Posted this in a message on the general forum but it fits better here.
I just downloaded the game last night and have to say I'm pretty disappointed with it.
I had a year where my team went into the hole and automatically released players, which would be fine if it didn't screw up and start the next season as if it was a continuation of the one just completed, and on top of that retire half the players that were cut even though they were young and coming off great years.
I had another year where I clicked draft player prior to the draft starting, this pretty much canceled the draft because it went straight to the season with nobody being drafted at all.
I hate free agency or teams losing players for stupid reasons (cap space or they can't afford them) since I prefer dynasties I turn those variables off for the most part...anyway I created my own quarterback and made him a outstanding one. But immediately after the season he goes from outstanding to garbage.
I hate it when baseball mogul does this as well, but even it isn't this severe. If I want to have a team loaded with extremely great players that is my choice, I do not want the game downgrading them to the point they are worthless the next year. You might as well throw out the editor if its going to do that.
I also have a problem with the fact that it seems really stripped down when compared to baseball mogul. Awards aren't shown at all, or at least aren't easy to get to (I'm sure there is a output file somewhere) The hall of fame doesn't have the current players or recently retired sure things in it like Sanders, Montana, Elway and Marino.
Frankly this game feels incomplete and buggy as all get out, and while there are parts that I do like there is plenty that makes me regret the purchase as well.
