100% going to stick with the 'restricted attributes' views that I've used in 20 and 22 - not quite as hardcore as Dan with his completely attributeless and no stars. But it just works for me and hits a really good combination of realism and forcing me to use the statistics that we've all been introducing to our recruitment processes recently. Similar to Dan, I have no skinning ability to going to have to wait for someone else to produce a skin with stars or similar.
Re stat tracking - it's definitely something we've complained about a few times. I'm guessing the decision to wipe stats at the end of the season is a processing / file size thing but it's very frustrating. If it could be done, then it'd be fine for me if they just had a season to season option on the Reports > Stats page within their profile. And perhaps also on the comparison screen, you could have the option to customise the stats you want compared, and be able to compare Player A's stats from the 22/23 season with Player A's stats from 21/22, or even Player B's stats from 21/22. There are so many ways in which the available screens could just have customisable options added to them which would make them exponentially more useful
