1) Many players noticed that players growth is slower and harder to define. We don't know anymore how different growth rate is between 2 players. We also don't know how to continue new position or SA training. I still play older version because I like it more and because new one significantly slows down my PC.
2) My teams do tanking without trying to do it LOL. One season they play really good and finish in the top 4, next season they are really bad (this one has such start for my main team which is last seasons champion). My other team Dnipro had bad luck in last 2 seasons, finished 7th in both last seasons which in my opinion is the worst position in the league. When my team repeats season, then I don't have to change line-up, I usually don't buy new players for next season or I buy only few (significantly less than when I got promotion).
