  • Administrators

After all the debate and questions about when the next patch is due, I’m happy to announce the Football Manager 2010 10.2 patch is now available to download!

Found below are the links which will take you to websites hosting the latest patch. Remember that if you are a Steam user your game will automatically update, so DO NOT download a separate patch.

If you are using a DVD version download the ‘boxed version’ of the patch, and if you’re using the digital download/ESD version remember only to patch with the digital version of the patch.

A number of issues have been addressed for this patch, a change list of which can be found below.

As always the patch is save game compatible, so you can carry on your current save after adding the patch. However some changes (such as competition changes or changes in the game database) will only take place when you start a new game. Also all changes made previously (such as for the 10.1 patch) are also included, so you don't need to download the old patch first.

Whilst we’re here, we’d also quickly like to take this opportunity to wish all our users and the whole community a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
