I have played the football and championship manager games for 25 years. I wanted to love this game but every aspect of it is painful except the match engine. Navigating the new UI is terrible and unintuitive. More often than not the buttons you click just don't work. Filters are a hit and hope. Hitting the previous page is essentially a random page button. I can only hope 27 will be better.
