Too often with OOTP, going from one screen to another goes from 'game' screen to web browser screen, from one style of layour to another, from one type of drop downs/buttons to another.
Spot on. I'm an FM player as well and have to say the FM interface is miles ahead of this. While FM and OOTP share a lot of the same applets and such, the games are at opposite ends of the playability scale. FM is great fun to play, OOTP is tedious.
