Football Manager 2017 And Football Manager Touch 2017 Update 17.2.0

A new patch 17.2.0 for Football Manager 2017 and Football Manager Touch 2017 is now available to download via Steam.

A lot of changes takes place in the games, so I will try to point out the most important ones. I have to mention, Football Manager 2017 haven’t been refreshed for a while now and the players were not happy about it. So, this is the biggest update so far. Here we go. The stability and performance in the game are now fixed and now the lag when browsing inbox will no longer take place. The Austrian leagues and the German players are also with adjustment. Stadium appearances and competitions are with an update. The ball will no longer go through ad-hoardings. Graphics are also improved and the linesman flag will no longer flash in the center circle.
