Good Game overall.
Profound content.
Refined game mechanics.
Game engine is realistic and entertaining to watch.

But ... Unbalanced transfer mechanics.
Identical offers

Clubs would often forward identical transfer offers for a player. I wish offers reflect more of the clubs' financial abilities and willingness to buy a player. Offers are often the same, regardless of the clubs' league and financial strength. Offers don't seem to dictated by market offer/demand but some weird random figures.

Season performances matters little for transfer

Also average players with good match performance should receive more offer and should appeal to clubs just like in real life. e.g:

- I could not find a single club to buy a 22 years old player that scores around 20 goal per season, which is proposperous.

- I could not find a single club to buy 2 veteran defenders, both still fairly young, with great match experience and consistent performance.

- I could not find a single club to buy a youngster striker with a dozen goal scored.

In real life those players would have easily been sold to a Newcastle United, or Arsenal for a couple of millions. In this game not even an amateur club would approach them for a free transfer.

Exorbitant offers received for random players

On the other hand I receive an exorbitant offer from a single club for a random player with no real value.

This ruins the realism of the game as you are quickly reminded you are dealing with a machine that sees through match performance while some other time this very same machine makes unjustified offers for useless players.

Conclusion

Still a very enjoyable game which is entertaining to watch and that more contents than ever.
