Here's some of the changed pages in the 2013-14 edition and a list of the additional features:
1. The match highlights have been speeded up by about 30% by using some machine code routines - yes, its no longer 100% BASIC.
2. The extra training sessions now have 3 intensity levels which affect not only the training results but also the team morale.
3. There's now a Manager of the Month award each month (every 4 games), which is saved in the Manager's Career stats.
4. Two more countries have been added to the database. Leagues can now have any even number of teams between 8 minimum and 20 maximum.
5. There are 30 questions from the media that you can be asked (pre-match, post match, transfers in/out etc) and the answers can affect the fanbase and team morale.
6. Sometimes a club will offer a player exchange option as well as one for sale.
7. Up to 3 friendly matches can be played each season. These can be profitable (particularly against a top team) if cash is tight, but players could get injured or sent off. (A friendly match does not count as the suspended game for a player, and the only game stats affected by the match are players' energy and disciplinary points).
8. The Manager can attend Board of Directors'meetings, where an opinion will be given on club finances and team performance. If cash is low, they may offer some additional funds (but never more than once in a season).
9. A visit can be made to the Medical Treatment Room, to see how long players will be unavailable through injury. They may or may not be happy to see you.
10. All the division's results and fixtures for the season can be viewed (excluding cup games).
11. There are 4 team commitment levels to choose from each match - higher levels may reduce the number of highlights for the opposition as your team wins more tackles, but they are more likely to pick up cards from the referee.
12. The Manager Rating calculation has been improved. It's now 80% last season's performance and 20% from previous seasons to reflect that achievements in years gone by become less important. It also produces a rating comment from the Board of Directors.
13. The longest unbeaten run has been added to the Manager's Career stats.
14. The match highlights order is now less predictable and the match clock has been refined.
15. The game has been made slightly harder for all skill levels.
16. The club can be fined by the FA for a poor disciplinary record.
17. A financial summary is provided at the end of the season.
18. Player values are now recalculated weekly to reflect the training progress.
19. Other clubs may ask to loan a player from your club.
20. There's now 50% more sponsors than in the previous version.
21. There's more variety to the random events.
22. You decide on the discount offered for season tickets.
