No, not quite the opposite actually. I've had many disagreements on here where the mods is sucking SIs baws.
As for best in the series, you have to be ******* joking. This is the worst FM game I have ever played...mind you, I've so far been unable to get more than a few hours in without it being completely unplayable. Managed to get ten seasons in on FM12 without any problems, not managed ten weeks into this one.
So many bugs that the match engine was useless. Supposedly released fixes, and now the networks are unusable.
I dont expect a perfect game, but I do expect a playable game from people who've been making games for 20 years or so.
Maybe they should get a job stacking shelves and leave it someone who knows what theya re doing.
