I'm about in the same boat as gomiami. Personally, I was a bigger fan of the older version. While I don't hate the game now, I don't love it either. I'm not a fan of recruiting. It's time consuming, because of scouting. It requires much more maintenance, because of AP distribution. If you're recruiting up a level and have 30 points on a guy and DI blows you off, or your guy signs somewhere else, you need to check every cycle and redistribute, whereas before i barely had to monitor until we got closer to signings. Other than design, most else remains the same.
