14 DAY TRIAL // Video game developer Sports Interactive is announcing that it is deploying a new update for Football Manager 2015, labeled 15.3.0, which will make a range of changes to the game in general and is also introducing all the transfers that have taken place in the real world during the January window.
The company says that gamers should see the patch download automatically on Steam and that it is entirely save game compatible, but a restart will be required for issues that are linked to the database and competition setup.
A full list of the changes made to Football Manager 2015 by update 15.3.0 can be seen by clicking on the button at the end of this article.
Fans of football will be happy to learn that some problems with marking, wall positions and defensive play in the match engine have been solved.
The new English Premier League TV deal has also been added, which should mean that clubs in the country have more money to get access to top talent.
Transfers in Football Manager 2015 and player interactions should also be improved and the editor has also received some tweaks in the new update.
Sports Interactive also says that it is looking for a way to introduce some of the rule changes that are coming in Russia and Turkey without breaking saved games for those who are running long games in those leagues.
Football Manager 2015 might get another data update in the coming months
Most players of the series tend to play seasons using their favorite teams, which means that data updates only affect them when they look to start another long-term campaign.
Sports Interactive has not said whether it plans to deliver another big data update for Football Manager 2015 before it moves to the next title in the series, but one at the end of the season would make sense.
The title is at the moment in solid shape and offers a very realistic take on the major competitions in football.
The 3D match engine is still not a rival for that in FIFA 15, but the choice of tactics and the improved transfer mechanics make it a very solid choice for all virtual football lovers.
