Football Manager 2012 Summer Transfer Updates

The summer transfer window has been officially closed, even though there are still a few more hours/days left for free agents depending on the country. It's the time of the year we seek a new challenge for a save game, and having the latest real world transfers is exactly that.

A lot of people are asking the same question every year around this time: Will there be an official data update for the summer transfers? The answer is NO. There never was an official summer patch. Summer data update always comes with the new game release.

However, Football Manager is known for its loyal and powerful community. Certain people create unofficial data updates every year by using the official data editor. These unofficial updates can be used in your game and have nothing to do with pirate copies; they are editor data files you could create yourself.

While we haven't created our own data update for this cause, we are glad to present you with all the quality data updates made around the scene.

Let's have a look at what they do and how you can apply them to your game...
