Normally takes a good few months and one solid save to get into FM, but I must admit I actually really like this one. The sheer amount of information is difficult to contend with at first but it's all very useful. Plus the new set piece routines are great. Intensive language courses and wage contributions are also a fantastic idea that have been needed for a while now. Once the bugs are ironed out I really think this may well be up there with the best. Maybe not 01-02 or 03/04...but not far off it.
The only thing that i think is wrong is the amount of great young players... its just too many. I can pick 7 or 8 11s with all great players, which in part is good, to not get all in my team and make the game more hard, but with regens coming... ouch!
The rest is great, more than enough for a final release!
PS - i still have nightmares with 14..
However, reverting back to what are basically sliders in team and player instructions (tempo, passing etc) is great!Not sure I like the tactics screen/interface. Ive barely played but the change doesnt feel merited, is confusing and is definitely not a further refinement.
