Disappointed
Verified purchase
Its so bad. I've played previous FM titles for hundreds of hours, but I cant get this going at all. There's too many fundamental mistakes and bugs. The UI is awful, and unintuative

This is absolutely unacceptable. The devs game themselves and extra YEAR and still could not produce a finished, improved game. Nothing besides the graphics have changed. They call this an all new game? This is a new match engine over the same old code we have had for 6 iterations of the franchise. How unbelievably disappointing.

It's unplayable for a large portion of the community. With constant bugs and crashes, it feels like the game was unfinished, but the pressure to release outweighed the pressure to make sure it was playable.
