Not to mention that the manager mode is really, really dry. I'm sure its a blast in multiplayer against an opponent who loves football though.

Multiplayer/Online and Clubs is the only reason I still play it. Although I do play Ultimate team sometimes too.

For offline, the Master League in PES blows away Manager Mode.

Is this game simular?

That cinches it for me.

I have enough positive feed back on this thread, to convince me I will love this game as with the others.

It seems alot of the problems are on much higher levels than I play on. Semi-Pro.

I think a lot of the negative feedback or frustration is more due to ongoing sore spots that appear year after year than an overall poor game. Things like easy tackling/pressure and a rather straightforward & shallow manager mode experience. There are some fabulous pieces in place, particularly with the controls/animations/etc, but they just can't put it all together for some.

Personally, I'm taking a FIFA break for now, but I've been playing the series a lot since FIFA08. I'm sure I'll pick it back up at some point... it's still a great multiplayer experience if you play with the right people.
