I know from our beta thread that a lot of the OS people who were in the beta were the ones commenting on those threads and helping show that they didn't need to be changed. OS was 100% heard during the beta.

Absolutely, and the past several weeks, Simfbcritic was pounding those same rocks on Twitter.

I swear, in beta, each time someone complained about the pass rush I was creating a counter reply. I was like, "How dare you come in here with that noise." lol

Going to be releasing less updates this year and they're going to make sure that their updates aren't breaking other things in the game before the drop them.


This should hopefully prevent another situation like the stumbling RB's from last year.

Only change I heard them mentioning is that some people complained that they were having trouble with "leading" the ball when passing. Clint said they tuned that.

I loved the passing in the Beta in that, when using the lead stick, I could throw the ball more easily to a spot, since the ball didn't seem as "tethered" to the receiver. I thought it was a major improvement and brought an increased level of skill and user control to the passing game. I am hoping they didn't over-tune this ability.

There were a lot of casual gamer's, then, because it was a big huge thread in the beta forums.

What?!?!? That is an awesome gameplay mechanic and I am really excited to use this

I got my beta code here and made that contract post that they mentioned in the stream that helped influence 5th year options and the contract things that they're looking into for the future. Cool to see the OS community making a difference in the game.

Well done! Can I get a link to your original post regarding the contracts?
