That wasn't my issue though; I was asking why people are so upset about the game being made more realistic. I can see your point about it becoming stale, the live play gets monotonous, training and watching ads every day also does. As does the constant begging for coins, both players I spent a few hundred coins on proved to be detrimental to the balance of my team.

It's only a game on your phone, though. People should understand that it has inherent limitations, and that if they want a portable version of Football Manager 2018... well, it doesn't exist, does it? This is pretty much the best they're going to get that fits in their pocket. It being made more realistic is, surely, a step in the right direction. It isn't perfect - far from it - but allowing mutants to be trained can't be good for the game's overall playability, in the long run. The evolution in the game is going to have some hits and some misses. I can't say for sure if the latest is one or the other, as I said I never faced mutant teams and always tried to have balanced players that could all attack and defend. My record's not brilliant, but neither is the record of any real team in a real league.
I see the usual gang of veteran players are on your trail, this is common strategy from them if anyone dares to upset their known truths. These veterans have worked the game out , either by themselves or by borrowed intelligence , and they live within the flaws in the game system and call themselves professional managers because of it. If you look at their records they have each "won" umpteen trebles with teams full of mutants who they play in manipulated leagues and they think they are fantastic because of this. By the way Gobobo , mutant players , manipulated draws/leagues/cups and even tanking are not illegal in this game at the moment so it is not considered cheating.
These same professional managers get their jollies by creating mutants, beating opponents 10-0 every game and winning meaningless trophies. Personally I dont find the fun in what they do and never will but they do and they will defend the way they play wholeheartedly and with passion and to them any other way of playing is just wasting time. They can be quite savage in their treatment of anyone who wants to stop or alter the way they play and they dont bother to ask if what they do is in the best interests of the game as a whole. They dont ask because they dont care , all they seem to care about is the little brag lines at the bottom of their posts such is the lowliness of their self esteem.
Anyway do yourself a favour and dont try to argue with them , it just attracts more of them. Say what you need to say and leave it said. Also the ignore button is your friend lol.
