That’s right, a new patch that fixes a lot of things in your Football Manager 2010 game, lots of fixes and improvements available. The most important improvement if you ask me is the reduced memory usage, that was an annoying issue so far. It will also be interesting to see if the changes will have some effect on the tactics we’re using, there are quite a few match engine changes that could make a difference.
You can find a complete list of fixes and improvements, as well as the download links, here.

Hi
Do the facepacks you have uploaded on this site, still work ok with the new 10.2 patch ?
Thanks

@Dom
I’m using the new patch and all the graphics I added still work, so you can download and use them with the 10.2.

hey Johnny,
Long time reader, First time writer here.
Probably a silly question but i was just wondering if you have to restart your game when you install the patch?
Thanks
Johnny Karp
26 декабря, 2009 at 16:02
Chris, you don’t have to restart the game, you can continue playing your old games. However, the new database of the latest patch won’t be «active» unless you start a new game.

hi jonny, iv just down loaded latest patch for fm2010 wots the next stage, how do i put it into game?, thanx mate.
Johnny Karp
30 декабря, 2009 at 00:55
Richie, as far as I know the patch is an executable file, just run it and specify the where you installed the game, everything should work automatically. I have bought the game through Steam and in my case the patches get downloaded and installed automatically, I don’t have to do anything.
Richie
31 декабря, 2009 at 21:25
ok thanks for that jonny, if i get game thru steam how to u add face packs etc?
Johnny Karp
31 декабря, 2009 at 22:15
Richie, you can add those the same way, in the My Documents/Sports Interactive/… folder, just like with the CD game.

Hi Johny,
first, thx for whole blog, I found it helpful and intersting.
I have a question for you, I downloaded Patch 10.2.0 and excuted it, however there is a message keeps poping up says » no CD is found», please note that I bought the game by downloading it from VIRGIN so no CD is availale in the first place.
Please help me since I don’t want to lose my so-far saving game.
expecting your reply at earliest.
THX,
Moh’d

I don’t know anything about how the game is installed from Virgin, I’m clueless. Don’t they auto patch the game like Steam does? I guess you should ask Virgin about it or maybe ask in the SiGames forums, I really don’t know how to help you.
Moh'd
3 января, 2010 at 13:47
THX Johnny anyway.
Appreciate your quick reply.

Rian, please follow the guide on the official website on how to install the patch, I have my game through Steam so I didn’t install the patch, it was done automatically.

I know this is probably just a bad run of form, but is the game now harder?
Johnny Karp
1 февраля, 2010 at 17:05
@Jon
There are some changes but I don’t think the game is more difficult after the patch.
Bilal Ahmad
1 февраля, 2010 at 17:23
Jon definately the came isn’t harder try playing around with your tactics, formation and players until you find a good balance and then keep it the same for as long as you can!

Ok cool, any news on when the next patch is out?
Johnny Karp
1 февраля, 2010 at 17:51
I don’t know anything about a new patch but there probably will be one.
Bilal Ahmad
1 февраля, 2010 at 18:06
Yes there will be a new patch out most likely after the transfer window closes. Source- http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?p=4451717#poststop

i downloaded it , and when i update it gets to 710 updated files and it says ‘violation occured’
Johnny Karp
13 февраля, 2010 at 16:40
From what I know that error occurs if you try to patch the game while it’s running, so try to close it before patching. I might be wrong though but it’s worth a try.

I downloaded patch and started new game to set the database but it still isnt having any effect on my game. What should i do?
Johnny Karp
18 февраля, 2010 at 14:55
Alex, did you install the patch or not?
Alex
18 февраля, 2010 at 15:03
Dunno, i think i did but remind me how, brains gone blank today!
Johnny Karp
18 февраля, 2010 at 15:06
I bought my game through Steam and I don’t need to download or install the patches, they are done automatically. But if you said you downloaded the patch then I think it’s an executable file you have to run like any other installer, just double click it and it will tell you what to do next.
Alex
18 февраля, 2010 at 15:13
Ok thanks for your help
Alex

@Rian
You have to download it and install it, it’s an executable file.

hi
can anyone help
downloaded game on my mac and then downloaded the newest patch. game loads but then says it can’t find an available database and that my installation may be corrupt.
can anyone help?
thanks
Johnny Karp
22 июня, 2010 at 22:20
@Will
Sorry mate, I never played the game on a Mac so I don’t really know much about the installation on your operating system. You could try to reinstall the game or the patch and see if that solves anything.
