Haven't got to FM7 yet but going from all those events in FM4 to FM6's 1 race showcases + Stories of Motorsport (Aka repeat the exact same 4/5/6 races 6 times for 100% completion then do it 17 more times) was insulting when I first realised that's how it was.
Yep the 'careers' in FM have been an incredible grind since FM4 (only 0.45% of players completed the career achievement). Quantity over quality, it's just a collection of quick races, copy and pasted which took them five minutes to do, but will take you hundreds of hours to grind through. No thanks. I doubt FM8 will be any different, regardless of what li.... erm, promises they make beforehand.
