I've found that some parts of the game are slower - the worst is the player
search screen where the screen freezes for a minute and makes me thing the
game has crashed.

Your media comments are supposed to effect the type of player that will come
to your squad, it also boosts or drops your players moral before a game
(though they do seem to have removed the comment from your assistant who
said in the demo if your players were happy or disapointed with your
comments, though some of the media comments do seem random, in my Spurs the
press asked what are the chances of me keeping a star youngster, I said he
has a contract with us and I hope he will honour, the player was happy with
this comment, but a few weeks later I was asked the same thing and responded
with the same answer, but this time he was unhappy saying I was hurting his
chances of playing for a big club.

🙁
Did they score on the counter? it sounds like all your players are attacking
and they break quickly and you end up with no players back. I find playing a
defensive style seems to work better, though sometimes it does seem random -
beat Portsmouth in the League 4-1, played them in the Cup next and lost 4-1
with same tactics and players.

Tell your players not to take long shots, it seems to work in this version
(though sometimes too well). Judging height on the 2D screen does involve
much guess work, though we'll find out next year how good CM5's tilted view
is.
