Here's my biggest negative:
No published or adhered to field or FMS requirements. I made a post near the beginning of February about this:

My post above is with respect to hot goal timing. Given that there are no requirements, it's no surprise that hot goal timing was an issue all year.
Without hard requirements, there is nothing to test against. With nothing to test against, you can expect that your end product will not work as your customers expect. If hard requirement were published for the field (hot goal timing in particular) it would have been clear to Manchester that the field was not meeting the expectations of the competing teams.
Furthermore, how are we supposed to develop a control strategy to play the game without us having the field requirements?
