[Cardinal Rule]

How anyone can think this game is unplayable is beyond me. I've played this 'unplayable' game just about every day since it was released in April. And I still haven't played it enough yet.

I guess not everyone lives in the same world I do. People, it is what it is. Accept it or reject it, makes no difference to me. You have a set of choices, so make them. Play the game, stop playing the game. Buy the next version or don't. Take your ball and go home if you want. Bottom line is, each individual decides whether he can trade his money for some value here. That equation is different for each individual, just like the desire for specific enhancements differs for each individual. Some feel H2H is the key to why they want this game, while others are interested in the realism of the PBP, or the statistical accuracy, or the historical replay, or the career management, or the financial aspect, or on and on and on. What do you want out of this? Does it deliver? If not, well, you've already found the forum to ask for specific enhancements, so ask. But you really should understand, you don't always get what you ask for. Getting angry or insulting because you don't get your way is, to be blunt, rather childish. And oh by the way, it doesn't win you any points with anyone - you may get your way but you don't pick up any friends in doing so. It may be trite to say 'you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar', but that is one of the few truths I've found in this life.

So, make your choices, do what you feel you must, know that you alone must live with your choices. I for one am enjoying the ride - like Dan Theman said, isn't this the life?
