Exactly, and Steve said that the devs told him the problems he mentioned wouldn't be in the full game, so there's no need to write this game off as a failure already. There's still reason to hope. This was only a beta build and not the final game.

Whatever, this was the biggest issue I was concerned about an unless I hear differently I'm passing on this one. You if feel like buying it then feel free

thanks for your hard work, Steve. I'm extremely concerned about the CPU swinging at everything in or near the zone without sliders to compensate. Hopefully this gets addressed in the final retail build, but I'm not overly optimistic. It doesn't really seem like they were aiming too hard for a 100% sim-type atmosphere with this release. Oh well.

Yeah and last year 2k told us the game ran at 60fps. If you believe that everything will be fixed then purchase the game. I'm just stating that I will pass unless I hear differently from the devs or from others that have reviewed the game.

Excellent review, man.. very thorough.. I'll be getting it for PC regardless of issues. I just wanna play it myself. Hopefully, some of the more serious issues you've seen have been ironed out in the final version of the game.

Well, for one thing, last year we had a completely different developer too......So I don't even compare this year to what the developers promised/did last year.

But yes, I agree it would be nice to know whether or not this will be fixed for sure.

It would definitely be great to know what specific issues they said wouldn't be in the final game...

Do you believe that all developers never lie ?
