 Regional talent scouts (In anew game area, you get the chance to focus more on talented players who are situated in your region, scout them, foster them and recruit them for your team. To do this, you have to choose staff to perform these tasks and you can also allocate funds to e.g. improve the regional youth coaches' quality who are working at smaller clubs) is the winning feature from the third round of Your Feature campaign. Now you can vote in the next round and here are the proposals:
A) Escape clause for particular clubs and getting loaned-out players back
During negotiations, players might from now on demand an escape clause for certain clubs. Some players have a club favorite club, a club they always wanted to play for or a club where they want to end their career. You can select such a club in the editor. In addition, we implement the option to get a loaned-out player in the winter break back to you club, for example if they haven't played for their new club.
B) Dynamic league development
The individual leagues are constantly re-evaluated based on a series of criteria like financial status, international successes, balance, attendance, quality of the arenas and the like. This evaluation furthermore influences the income from television contracts and the general prestige level of the clubs.
C) More detailed player search option
We will extract the already screen “World’s Best" from the statistics area and move it to the player search area. New search criteria will be nationality, league and position. Besides the option to sort after player abilities, you can also sort after player level, market value, goals, appearances, caps and the like. This way you have the perfect tool at hand to find the best players in all categories within second and compare them to similar players.
D) Coach Profile
We analyze you as a coach in detail. Which formation do you use the most? How successful and effective are your training methods? How do you talk to your players in the week, before the game or in the half-time? What are your substitution patterns? How do you deal with the media? Of course, we also take a look at your overall strengths and weaknesses and tell you in which fields you could still improve.
E) Club members
We boost the importance of club members. Success and transfers will have a much heavier influence on your members’ behavior. The signing of certain players can trigger unrest or even lead to large number of fans withdrawing their membership. In addition, the service you provide your club members plays an important role and ultimately influences the membership fee.

Feature C) Repurchase (In certain cases, you might have a bad feeling after you sold one of your players. We will implement a repurchase option which gives you the chance to buy him back if he performs impressively at his new club. This will of course only be possible for a higher prize as the one you got for the initial transfer!) is the winner of the second round, thus it will be implemented in FIFA Manager 13 game. That means it’s high time for the next round, so you have another 5 suggestions you can choose to be voted by you. Here are the propositions:
A) News on loaned out players and on players on the short list
If a player you loaned out to another club is particularly successful, scores goals or gets injured you will receive a news bulletin in the news section. There you will also get informed about goals and injuries of players on your short list. Both these options are of course optional so your mailbox can handle it. In addition, we'll divide the short list into several categories to give you a better overview.
B) Fantasy Draft
We will integrate the Fantasy Draft as seen in the Online Mode in FIFA MANAGER 12 into the main game. At gamestart, this mode allows you to allocate a fixed budget on a pool of players. So it is your choice whether you want to put all your money on few stars and fill the rest of the squad with weaker players or you can put together a balanced squad. In offline multiplayer-mode, you will take turns.
C) Player-names, -pictures and -appearance
In the player info we add a button that allows you to change the 3D appearance of a player (exactly like you design the player-manager). There you can also define a player picture! You can either select this photo from a pool of pre-selected photos or you can use your own photo. For youth players the option will be available to automatically assign the existing player picture of a retired, identically named player. If you activate reincarnation, the existing player picture will also be assigned by default.
D) Regional talent scouts
In a new game area, you get the chance to focus more on talented players who are situated in your region, scout them, foster them and recruit them for your team. To do this, you have to choose staff to perform these tasks and you can also allocate funds to e.g. improve the regional youth coaches' quality who are working at smaller clubs.
E) Youth camps
A detailed filter-option will be implemented for the players currently participating in youth camps. This will make the step obsolete to singularly select the players you do not want to have in a camp any longer. This will make it easier to maintain the overview, even if you maintain a large number of youth camps. In addition, we'll also implement a league position graph in the current league table (so far only available as a widget).

The first round of Your Feature campaign is now completed. The winner is suggestion A) Shooting-Star (Specific players will develop in a never before witnessed kind of way. An unknown Joe Everybody will become a young adult with a well versed personality in only few months. But it is not always a one-way street; a player might enter a state of crisis, might be starting to take it easy or get to eager.), whereas features C (Special up - and downgrades after Euros/World Cups) and D (New departments) will most probably go to later polls. Now it’s time to start the second round so another five fan’s feature are waiting for your votes.
A) Monthly training report
A special monthly screen will keep you up-to-date on your players' training progress. Next to various statistics, this screen also provides you with additional info like e.g. "the player with the best form who didn't play".
B) Friendlies for your second team
If your first team has no scheduled game, you have the option to manage your reserve instead. You will then also be responsible for lineups, substitutions and the like.
C) Repurchase
In certain cases, you might have a bad feeling after you sold one of your players. We will implement a repurchase option which gives you the chance to buy him back if he performs impressively at his new club. This will of course only be possible for a higher prize as the one you got for the initial transfer!
D) Set of features
We include the option to create the partner of your character on your own, design him the way you want him to be. In addition, we overhaul the UEFA Coefficient Ranking, differentiate the various positions by color and also show how many clubs of a country were qualified for the competitions and how many of them are still in it. In the player search you will be able to select the desired position (via a small pitch). If we have time left, small ideas from the thread of wishes will be realized as well.
E) Future of youth players
Status quo is that all youth players from your youth team that you do not sign are taken out of the game. We would change that and the players might even write you letters of thanks, if they for example made it to the National team.
