Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Menu design, while still a bit clinical, is coming along as well.
6 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
But if I can make like a overall summary it would be this: The scouting is poor and too easy.
4 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The budget system is a very nice addition, and I would imagine if you play in lower-revenue leagues, would present a different facet of gameplay in terms of balancing your scouting and development budgets.
