TacoCorp Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 This is the first FM I'm playing from the date of release so I have little idea how these transfer updates work. Does it mean that players that have transferred in January will be available at the club from the start of the 2015/16 season? What about free agent signings in lower leagues as well, are they reflected from the original game start date? Essentially, I was wondering if the update made it so the 2015/16 start date in-game is accurate to the corresponding real life day or to "February 1", 2016?

sallers75 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 As I recall it makes them available from the start of the season rather than in January. That's only if you start a new game of course Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 The date the game starts when creating a new game stays the same as it is now for example.. just that all the new transfers and other data updated is in the game from the start... So teams will have their updated squads from the very start at the same date as it is now in game i.e 2015.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacoCorp Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Cheers! Further to that, is it usually the case that any data issues are corrected and/or other game improvements made or is it just a transfer update? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Yeah, any data issues raised and accepted will be included, and there is a possibility for any core game improvements to be included if there are any. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomit Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Starting NEW saves: For maximum realism after the February patch including a database update, start the game in February 2016 (using a nation where that's allowed). You can then choose to take over a team at that point, or fast forward (holiday) to June/July 2016 and start there. I don't know how you all feel about this, but for me, starting a save in July 2015 with players included in the team that shouldn't be there untill next January is just ... wrong. That's why I do one of two things: Install the February patch without the database changes (that is still possible, right?), or include the updated database but then delay my new save start to June/July 2016.
