FM Live update delayed

v1.3 will now be released October 7.

Sports Interactive has announced that the highly anticipated v1.3 update for Football Manager Live, which had been expected on September 30, will now roll-out to live game world servers on Wednesday, October 7.

"Obviously we don’t like putting a delay on the release of this fantastic new version of the game however I know most of you will understand that it’s necessary for all the right reasons," explained a FM Live blog post.

Essentially the delay is down to the FM Live team not receiving the new match engine from the FM team when they expected. There's also a few tweaks and bug fixes that need more time to be properly tested.

For those looking for a challenge, you'll find myself and our editor Tom in the St John game world.
