It's funny, this is the first year in about 4 I'm not sure about the UI changes. I usually love the light touches so much I'd buy the game for that, but this one I occasionally find hard on the eyes after extended stretches. I reserve my impressions there as I do appreciate the team has always put effort into improving it (and it's nice to hear that was a parting effort).
The game as a whole feels better out the gate than the last few years. The game is so complex it's just impossible to catch it all and the first couple of updates showed that, but perhaps not much was changed that wasn't broken so it feels like more of a continuity.
I've said somewhere else, but even if it's mostly presentation (what else would it be necessarily) I really enjoy the Draft. It just feels more significant as arguably one of the most important things you do every season. Same with the improvements to the Lab, which are small but help clarify it's purpose. I was surprised to see the option to really have it more signficant in outcome if that was your thing.
The Road to the Pennant never felt right for me, but I don't think it's for me, it's for so many of the new players learning the game. That said, adding historical seasons is both an obvious move and one that will get me to try it again.
The next few weeks will always be a shake out but I thank and applaud the team regardless. It's very fun and the best sign of spring before opening day.
