You know, looking back at the original post of this thread, we're pretty much at the point where jersey physics and style templates (probably the 2 most difficult things on the list) are the only things left to improve.
Colors have been fixed, the limited number of slots has been reworked for the better (if not fixed completely), number placement and logos have been adjusted (for the most part), and Style Guide issues seem to have all but vanished. And all over the course of only 2 iterations of The Show.
Now I'm definitely not one to say we should pat ourselves on the back or anything, but I am inclined to believe this thread and all our detailed feedback has actually had an effect, be it big or small, on this game for the better and it's just a nice feeling to know that we are actually being heard and that the developers seem to care about this stuff as much as we do.
