False equivalency. Getting core details right does not mean a less stable product. It simply means getting core details right. Indeed, without proper consideration given to how new features will impact existing features (i.e. postponed games and how split-season leagues interact with them) instability will be
increased, not decreased.
The split-season format has been a part of OOTP for at least NINE versions of the game now, possibly ten (it was introduced in either OOTP 2007 or OOTP 2006). And throughout all those nine-plus versions there have been NO improvements made to it. None. More than enough versions for small, gradual improvements to have been made in each version, but nothing has been done. Rather like associations, it's a half- or even quarter-implemented feature that has been left to wither on the vine. And many, including you it seems, are content with half- or quarter-implemented features that are many versions old being left to wither on the vine as long as they aren't something you're interested in.
Apparently it's a radical proposition to advocate for
already implemented features to actually get gradually improved from one version to the next.
It would seem if a feature doesn't happen to fit your particular narrow little wish list you're happy to dump all over it. Tell you what, I won't crap all over the features you want to see improved from one OOTP version to the next if you don't crap all over mine.
