Genuinely how can you call this the most complete FM ever is beyond me.
Bugs that are still present from years back like players constantly doing throw-ins to the opposition (which I swear was one of the things that was supposed to be fixed this year), players still running over the ball and then having to come back to get it just to lose it to the defender, defenders still heading the ball to nowhere even though they have plenty of time to control it, keepers still play some of the most outrageous passes that lead to first time shots from strikers even though they're under 0 pressure.
Scouting is completely broken this year with little to no recommendations no matter the size or how good your scouting team is. Player interactions are still a joke, players act like complete children and it just feels like the game trying to add some kind of artificial intelligence because 9 out of 10 times, you can't reason with a player's demands.
The supposedly smarter AI squad building is a farce, it doesn't exist, teams still don't rotate when playing lower priority competitions, the Prem sees players move from rival club to rival club with no issue even if the buying club has no need for that position.
And speaking of Prem, I know the people that provide player attributes are volunteers but does SI not have any kind of team overlooking them? Some players are ridiculously rated just because they play for some big teams or it seems like they haven't updated their attributes from a purple patch they might have had 2 seasons ago.
Very disappointed with this year's release as I have been for the past 4-5 years and I have no faith in this game getting any better with the change to Unity unfortunately.
