Rants on Football Manager 26

Lets start with the good

• latest match engine is quite good, haven't see any weird stuff going on and the movement of the players are quite smooth now

The bad

• The new ui is not consistent, space bar sometime works for continue, but on the match it doesn't, so that someone (me) need to click it
• This filter don't work

• this modal page sometimes appear and disappear, a lot of time it's stuck there so that i need to click X on top right if i want to check the message

• When I wan't to confirm, i can't use space bar / enter. I need to click that OK button
• I can't use space to stroll through messages anymore, a lot of press question are skipped due to this
• Shouts are gone, this frustrate me if sometimes I want to bash a player that miss open goal
• I delegate match talks to my Assistant Manager, but I still need to give half time & full time talks

They made no improvement for those who really need one, a lot of them are easy fix rather than adding a whole woman leagues for example:

1. they use the same script template for any interaction, i start to delegate it to my assistant manager due to lack of variety on before / after match, dugout, the press are like NPC that keep asking the same question over and over again. even interaction with agents & player.
2. Player asking for improved contract are too often, on highest football league level even if they're not paid that low anyway, and they ask for quite high wages that always break wage structure, and more people will ask for new contract if I've ever give one
3. almost everything else

To summarize this, not only they make almost no improvement, they also manage to make their games more retarded than before, even after 1 year break of not releasing anything.

I can believe that QA on Sports Interactive are only using scripts to test their game and no human really ever test this game.
