GG Carolina,

Not sure what got into my QB to throw 71 times, but it worked against your squad on the road. GG

You all ran 103 plays on offense and my team goes 3-11 on 3rd down. Not a good day on either side of the ball for us. Good rematch of the last two Super Bowls.

Good game PHI.

I really thought I was going to win that one...right up until the AI screwed me at the end.

Good luck the rest of the way.

Something really needs to be done to give us better gameplanning options. It really takes the fun out of it for me. I won't be renewing any of my teams past what I've already done, and may just abandon those. I'm tired of the lack of progress in making improvements, or at least better communication about what is being worked on. This could be a really great game.

Sorry to vent.

Thor,

Your game highlighted how broken the game is. There is absolutely no way that your team would have allowed that much time to run off the clock while they still had 2 timeouts. Not only that, but they would have never ran a running play deep in their own territory on their final drive. You may have still missed your FG, but you may have been a lot closer had your timeouts been used properly.

There is a lot to like about this game, but without the ability to identify where the development is heading, this game will always look like a football game instead of being a football game. I am at the point where I will need to decide if it is worth investing any further time in the game. I really like it, but the lack of statistical accuracy is getting quite old.

My main issue is with the way TO's are working now. I said it in the bug problems that i would rather have it back to where teams were going ape **** trying to score in the last 2 minutes then the way TO's are wasted or not even used now.

I regret that you are frustrated with my lack of communication or progress updates, and really do appreciate your patience as the game continues to develop. You'll never hear me argue that there is a lot that can be done to improve and I do have a huge list of tasks to tackle. Your input is very valuable to help identify which issues are the most pressing. I wish that I could pump out changes faster than I do, but I hope you know that you can count on my commitment to plug away at every issue if it takes the rest of my life to do so.

I'm not employed by EA Sports and don't have a slew of venture capitalists behind me, in fact this game is currently a labor of love as all revenue basically covers the expenses of running the systems. I've made it a point not to make a big deal about that, and this is the last time I will bring it up, and only to reference the slowness of the development - my reason for making this game is because there isn't one on the market that fulfils my desire for what it should be. And, again, I truly thank you all for your patience and input.

Now back to your regularly scheduled twelve that has been shelved as I delve into the helve of ... can't think of any more, sorry.
