

But all the new features are great and more intricate than ever, like for an example your assistant manager is getting smarter and he got more possibilities like in game feedback and he can help you with more tasks that you maby dont want to do. I am still not used to the new setup of the HUD because i am to used to the setup in FM12 and it is alot of changes to the game HUD so even for a seasoned player like me (who have played the series since CM98) it is a challenge to learn the new setup. But I do it with joy and great determination to lead my team to victory in the leauge. 

So if you want endless amount of fun playing a game who is challenging you every day go buy your version today and take over your favorite team and lead them to glory!
