@Showoffrob - Thank you for providing the above.
To give some additional context, the changes we made for 24 were in direct response to the feedback we received from the UI on 23 and how difficult the title was to navigate. Based on this feedback we made changes to increase the size of buttons for navigation purposes as much as possible.
In terms of having a toggleable UI, due to the time that would need to be invested into making this possible it just wouldn't be possible in the time frame. Also, this would seriously impact the plans for the development of the UI as a whole as we'd be working with 2 different User Interfaces that could be impacting/creating bugs in 2 different ways, therefore making it harder to fix anything that may arise. However, when the game moves to FM25 we are bringing some significant changes to the Touch platform with Unity.
This said, what I do ask is that I capture all the information possible about the issues you are experiencing with the new overlay so that I can get it in front of the devs. Therefore, can I ask that you report all the good and bad you (and others reading this thread) are encountering with the UI in this thread with as much detail as possible? Even if you think it is a very minor issue, please don't be concerned by that. This will help us when it comes to working on the UI in the future.
Finally, I am continuing to collate all this feedback and ensuring this is getting to the dev teams.
