I appreciate the reasoned and fairly detailed post, even if I'm still a bit bummed that mp might not make the initial release.

The fact we're getting a release at all is still kinda mind blowing to me because I thought FOF might've died with FOF8.

The one thing that stuck out to me, and I meant to say as much in the Online Leagues thread before it got locked, is that mp is generally a late add in most games. This is different from a back end architecture which will facilitate mp, but the actual implementation of mp in a game usually comes quite late because it requires a playable game first and only then can the net code or whatever be brought in.

With FOF moving to a day-to-day sim I can see how mp will come way far down on the list because the rest of the way the game acts needs to be firmed up before mp code is created.
