I like the new layout and feel that I can get used to it.
However, the "free money" needs to be brought back. That was an important part of the whole experience before the change and to completel eliminate it doesn't make me happy, and I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way. Not having it will certainly cut down on trading and the fun of the game. If you want to bring it back but at reduced values ($10,000 or $20,000 instead of $50,000) that would be great, just bring it back.
