Dear adi, i am new manager (just level 4) but i have spent almost half my life playing football manager. I can tell you that you are wright about everything. It took me only a couple of seasons to understand that the game lacks tactical. I control 2 teams and while playing friendly games i have tryed a lot of staff. I cant tell you how disapointed and frustrated i am. I have spent a few money when i begun but now i have stopped wasting my money. You should do the same and then i believe you will enjoy a little more playing it. Take it more lightly mate. By the way i have won every competition i have participated until now (except level 1 cause i took the team 3 days before end of season) so i am not saying that the game is a crap just because i am disapointed.
