Started FIFA 12 career... what the hell happened?

Menus are smooth and responsive
Transfers are done/fail quickly without silly cutscenes
Tactics are more advanced than currently
Players have traits so playstyles are nothing new
Players have more realistic OVR rating and stats, everybody is too high in 25
No training nonsense
No roles
Everything is quick - if you skip preseason you can play 1st match in 10 minutes
Soundtrack, oh boy what a decline
Gameplay is a bit rough and much faster but also feels more fair

And most importantly it's way more fun. I can't play 25 career mode since everything is a chore. Booting up an older FIFA proved me that it's not just nostalgia, EA actually ruined a good game
