I agree but like i said before i dont think Markus goes by what the competition does as much as he takes the feedback from us.
Of course if we play some other game and mention the feature the competition has helped but i dont think Markus or Shaun put in something just because the other one has it.
But you are right in that they may take something from another game and put it in if it works and the customers want it.
I dont think theres anything bad about freindly competition but i also think that we as ootp customers give Markus enough ideas for Markus to work on every year as i am sure Shaun's cusotmers do too.
I think that is where a game can improve the most by its realtionship with its customers.
If you dont listen to the customers then sooner or later the game wont be around.
Unless of course you are EA and can put out a crappy product with or without competition.
