I'll challenge you to take over an NHL team, and just draft for it for 10 years. You'll see how the scouting is working, what the draft experience is like, and how the AI is handling players and your picks. It won't take long to see the type of core issues that I'm referring to firsthand, and keep me from playing.
While I am not anywhere near 10 years in (still in my first year), I will be sure to make note of what I see come up. If there's a particular list you want to me look at, please send me a private message, and I will. I'm not on the development side, but I still like knowing as much as I can.

Rather, we know what features/mechanics don't work as desired. And I just get a chuckle when you promote the game with nice stories about famous historical players, while I have played enough FHM2 to know that way too often these star players sit around at home in their living room for years because the AI has problems managing their rosters/players/signings.
I understand the frustration you must be feeling, but as I stated earlier, this has been a time of transition for the team.

I am not a developer, so I can't guarantee that all issues will be fixed, but I am listening, and reading. I will be bringing up community concerns with Jeff when I talk to him, to make sure he knows. If you have a list you would like to send, by all means please let me know (preferably by PM, but if you want to post here, I'm okay with that too).

This is a small team working on the game, and some things have priority over others. We may not be able to discuss every last detail on what's coming, but what we can, I will make sure we will. Please let it be known we appreciate that you care this much about the game and are working diligently to create a better playing experience for everyone.
