Electronic Arts has released a second update for their management simulation title FIFA Manager 09, addressing a series of bugs and problems and even adding a few new features, like new training camp features, a notepad and more. This proves that the developers are on the right track with the game and, if things keep going like this, I predict a quite interesting and very close battle between Football and FIFA Manager next year. Until then, here are all the details of the second FIFA Manager 09 patch:

Live Ticker
– Live Ticker: Referee pictures are displayed (user generated content)
– Live Ticker: Number of assists is displayed after a goal (league matches)
