What's the timeline usually for the first update to the beta? Is it usually just the release date of the game or could there be an update before that?

I'm not posting any bug reports this year. Also my game crashed soon after this. 

That's fine, but the issues you're moaning about won't get fixed if they aren't reported in the correct place with necessary evidence.

I haven't yet managed a single competitive match on this newest iteration but will still comment a little bit about the match engine:

As I requested there now seem to be more of those long range through balls from the more creative players and for example my DLP is putting in some beauties and by that creating good breaks as I wish tactically. Much better and I hope that this 'feature' is here to stay as for me the term 'creativity' or 'vision' has been almost completely missing from the game. 

Sadly though the defending seems to be quite a bit the same based on highlights. Centre backs still do not aggressively step out of the defensive line to close down the striker and this at times makes the support role with a striker too dominating. Also what I see a lot with defenders (still) is full backs totally falling asleep in slow build-ups which allows the winger or overlapping full back to escape and the other full back falling asleep at far post and this leads to both lots of free crosses and easy tap ins from the far post. The defenders in general should be more of experts inside the penalty area and dominating especially against the wide attacking players but that doesn't seem to be the case.

In terms of midfield the lack of pressure on the ball carrier especially with more than one player again seems to lead to the fact that the playmakers are seeing far too much of the ball. Again cannot stress enough that SI most definitely should make strikers defend instead of letting them loaf around and by that also nullifying lot of the CB roles as they cannot take part to the build ups. I simply do not understand why they do not consider doing this and see how it goes. 

The midfield and the penalty area simply require more aggression and better marking and by that the effectivity of slow tempo approaches would drop.

This is a really good example of what annoys me. In the SC one you can clearly notice that Lemos is in ideal position to deal with this but what he does after the cross comes in is that he starts walking wrong direction while the striker (who isn't a good penalty area player) makes really active movement to connect with the ball and scores with ease. Both the goalkeeper and Lemos are really poor in this example and both of them should be clearly better penalty area players than the striker Berisha. This is even more common with full backs who especially on FM 2017 regularly just walked away from the ball at far post to allow easy goals for wide players. 

You should raise this with the .pkm in the bugs forum if you want it to be looked at.

how do I get tactic screen to look like this (seen in another thread)? I can only expand or reduce the right part (i.e. the pitch) to make it very big or very small, but for my life can't have two equal halves...

 

Use the 'Pin' button on the top right hand corner of the green pitch.

Not sure if a bug so I'll stick it in here. On previous FM's I've been able to load 50k players without any problems, on a 5 star game speed. This year, despite having 16GB RAM and an I7 6th gen processor, my game speed is fairly low (2 stars for about 40k players). Is this correct or is the game just reading it wrong? Dxdiag attached.
