Suggestion about the numbers: Could you use the European way of spreading out digits, i.e. starting from the right, you make a space after every three digits? It's so much easier to read "one hundred thousand" when it's 100 000 instead of 100000. Or 1 000 000 to be one million, and so on.
So in short, the (in my opinion deserved) criticism of this new version are based on two major issues:
1: Doing the same mistake as Windows 8: Forgetting the PC users when it comes to UI design.
2: Needless obfuscating of prices.
Of course, HHG will probably give a better response to this than Microsoft's "8.1" patch, so I'm optimistic that these things will be fixed. And if not... Well, it's a free internet game that gave me something to do when bored. I'm still happy they made the game at all.
Kyle5514: I'm reasonably certain it's the latter. Once you've earned a bunch of AIs and can start buying shops in the tens and hundreds, you'll easily be able to spot how things change as you buy more stuff.
I'm sorry, but this game just cannot compete with the best football simulator of all times: Soccer Physics. But don't feel too sad about it, no football game (including those yearly FIFA games EA churns out) could possibly beat that one.
