It's not bumping so YOU notice. I know you guys are looking in to the issue. I was bumping so it wouldn't end up on page 3 (or page 21 or whatever) and be lost in the wind.

Perhaps there are other people who have noticed this bug but haven't read this thread yet, and maybe they might have something to add to it. If it ends up on one of the back pages, those people may never see it. Besides, we have 30 owners in our online league who are interesting in seeing what (if any) action is going to be taken to correct it because it is SERIOUSLY effecting the financials (and competitive balance) of our online league. If you guys aren't going to fix the bug, then we need to implement our own changes manually, and we need to do so ASAP because our current season is just reaching the playoffs and we want a viable system ready for next season. Now, I get the impression we won't know what (if any) fix is going to be implemented, so instead of having an open line of communication, we will probably be forced to wait for a patch to be released.

You guys are being closed lipped about this anyway, like it is some top-secret project. Since our league has seasons of documentation to verify and check results, I'd think you'd actually be asking us (and others) some questions to help you get to a solution. But instead I guess you'd rather have a couple beta guys fast sim a solo league for a few years to test results. But how "realistic" are those results going to be? Are those results really testing the engine, or are they simply number crunching?

A few guys in our league, myself included, have spent many hours over the course of 8 months seeing the results of this, yet you haven't asked any of us one question about it. That's probably where the impatience stems from, Steve.

I could also tell you other problems with the financial engine, but I won't waste my time unless you are actually interested. It looks like OOTP'ers (in general) are more interested in seeing their managers sons getting drafted than they are in seeing a good financial engine anyway.

So maybe guys like us are a minority and should shut the hell up.
