The 2D top down view is the only graphical representation you can view - although obviously it is complemented with the text commentary and the standard statistical displays that were present in MVCM.
I'm not quite sure what you were hoping for with the graphics, Mack. At no point have we stated that our graphics would be similar to those in other games. To explain why our view is as it is - we've opted for a display that will actually add something to the management experience and help you make tactical decisions as opposed to giving you a view that doesn't really offer much more than a 'pretty' ouput of the match.
Hopefully you will change your mind once you experience the game in action, but if not remember that you can switch off or limit the amount of 2D highlights you view!
