I'm still not used to the new interface....which has prevented me from getting very far in any league that I will continue with long term....but...each time I load the game up...its feeling more normal to me...each time I like it a little more than before.

It comes down to patience with me. I ask myself..."do I have the patience to learn this completely different interface?" For me...I know it will just be a matter of time before I know how to do what I want or am trying to do without having to hunt for it.

Last night, I knew I would not be able to start any leagues that I would be playing in long-term as I simply didn't have the time (hopefully this weekend). I was dying to see how the game looks and plays once you have some history built up. I simmed two league, one was a quickstart MAL league, the other was a historical league starting in 1901. I simmed about 20 seasons in each. Just seeing how in depth the game can get once you get some seasons built up from just this small sample proved to myself that learning the interface is worth it for me.

I can certainly see however if someone has little time or patience and has no desire to read the parts of the manuals (which are very well done-kudos to the team involved) that they need help in... would get a feeling of why did they change...or its not worth it etc. You just have to ask youself if its worth it to you to stick with it. For me...my biggest obstacles to starting a solo league, which is what I really want to do, all have to do with a few of the aspects of league setup, mainly financials and running the team etc. Some things I have to think about where or how did I get to that before. I suspect by this time next week I will be a well on my way into my first season (I play each game out).
