This game is now so poor its actually hilarious

This update, oh boy. How can anyone release such a disastrous update that doesn't improve a single part of the gameplay, and actively breaks the few parts that worked ok.

Elite, world class athletes moving at literally walking pace after 70 minutes. Chased by defenders equally slow. This is what Matchday in 1982 on the Spectrum looked like.

Of course, we could use subs. But unlike the real game and every other version, we only have 3 subs. All 11 of our players are moving like 80 year olds. And making 1 sub can easily take 15 minutes of game time. There's another few goals conceded. 

You put your team into the basic defence gameplan. You get up into the opposition half, lose the ball ( because passing is broken) and your defence are all sat on the edge of the 18 yard box waiting like scared kids. 127 ovr defenders. It's laughable. The worst thing you can do is win a corner.. lose the ball and you'll lose a goal. 

Your team shape is only just about right if you stay in the balanced gameplan. So what the update has done is remove the previous 'attacking/ defending' options. Actually made the game worse.

I let my 7 year old have a try. These people will eventually be your core demographic. His feedback? "This is totally rubbish ".

You need to fix this, and fast. If not, nobody will be logging in to even see if you've managed to turn it around.
