Hey Cras, can you post your major problems with the game, as you see it at this point. I know endgame posted a poll about the number 1 issue that one would want to see fixed in the game. But I am more curious as to how others would rank a list of say 5 things that need to be fixed in order of importance.

I have had the game for a week, and have spent most of my time messing around with sims from a historical standpoint, but have only encountered a few issues that have bothered me. And most have been things that I think may be fixed easily/eventually. But I have not had the time until now to get into the game as far as playing/managing a game, so I have not seen the bad AI management of relievers in game. I have done some digging around in my simmed leagues to look for things like an overabundance of CEI or too many injuries in general, which has been an big topic of discussion around here. But the current set up of the game (as far as I can tell, if this info is kept per year/per team I hope some one can fill me in, otherwise I will wait for a utility) has made it difficlut for me to quantify this over any span of time while messing around with sims, as well as bad AI trades or FA signings. These seem to be a few of the complaints, but, I know, not all.
I know that performance issues and lag has definetely been a game killer for you. This is odd to me that something is causing such varied differneces in lag between different users, like I said before I had those same issues, but I followed all the advice from different threads, changed my skin to ootp blue, no simulation view, click to open windows etc. And my computer is pretty old.
And its odd because I was experiencing the same lag issues that you describe, when I would change the name of a League it would be at least 3 to 4 characters behind, and would totally mess me up. But I also tried offering contract extension to my soon to be free agents with almost no lag at all. But I forgot to test during the actual free agent period, so dammit, looks like I should try that next.
So if you can give an explanation of your top 5 or so that would be cool.
