Should I bother starting a save on FM 2012 or is it too broken?

My pet peeves with the game tend to be the simple scouting system, the documentation (or lack thereof), the vagueness of some instructions. And what has been said about the engine's defensive behavior, it's inability to simulate team behavior that acts as a unit. FM is also letting you choose both zonal and man-marking, despite it being pointed out by community members that FM's "Man marking" is merely a more rigid form of "zonal marking" - which is equally never or falsely documented by SI.

Thanks. You've just made my day! I couldn't agree with you more. My biggest disappointment came when I realized that all this (lack of documentation, vagueness of some instructions, ME inability to simulate team that acts as a unit, current implementation of zonal and man-marking...) is considered by developers (documentation, vagueness) and wwfan (tactics, ME) as positive and working as intended. This basically means that it will remain this way in the future releases as well.

Also as well as this "find players" wait I'm waiting 5 minutes to complete a simple team meeting. That's inexplicable.
