There’s still plenty to fix, though. Just a few simple examples I already reported on the SI forums:
Full-time reports are extremely barebones.
You still can’t properly manage youth team lineups.
The loaned players screen is very weak and lacks key information.
The game still doesn’t make proper use of large monitors (it feels like a tablet app).
No proper customization for bookmarks beyond the basic list.
As for the UI, the feeling is 180 degrees, very bad, ugly. And it has nothing to do with the portal and tiles and cards, it is indeed a good idea, and, okay, it will improve until november 4h. But it is messy, complicated, lots of clicks, somehow a little unplayable, for instance it is consuming to give player instructions because the game is constantly repeating the meeting with the team. Si should have keep it simple, right now is a complete mess. And by the way, why on earth they removed the 95% and 85% visualization???
The press speach is almost the same that fm24. Come on guys you can do better!
The main thing is to become more familiar with the new screen flow and feel more comfortable browsing around all the core modules. It's like entering the super market after a week and you're struggling to find products because they moved them around and introduced new price tags. Just a fun example.
