I watch this and who the hell wants moving hair.

Moving hair, while the faces look like this:



I just don't get it.

Also, the new stadium models / "parts"... I'm not really convinced of the point behind this, when they purposefully make the stadiums look different from the real ones to avoid licensing headaches. Do I care if my team's stadium looks cooler but still nothing like the actual ground (on purpose)? Not at all. So thank God for modders (@BassyBoyYT)...

I get different teams work on different things, but I can't believe any meaningful resource is going into this area after the last couple of years. It really is right at the bottom of the pile

The comments have really made me laugh.

The top ones are things like "please just add things that add depth to the game like new player roles, that's all we care about" - but then, directly underneath:

 
The animations and match engine still doesn't look that impressive but maybe it will change nearer release.

It is also incredibly unrealistic as during the video Tottenham scored a goal.
 
Excluding the general graphics and animations, which should be better by now but it's not important enough to be that angry about it...

...I think that's fairly impressive! But the proof is in the pudding.
 
What's FM like these days? Is it still something you can sink 100's of hours into. I gave up with the series around FM16. I played a few demo's since but it started to feel like having another job instead of a game to enjoy. The addition of twitter nonsense and other stuff didn't appeal to me either. It was a shame as I'd bought every version up to that point right back to the first one of the Amiga. Thinking back, my 26 year career at Wycombe Wanderers was something of a high point. I still remember the moment, about 15 years in, when my striker, who'd made his debut at 18, scored his 300th goal for the club. I built a statue in the garden for him (this may not be true!). But anyway, I wondered what the feeling was about the game for you guys now. Do you still play extensively or end up putting it down and coming back to it again on the next version?
I remember getting really excited for the 3d match and then wishing it had never happened when it finally came. The half time talks always felt too 'gamey' as well, say one thing wrong and your best player's pissed off with you.

Sorry for the ramble!
