    That is all they would have to come out and say. And as long as it didn't sound like some complete bs I would give them props for doing that. Who knows they might fix some of these things and then they would boost sells and also gain a lot of respect.

      Sounds like some folks assume they didn't know about these bugs/glitches. They discover most of this stuff. The just don't let it stop them from releasing their game "on time". I wish the gaming industry was regulated in a way that forced them to disclose known bugs since it's acceptable to knowingly sell broken games.

      As I've gotten older, these bugs/glitches bother me more and more. From what I'm reading, I would be very disappointed with this game. Glad I held out.

        I just do not understand. The franchise issues would've been spotted by the players on here within 15-20 minutes, and they'd have had a heads up. Now the multi-season modes are bungled and those of us who are on the fence are forced to wait things out.
        More like 3-4 months before release if you wanted . Games are final about 6-8 weeks before they hit shelves.

        Non-disclosure issues are a big reason why this kind of thing doesn't happen.

          The thing is - they did something similar with NFL2K1 on the Dreamcast, which was the first football game you could play on-line.

          They actually contacted people who sent in those little registration cards, and then sent out beta copies of the game (you could only play on-line) and has us play the game and then log into a website and give our comments.

          I still remember doing this. It was great. I actually started a thread on the DC board at UGO and started fielding questions about the game.

          I understand the non-disclosure issue, but if they were smart, they would send a demo out to OSers where you could only play and test franchise mode. It would be a great way to do testing on the in-depth workings of franchise mode.
