So there is a lot of activity on the beta forums of a game that has gone gold, on the day the game is supposed to be released. That is certainly an encouraging sign.

I just commented on that in the MF forum (before I read your post).

We could take this game, combine it with courside challenge basketball, and have the ultimate vaporware sim game. Courtside Football.

I saw three new pages to this thread since I last checked here, and thought the game was released.

May have been the stupidest thought I've ever had.

Can you see if this game is delayed a little? A tester posting that there was a lot of activity today on the testers forum... Does this mean good or bad?

I am ready for the first big issue(s) (I believe there will be more than one with the game...seeing how it is playing out and how Winter reacts to criticism.) and see how Matrix and D. Winter handle the masses and their complaints.

Should make for an entertaining week.

Ya know...I had to actually pause and really think about this for a second. Only then did I decide it is a joke. I think. Maybe.

Gentlemen,

Those of you who need sleep or have jobs in the morning, I would suggest that you go to bed and check in the morning for more info. We will post something official on the timing in the forum later tonight, sorry I don't have more specific info at the moment. Keep cool until the official post please.

Regards,

- Erik

The game also allows complete customization of players and teams, as well as a deep play creation system.

2. Vaporware

Will somebody tell them to change the box art to a *.png file. So it won't take so long to upload to the digital river server.

I actually feel bad for Matrix in all of this. It appears that they're ending up with some degree of proverbial egg on their face as a result of this, which could well serve to drive away future sales of other games.

True story:

When it was first announced, if you had set aside the money to purchase this game in an interest-garnering account... you would own Microsoft.
