I have played half a season on beta and I think it's great. Apologies if some of my observations are dated but not played FM for years.
Managed to be successful using my own tactics using the team I have been given rather than searching the web for tactics.
I can keep my 'team instructions' to pretty much default and not get battered by everyone.
Not used the transfer market yet so can not comment on that.
Not found the option if it exists but would be good to have a option to 'continue to next game / manager action' I seem to spend a lot of time pressing continue.
I think 10 hours for a season as suggested by the si team might be pretty difficult to start with as I have spend 7 hours already without any transfer activity. ( my pc is not a slow one either )
