New in FIFA Manager 09 Patch 3 (Mar 3, 2009)

Loading of Save Games Stops:
The loading bug is fixed. You will be able to continue your save games after the installation of the update.
Live Ticker:
The number of goals after corners is massively reduced, the ticker is further extended, various text bugs were fixed, the penalty shoot-out was improved (in the old versions saved penalties were not displayed). The consequences of various tactical settings were also improved. The problem of many yellow cards for particular players was solved, the number of free kicks was reduced. The display how many goals a player has scored in the match was fixed. Teams play with less fouls if they are leading with several goals, booked players now play a lot more careful. The total number of goals was slightly increased.

the loading of staff members from the editor is now working
