Firm yes. When you look at all the changes Sweed lists, bolded and not, for just about everyone who plays, [1] some don’t apply (e.g. PT for me), [2] some are relatively subtle, and won’t reveal themselves until you are well into a season and playing out games, [3] others (e.g. sim engine changes) won’t be apparent until you sim a season and get better (true, fair, realistic, deep) results, and [4] you’ll notice some (e.g. 3D changes) right away, even if that’s not why you play the game. Balance all those refinements against a few aggravating bugs that will swiftly be patched. The last should be the tipping point. If you’re worried about spending the forty bucks, remember that it gets you not just a refreshed version, but amazing support and every patch and upgrade for a year, free of charge. Not a close call for me, and, as others have said, support the product. If you’re like most of us, if you divide the cost by the hours happily spent, you get a very, very small number. I calculate around ten cents an hour. That works for me.
