I can't say enough about the support Bill has given the game so far.

Thank you.

Well earned support, Josh. As one of the game's more vocal critics, I wouldn't still be playing it almost every night if I didn't love it. You guys did an amazing job. Simply the best "Franchise mode" ever created, text, graphical, or otherwise.

When I go to GameCrazy tonight to buy TW, I'm going to tell the manager that they should be handing out this forum address with every sports game they sell! We have EA with us!!

Thanks again, Josh & Co.

I have to say Josh, I love your answers and the way you think. WE really need depth in the franchise mode and you are right, if someone is staying up all night playing you did a good job. I am one of them. There is a massive amount of things to do in this game.Keep up the good work!

Great read, I just wish there was something I could do to make sure there is a HC 2010, could you imagine this game with one more year of development and Madden 09 Graphics? Seriously I may quit work and lock myself in a room for 6 months just playing the game.

I loved NFL 2K5 and I felt like I was punched in the gut when EA squashed it, if they do not bring this game back I will NEVER buy another EA game again period, and I truely mean it. I don't miss Madden at all, and after HC I could never go back to it. I may mis NCAA Football but I haven't played that since I got HC either.

EA needs to give this game a chance, I believe it will build a huge cult like following and through word of mouth and some actual advertising be THE game for adult sports gamers.

I would like this guys to create a baseball game as well.

This game is like crack for me. I can't tell you how many times I have gone to work the next morning feeling like crap because I stayed up way to late playing this game.

Re: Interview with Bill Abner on Gameshark.com

This Sunday my roommate (lovely wife) returns from a three week trip and I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm to season #7, I finally have an amazing staff and I can't stop.

This game and the support behind is such a surprise. I'm excited about next year, and a little sad that these awesome type of sim games seem to die out after a couple years. Josh, how about training an awesome apprentice before we lose you to bigger things?

It seems as if the sim franchise "ball" sat there on the cold EA floor and despite all the pleading no one was going to pick it up. So glad someone did. A huge thank you and congrats.
