I was just wondering if when the new patch comes out, will I have to start a new game? Or can I continue with the current one?

All SI patches are compatible with your current save game but , depending on what is fixed, you may require to start a new game for some of the fixes to take full effect.

SI have been rather vague and told us "when its ready" like we are naughty children harrassing our parents as to when dinner is ready!

Transfer update, definitely.

Match engine issues, statistic issues, registration issues... etc... should fix your saved game, but like FrazT says, you might have to restart for some of them to take effect.

One example I am thinking of is Chairmen personalities. A lot of these guys are proper idiots on the game, selling your best players for only 10-25% more than their value. If this is pre-programmed into their personality you'll have to restart a game for this fix because of how the game works. If it's a problem in the game code itself it should be fixed in your saved game.

For the record, this example DOES happen in real life, and IMO should remain, but the decisions should be based around much higher "too good to turn down" limits.
