Football Manager 2013 Patch 13.2



This is the 4th FM13 update which adds a dark skin, 2 new FMC challenges and also addressing various other bugs and improvements.
Just in time for Xmas, Sports Interactive just released the 13.2 update for Football Manager 2013 via Steam. 

To update you will need to close the game down and re-launch for it to update. If this does not work for you or you feel it has not updated you will need to restart Steam.

Released: 19 December 2012

Once updated the version number will be 13.2, more specifically the full version numbers will be:

As with the previous updates:
  • It is save game compatible allowing you to continue your current save game.
  • There are no database changes, if you start a new game the database number will remain 13.0.0.

For the two new challenges for FMC the store has now updated, if you were already in the store when it did so you will need to exit and relaunch for the catalogue to update.

You can find both the following new challenges in the store for 99p.

Financial Storm
Your club is in financial peril. Can you maintain competitiveness on the pitch whilst reducing the club's debt and wage bill off it?

Unrest at Home
Your appointment as manager has left some senior players unhappy. How will you handle the dressing room and the inevitable egos within? Can you avoid being sacked before the end of the season by matching the board's expectations?
