I have been playing OOTP25 a fair bit since the playoffs started.
I have actually grown to like the player development lab quite a bit. There are options to work on a lot of different parts of the game, but the gist is that you can improve aspects of your players' games. The best for me have been in improving defense, improving secondary pitches, and (my favorite) strength and conditioning (which can alter injury proneness).
International signing/training is still not all that enjoyable, but it seems like there is a little more of working towards signing a class rather than just going big for one stud player. I've probably only gone all in on one player in about 25 years, but it is more typical to get 1-2 primary targets (3.5-5 star) and then grab another 2-4 lesser guys (2.5 star types).
Anyway, thought I would revisit since I enjoy getting a season in during evenings this time a year. Pretty good experience after some patches.
I'd say trading is more challenging and the game itself is more challenging. It actually took me awhile to build my team into a consistent contender.
