I just wanted to leave a few quickfire Ups and Downs about the experience I have had with FM17
Ups
The match tactical advice and data analysis improvements are a total revalation. No more feeling bad inside for skipping the 3 monthly staff meeting because im crying over a mid season slump. In all seriousness I feel the break down of advice and more importantly reasons why im getting that advice makes it much more fun than trying to find the almighty tactic mixed with TIs, I am much more engaged to tinker during a match to alter the outcome (or try)
The staff advice from loan suggestions, scouting targets, development etc etc being given at short ifrequent intervals really makes it feel my staff have personality and really sates that little RP itch - where this really comes alive is youth development
The default UI is great (I play dark) - I usually use skins; heavily, though the dark skin this year is beautiful
The behind goal close angle for replays is beautiful
"Being left behind by our rivals" usually being the go to, to get what you want from the board - not being a thing any more is grand.
Downs
Although much better than 16 Cross Shots going in still occurs a bit too much
Like the above, although better than 16 - Goalkeepers still are the subject of absolute insane mistakes
Training needs love, lots and lots of love - hopefully this is something that is to be reworked for 18- as it stands... its just a thing that we do without much excitement
Over All:
I love how this version of the game is full of explanations of Why things are suggested, instead of just - you should do this - has to be the most enriching thing for this version of the game; there are still annoying issues caried over from 16, and at first glance it may seem like its the same toy in new wrapping paper to some, but I disagree with that notion entirely on the merits of how much more alive the club feels. However, please make training more interesting in the future :))
