Match highlights

I'm slightly concerned about the start of the game. Whereas in FM09 I recall it was down to the user to select "play" to begin the game - now it seems to start automatically. Therefore, from leaving the pre-match screen, we enter the field of play and suddenly the match clock is about 08:14 minutes. I generally like to spend the first five minutes making sure everything is going to plan, but this is not currently happening with this set-up. Frustrating!
