Title pretty much says it all. The matches are really why we come to play. Everything else is just preparation for those events (ie, if there’s no matches, why develop your players?). But the animations are frustratingly short. Announcer’s comments are no substitute for watching the match play out (and are especially annoying when they announce your team scored a goal, but don’t show the animations of that play - I’d have thought that all scoring plays would count as highlights).
Seriously, limited animations cheapen the experience and weaken the quality of the app. Other apps offer 3D animation, and I’m sure you’ve had that request. But if that’s still a ways off, the very least you could do is let us see the full matches when our teams play.
