checked steam achievements, it seems game is easier now, than it was 5 years ago.
look at achievements of FM22 compared to10 year average
1. more users have long winning streaks, undefeated in 20 - 30 matches
2. it is easier to get overachiever medal or win manager of the month
on other hand, longevity achievements were down on FM22.
Based on that, SI made their game easier, but game is less "sticky". Players have shorter saves
But hey, they beat sales records every year...so no worries here
