The interaction users had with the devs under Rex was unpresidented and the access we had with them was probably more than the accessibility with devs of all the sports titles combined.
And if we where to be honest, no other sports dev team ever gave the end user such granular access to the inner workings of how their game works like Rex/Clint have.
Again,it’s not an excuse, but football is a different beast than the other games.
