Russ, I agree that what you're doing is not an excuse, but the fact remains that something major has gone wrong the past couple of years with the game... And now this year we have bogus sliders & broken rosters that we still aren't sure about.. What is going on in Tiburon studios?..
I realize that you & Adam aren't the ones we should point the finger at all the time, but you are the only ones that post at OS.. its hard to accept that basic elements get essentially overlooked year after year, yet not have the actual people responsible come in here and explain.
I dont know, maybe more departments from the dev. team should create OS accounts so that you don't get this type of heat day in and day out.. It would probably improve the game as well.
As you said, I'm as frustrated with this as you are..
