Maybe he was handcuffed by EA, and I do give him credit for making SOME progress with the game and interacting with us, but the game didnt improve all that much under him as people act like it did. The game was riddled with issues every year under him, although it wasnt all his fault.

It did become more towards sim with Phil and him, but there were still features broken.

Haha, problem is, EA was excellent at making Baseball, 2K was excellent at making Football.

They have the wrong exclusive licenses.

Yah. I have to say the team has really taken a step back as far as communication goes. I wish things were just a little more transparent. And if they can't be, I wish the title updates were a little more timely.

I wonder what the timeline for updates was last year? I think by this time, we had already had the 2nd patch plus the Breast Cancer Awareness DLC? IDK...

I was complaining for a decade about lack of presentation, and Ian last year was the first one to really start bringing it in that regard. Will always appreciate his efforts because of that.

Keep in mind the game was out earlier last year, so the patch came earlier was well.

This year initial release was delayed by the union dispute.

I'm guessing an announcement the end of this week, followed by another ~2 weeks till actual release for 3 weeks total. And patch notes the same day as actual release.
