Couple of issues with MP at the moment; some of this may be my own inability to find the correct option toggles, so please help me out if that's what's happening here.
Major:
+ Cannot increase total player count independent of map size (although you can freely adjust city state quantity, strangely).
+ Cannot select many of the SP map scripts (terra and earth, for example, are strangely absent from the MP drop-down despite existing in SP).
+ AIs auto-revealed on turn 0 (unlike SP, MP has a special, unhideable scorelist that tells you the identities of all the AI in the game, even if you haven't met them; this also makes it hard to keep track of whom you have and haven't met).
Minor:
+ No "show animations" toggle.
+ No "show AI leaderheads" toggle.
+ Cannot click names in the aforementioned score list to initiate diplomacy.
I'm hoping that a few of these issues are possibly resolvable outside of a patch or mod (i.e., that I simply haven't found the relevant toggle or option), so if anyone can help that'd be great. Otherwise, it's still a little too soon to judge the overall game.

. Though I agree that right now it´s tough to know what is going on in combat, but that has less to do with no-animations and more with the general mechanics of civ5, namely 1upt and especially ranged combat.
