1, I would much rather have extra time and effort spent on making the AI better. To me that is the core of the gameplay. I would like to see the game progress to the depths of Football Manager AI (some questionable moves) but overall leaps and bounds better in my opinion. Better AI = more challenge, relistic owner goals, realistic GM/Manager careers i.e. job offers, reputation etc. The core of the game relies on the AI, and when I see the AI trade away it's best playes for pure garbage... it is maddening.

2. I play in 3D as well and definitely think it can be improved. One trick that i do to make it more in sync is set the 3D animation speed to fast or even very fast.. it makes it way more smooth.

TLDR- OOTP Team, please put efforts and time into the AI and core of the gameplay before working on animations please!
As has been mentioned over and over again, this isn't a zero sum game. The people who work on the AI are by and large not the same people who work on the 3D. And you can't just transfer people from one department to the other without basically losing them for a couple months as they learn their way around the new tech (and that's completely ignoring the fact that coding for graphics is a completely different beast compared to coding... anything else).

On the other hand, if they make more money from PT for example they can plow that back into hiring devs for the AI *and* hiring devs for the graphics side of things.
