Classic is a quicker way of playing FM. It's designed for people without the time to play FM the usual way.

From FM13's Wiki page: FM13 includes a quicker mode of play, called "Football Manager Classic". This new mode allow gamers to complete a season in less time than the normal game mode. It retains the 3D match engine and player/staff database, but simplifies the way players manage their club and allows them to focus on selected key areas to build success. A player can complete a season in approximately seven hours of gameplay.

Thanks, going to try both.

Started as unemployed last night and managed to get a job at Leeds who were unbeaten at the time, seemed strange that I would get such a high profile job to start with......

Doesn't it depend what your previous reputation was as a player? If you were a great player you get offered better jobs at the start if unemployed. Iirc anyway.

Is there an editor for this year's game yet, or does it come out with the release of the full version? Just need to tweak a few contracts that aren't correct.

Ah yeah I did put international experience in the options, think I might start again as I normally like to build a team from the conference.

Last year it came out when the full game was officially released. Probably the same this year. Apparently there is a real time editor this year, too.

Do gamefly just email you a steam key upon release? Was going to get my dad it for christmas, so at £25 quid it's a steal!

Yes, I got my email within 5 minutes of making payment.

Just logged in at work (on a different laptop to my home one) to have a scout for some good youth player while having my dinner and it seems my cloud save is not there........has anyone else had this issue?

What contracts aren't correct? Just wondering. I've managed to add the facepack and other graphics to the game no problem at all.

where did you get the facepack from please?

Gimpymoo · 17 Oct 2013 at 13:50

This game was crying out for Cloud saves.

It's just me picking holes in things. I've had to break my wage budget (and as such render myself useless in the transfer market) to extend a player's contract. However in real life he's contracted through until 2016.

Anybody ordered from Grainger Games? Haven't received my code yet.
