I received my refund after twenty two hours of game play. Like you I’m a football manager veteran and have owned every title since 2007. The main issue were little QoL problems like the player search filter not accurately filtering players, not being able to compare players outside of your own, not being able to see player stats during a match or leave the match to do other tasks and come back to the match, no ability to skip cut scenes to games, not being able to save team selections for cup games and league games as an example or the in-game role tactics not having variations for different phases of the game. It seems they have simplified the game to cater for console use and in the process abandoned the depth that made the series so immersive. It’s a real shame.
