At the risk of getting flamed...

I really didn't like 2006. I couldn't enjoy the game at all. And I'm not one of those 'I just want 6.5 with bug-fixes' types. I just thought the new UI was terrible and that most of the features in 2006 were not thought out or implemented properly in the way that made a fun game. I've spent 100s of hours on OOTP since version 3 or 4, and I'm also a big Football Manager player as well.

With all that out of the way, I really, really want to like 2007. But I feel burnt by last year's version, badly, and I didn't sign up for any of the pre-order discounts because 'fool me once, shame on me...'

What I'd like is for this thread to be a place where people who felt similar disappointment in 2006, but bought 2007 can post their impressions. My hope is that these will be positive, enough so that those of us who were on the fence can feel comfortable making the leap to 2007. But I'd obviously what I want is real, honest impressions, and hopefully thoughtful ones as well (no 'It sucks' or 'It rocks' knee-jerk stuff).
