You need to see how your players are behaving on the field in order to ensure they're playing well AND to how you want them to play. Match rating only goes so far.

Yeah, I'm starting to see that, wish my CPU could handle 3-D(it's at least 6 years old...sigh)...If FOF had this type of "detail", it would be amazing. As it stands, I'm starting to dig the new-layout. I could never get into the older versions of FM because I'd go crazy within 15-20 minutes trying to figure everything out, but the "wizard" and the updated layout really makes everything much easier to understand. I have a feeling this could go down, in my book, as the best text sim I've ever played. Can't wait till the 30th!

EDIT: Still wish I could quick-sim the friendly matches...
