14 DAY TRIAL // The development team at Sports Interactive and publisher SEGA are getting into the Christmas spirit by launching a new patch for Football Manager 2015, labeled 15.2.0, in order to improve the match engine and other aspects of the title, while also eliminating a small number of remaining crashes.
The update will be automatically delivered via Steam and is compatible with older save games, although there are some competition-related changes that will only be implemented when a new campaign is launched.
The Football Manager 2015 patch is also introducing two new skins that can be applied for the core game and for the Classic mode.
