“The game is very poorly optimized. I played several matches, and it crashes at timeout or at the start of the next quarter. The menu is also lacking (no press conference, no transfer news, no social news, etc.). I will definitely not buy their next title again; I've lost all my enjoyment of this game.”
“The optimization is terrible. Frequent crashes and lag make it nearly unplayable, and the overall user interface feels outdated and unresponsive.”
