Anyone else feel completely ripped off by FC27?

So, I usually play Career Mode, in particular using the Create A Club feature (more about that later) however I can't help but feel ripped off by the new feature "The Grounds". I played the Beta version and tried out "The Grounds" and found it very enjoyable. I tried to play it a couple of days ago after buying the game and playing Manager Career Mode for a while, yet I was stopped from playing it because I don't play for PlayStation Plus. The reason I don't pay for it is that I don't usually get enough time for gaming for it to be worth paying further subscription. The fact that they let players play "The Grounds" in the Beta version without the need for a Plus subscription and then sneaking that requirement into the full game (with nothing in the trailers or pitch notes about it in the build up to release) just seems like they're unnecessarily denying a lot of players (cos I'm probably not the only one who doesn't pay for Plus) access to this new feature. 

Another issue I've found is the fact that the only changes they've bothered making to the Create A Club is 3 or 4 new mascots, and they've changed a couple of the shades of grey in the kit creator to a weird shade of green and another shade of blue. And that's it! No new templates, no new badges, no new team nicknames, just the extra few mascots and a couple of weird colours. They did slightly amend the rivals but I suspect this is more of a bug than a change (I was starting off as a League Two team and it let me choose a Premier League team as my main rival, but then to change to choose a team in the same division and it wouldn't let me change divisions).

Oh, and Player Career Mode... I think they forgot it existed because they've not changed anything on that at all.

Overall, it feels like I've paid for a new game that actually has less features than before despite all of the pomp and circumstance surrounding the brand new game mode. Not happy with it at all.
