I have a couple of issues with some of the comments:

1. Bullcrap to the premise people only care about the company making the game instead of the game itself. Sure, some will blindly defend their game of choice, but that loyalty starts with the game.
2. There is NOTHING Elite is doing that is revolutionary. I'm sorry. As a matter of fact, they are taking a VERY simple approach to the game and mechanics. It remains to be seen how it goes.
3. I see a lot of leveraging of the NHL title. Too much. This is not the NHL team doing this game. It's not the Fifa team (a better team than NHL) fixing this game. Because they are on the same campus using the same tools does NOT make the games equal. By that logic, Live should have good five years ago. It's like saying every game should be good because they are all done in C++.

In no way am I saying the game won't be good. Not at all. I just have a problem with the methods folks are using to convince people it's true. Big props to them for acknowledging their mistakes. It's just sad that failure was the catalyst and not their fans. For the record, I don't like the fact that they decided to reset AFTER making so much progress with Live 10.
