If you are waiting on a long list of *new* features for a yearly game that has been produced for the past 25 years, I don't know what to tell you. This isn't a console game.

To me, the game is worth buying every year. I say that knowing the game gets one or two key new features/updates every cycle along with several smaller, less obvious tweaks. But the new features/updates improve the overall quality of the product. This year, the Dev Lab and the Player Ratings Updates/Overhaul are significant changes/additions. Anything added to those will be the cherry on top.
