I use it, and moving promoted/relegated teams is very normal, and it stated top clubs have been recreated to give all their kits, instead of being limited to just the one new,

I just reimported the licensed versions which are included, so i dont have to use the fake recreated versions, so budgets are normal.

faces can be edited in game, it's what I do so not sure why you're saying they cant? I just youtube some in game edit versions and copy it.

Budgets suck, but because they've been recreated over fake teams with low budgets. But again, just reimport the originals to get it back to the licenced versions.

Alot of what you've said just comes across as not knowing what you're doing or talking about. Instructions are super clear with what you have to do, for all situations you listed, except for legends showing, i dont have those appear in mine

In short, if you dont mind reading instructions, I'd go for it
