IT COSTS 50 EUROS PER YEAR AND IS NOT OPTIMIZED UNTIL MARCH (GOES ON SALE IN NOVEMBER)

Well, after 1 season with Wigan (I was promoted to the Championship, 20 was expected) and 3 seasons with Valencia CF, I have won the Champions League, the League and the National Cup. My forward Maxi Gómez has been the top scorer of the three seasons (a team that in real life struggles to be in the center of the table).

I feel that this game does not convey emotions to me. It is a game without a soul. These are the reasons:

-AI does not pose any challenge to the user. The decisions they make are absurd as I expect great teams to constantly sign players, make efficient tactical changes to fight my team, and hire a coaching staff that lives up to their reputation.

-This leads me to talk about the DIFFICULTY of the game. Year after year I notice how the difficulty decreases. This is bad news for veteran FM players. Simply knowing how to place the players with high morale and in a more or less acceptable position for the player, the job is done. I don't know if this is an SI strategy for attracting customers, what I do know is that it will make long-time loyal customers get tired of spending money every year. My experience sharing FM with people who come from other management games / soccer games is that they consider that the game has too many clicks (well, that's another story, for example I really appreciate the immersion that I am not feeling this year). Simply, that type of user just wants to press a button and have his team score goals. Wrong SI strategy in my opinion.

Another note on difficulty: the game is based on streaks / matches won without losing streaks / matches without winning streaks, the latter being very rare.

-This leads me to talk about the ATTRIBUTES having almost no effect. I have come to use clearly offensive midfielders as a recovering midfielder and they have had disconcertingly positive stats. Something that already happened in previous FM. Experiments are known in which people have used goalkeepers from the U23 team as forwards and have had positive results, scoring goals as real killers.

- Game day experience is terrible. Much information is missing. I can't move my players from the match screen, for example. I have to go through the tactics window for everything. The timeline has disappeared, something I used frequently. I am supposed to have my second coach by my side but I cannot consult him when I want (?). The tips disappear when a play is played and I can't go back to them.

Other aspects with which I am not going to elaborate much:

-Use a 4231 gegenpress, you will win everything and without physical consequences on your players. Take a starting eleven and repeat it, without doing rotations and you will win them all.
-The interface: a lot has already been said about how poorly implemented it is and how little intuitive it is.
-Press conferences: what a useless novelty. It is still repetitive and also now takes me longer, its consequences being very little visible in the game.
-You can't trust your employees at all because their actions are just stupid. (an AI problem that has dragged the game down year after year)

The only positive that would come out of this FM is the improvement of the ME. And although some details have to be polished to give it more realism, I must say that it has been a great improvement compared to last year (something that was not very difficult).

Finally, another thing that makes me very furious is paying for a game that won't really be ready until February or March. Although, sadly, this happens frequently in many new games. This, as consumers, is something we would have to react and act on.

Last year I was one of the clients who said this year's news wouldn't fool me and I still fell in love. That will not happen again.

Pd: sorry for my English :)
