It is the fourth year in a row that we get the winter transfers data in 2 parts instead of 1, so it appears this approach has become the norm by now.
Featuring more than 250,000 database changes since the Main Data Update on March 2nd, this update contains deals that happened during February including MLS.
Owing to a change to the closing date of Chinese transfer window, that data is not included here. Instead, a further update addressing the relevant moves specifically just covering the ins and outs of the Chinese leagues will be released in the coming weeks.
A gameplay patch containing fixes and improvements across multiple areas of the game is also included in this Update. These fixes will work in your existing saves.

The Final Winter Update for Football Manager 2023 is now complete, with this second part covering transfers from windows that closed during February, database updates and a few outstanding gameplay fixes.
To gain access to the new data and updated league rules you will be required to start a new game, however the majority of changes and fixes are save game compatible meaning you’re fine to continue any pre-existing save.
This means that upon starting a new game, the latest database will be available with updated squads, managers and everything else which happened before the February window closed. To update you will need to close down Football Manager 2023 and re-launch for it to update. If this does not work for you or you feel it has not updated you will need to restart Steam or Epic Games.
Even if that doesn't do the trick, then verify the game cache will.23.4 List of Changes
