In all fairness, its not all bad. Having that said, the pro's simply don't weigh up to the cons.

Ive have a couple of crashes mid game, the game takes longer to load now, auto skill points assignment, scout players can cost up to 69 tokens, No more giving players special abilities, (too mee that was one of the coolest features)allowing to train own youth players and give them experience in the various leagues and selling them after a couple of seasons. Some became quite succesful, even at their new clubs....

Anyways,sure the graphics look cooler, theres sound and music now, and some more cool stuff, which we might have actually enjoyed , if weren't they have been realised at the expense of the very things, that made the majority of managers not like this game but love it.

Sure there was a lot to learn and master, but it was also cool to see that people like to discuss their strategies and tactics, each having unique and different views on subjects.

Personally I was really hooked, planning long and short term strategies, evolving my stadium and youth center by speeding it up (yeah that cost me quite a bit too)

Now most of the cool stuff have been taken away........Making me feel like I hooked up with the prom queen, and once we married she turned into a massive knob...The way things are looking , its going to end up in a messy divorce leaving distaste on the time and money wasted..............I sooo hope not.

I realise money has to be made with a enterprise, however, it has gone way over the top. Instead of us playing the game, it feels like the game is playing us.....hardcore.

If Nordeus don't change it back, I am sure that they will survive, the massive ammount of people quitting the game. And most likely create an new form of the game that their new audience comes to apreciate.

What puzzles me is................Why??? why o Why??

I mean.....Instead of the andd-or situation, if Nordeus would have chosen to go for the and- and- scenario , it surerily would have realised a huge increase in new players. Even without making things way more expensive, that would yield much more revenue.
Happy gamers, are the best PR, as they will promote it to fellow gamers...............

Many apreciate all the bling bling, in the game, Many appreciate pure functionality.
It would have been cool to see a "Light" version of the app, (stripped of all the unneccesary gimmicks)
Result, smaller, faster, less complicated, and focussed purily on functionality.

That way , everybody would be happy. Also be able to suit everybodies situation, ( not everybody has fast phones, or batteries that can hold for long)

As for the auto -assignment of skill points, *(the old situation had both options, you could chose to auto- assign, or you could manually assign) Yes one could mess up a player, but in all fairness, that also made it fun while buying new players, (checking their stats and compare it) you know.......proper managing.

People need freedom to make choices of their own, if they can't , whats the point..............???
