Football Manager iPhone - Update 2 out now (details enclosed)

[Marc Vaughan]

I'm pleased to announce that the second update for Football Manager Handheld on iPhone has passed internal QA at SI/SEGA and is now in submission with Apple.

Because we can't schedule an exact release date for this update (it simply comes out once Apple are happy with it) I'm posting details of what is in it here now and will answer basic questions about it before it comes out rather than potentially leave people in the lurch if its released when I'm not available (I'm flying over to Blighty on friday so my online time will be sporadic).

Please note that this update integrates the game manual from being a separate application to actually being 'in game' - because of this the second update will require use of the 3.0 OS version (which is a free download if you haven't upgraded to it already).

# Update 2 (Version 1.4) Fix List
Integrated Manual into game
Fix budget news indicating incorrect transfer budget
Further improvements to the 2d match display
Various minor tweaks to the game match engine
Prevent dialog box dragging
Changed autosave duration to weekly
Implemented adjustments between wage and transfer budgets
Default autosave on for new installs (to prevent people forgetting to save)
Default shake to continue off (to avoid where people have faulty devices)
Integrated Manual Application pages into game
Tweak wages given to regenerated players
Fix dutch holiday dates
Added Battery display to Manual page area
Added Real World clock display to Manual page area
Added Signal indicator to Manual Page area
Tweaked memory warning trigger point so shouldn't appear quite as often now
Implemented new squad view types
Fixed rare issue where scouting stopped working
Fixed rare issue where link to reserve team disappeared
Slow down growth of club budgets when promoted to the Premiership
Fixed extremely rare crash when doing lots of changes with subs
Tune injury occurance rates
Fix minor glitches in manager and player

Finally ..

All fixes should operate within existing save games you should be able to continue your games without any adverse effects.

This is NOT the final update to the game, but until this one has been released and we've collated feedback I can't indicate what will be in any subsequent updates or indeed when they might be released.

As always please DO give us constructive feedback on the game and help us continue improving it.

If you're unfortunate enough to have an issue with the game then please let us know and we'll try and help you out as promptly as possible (either post in the bugs thread on the sigames.com handheld forum or email me directly at [email protected]).

Hope this helps,

Marc
PS - Available in all stores the game is released via.
