What about ratings don't matter,morphing,clipping, and dumb AI were going to see in the final game, should they fix that to?

Or how about not creating a monopoly, so that other companies can compete and give us choices. What does any of that have to do with clicking fingers, or heels or twitches noses, or blinking eyes? The game is not anywhere near were it should be.

THat would make sense if we were still playing on the PS2. They had to rewrite everything to make the transition to next gen.

I haven't read this thread through (yet), but I wanted to let you guys know that offline franchise gamers are definitely NOT forgotten. The numbers of people still playing franchise mode are still HUGE...and we want to keep working on this mode. It was a back to basics approach for us this year - streamlining the interface, fixing a lot of old (and broken) stuff, adding the Extra Point (aka 'recap show') framework, etc. We haven't forgotten about it - we're still all over it. Remember, Josh and Donny are our guys - they made the ultimate offline dynasty game in NFL Head Coach 09.

Ratings don't matter? Of course they matter... there are discernable differences between each player.

Morphing? Clipping? Let's have EA fix something that has never been solved? BB has morphing and clipping...

and DUMB AI in the final game? Thank you nostradamus.

True, but with the beta for the 6th iteration to release in less than 8 weeks, how many years do they need?
