I don't really like the auto-assignment of skill points either, because one may occasionally want a player to stay on a certain level ending in 4 or 9 because one plans to sell the player soon.
By far the biggest problem, however, is the inability to view players' morale and condition percentages. Without the condition percentages, one can't really do any really targeted training of one's players, and that is a major step down from the previous version. I know for a fact that many users really enjoyed to be able to do targeted training of their players. That was basically the big thing that you could do in between matches.
I like many things about the update, so from my point of view: If Nordeus product managers and developers could quickly get together and fix the obvious problems relating to auto-assignment of skill points as well as the missing condition and morale percentages, the update could actually be a great one.
