I've had issues with the format and formula of FM for years mate. The whole series is stale to me and I find my hours spent on it are through boredom rather than a genuine interest in the game anymore. SI seem to change the smallest things year after year and fail to push for anything substantial to me. My main driver over the past 4 years in each edition has been to pick a formation and get dominance from that because I'm a football geek I guess.

Perhaps it's just the end of my time with the franchise drawing to an end but it's been generally the same tactical approach since the CM days. Press interaction, match days, training, transfers, scouting and the general flow of the game have been basically the same for far too many years now.
A quick YouTube search for 2010 review drew me to this, it's basically the same...
2 big things to change since 2010 are basically the interface and the match engine. Both were outdated and sloppy anyway. I want this to be so much better than it is I guess and have finally grown tired at it not being so.
