  1. I've been playing each edition of TEW and found 2016 a very fun edition and it probably got the most play out of me. I haven't played TEW in a few years now and was actually quite excited to get back to it with the 2020 edition, but I feel the current game has pushed me away from the series for good. I was hoping for a serious improvement in UI which has always been a big weakness in all of Adam's games. Unfortunately, I think this game is the worst by far when it comes to UI and unfortunately it looks extremely dated and quite frankly quite amateurish. Moving between screens is cumbersome and there doesn't appear to be any keyboard hotkeys and it's missing way too many ease of use features. Also, being limited to a fixed size (albeit now a slightly larger) window is totally unacceptable to me. I can't think of any other game from recent years that has this limitation. I know this is a technical limitation for the language Adam uses to code the game, but this doesn't make it any less of an issue. If one compares TEW20 to other sports management sims when it comes to look and feel, it seriously pales in comparison to the likes of Out Of the Park Baseball, Motorsport Manager or Franchise Hockey Manager. TEW looks like a big old Excel workbook and not even a particularly nicely laid out one. While maybe 5-10 years ago I was willing to look past this, I'm not anymore. It's a real shame that what probably at it's core is a good game will not get the chance from me that I hope it would've.
