New to FHM series til buying 7...have some questions

I have been a longtime OOTPBB customer and have extremely enjoyed how your designers make constant improvements to where it has become the best BB PC sim game on the market IMO. I love all the graphic improvements and that was what stimulated me to buy FHM7. With the addition of the 2D graphics for following the entire action up and down the rink has gotten me hooked on FHM7. Since I have owned all the versions of OOTPBB over the years I have seen its game graphics highly improve to where 3D has emerged in their game. I am wondering are there plans to make FHM7 or new versions in the future to eventually achieve graphical advancements like OOTPBB? OOTPBB started with 2D and "graduated" from player "widgets" to actual animated players in a simulated 3D view. I know jumping to 2D was a big improvement in FHM7 from FHM6 but I am curious what the eventual graphics goal is for FHM7 and any kind of time frame for that improvement to occur. OOTPBB made constant graphical improvements even throughout the year for its current versions to eventually achieving 3D in an actual short period of time!

The eventual goal is to have many more things modable with the 2D engine - the number one priority will be the players. If you're asking "when the 3D engine is coming" though...the answer is probably not soon. This was a big jump to get to this point, and we will continue to refine it.
