It took me a minute - and, I do think that this years model, out of the box, may have been a bit undercooked - but, I've come around to this version and quite enjoy it.
I'd even echo this bit from PSUColonel...

When I think about the legacy game, I like what they've done here, under the hood. The changes, at times, do feel incremental - but, worth it for me. Putting PT critiques and disappointment over the international league's exclusion aside, the changes in this version, on the most recent patch, seem to be functioning properly and my enjoyment of this franchise remains high - I.E. I'm getting a good return on my investment. It's always a bummer to hear that others do not share my opinion.
But that's how it goes in matters of preference. I like what redranger said here:

I don’t want to discount anyone’s displeasure, but not quite sure what the expectation is?

What is the expectation of the boo birds? My expectation is fun. Not perfection. Just fun, a few laughs, some light-hearted disappointment when my 100-win club gets bounced out of the playoffs, and a development engine capable of some modicum of 'realism'.
Check, check, check, and, umm, check.
