Its easy to come on here and say, just change your gameplan, adapt, ita more realistic or whatever but when you have invested 7 seasons worth of time into a francise, honed in your player weights and realized under 4.3 you needed 2 +90 WRs on the outside to score plus on defense 2 +90 CBs on the outside to match up against your opponent. Then you hit free agency, the draft or the trade market and spend bigtime to acquire those players over the coarse of several seasons.
Then 4.4 comes out and in an instant those WRs become almost irrelevant meaning any idiot CB could cover them. Im talking beast WRs that put up multiple +1000 yard seasons with double digit TD catches reduced to 28 catches and 250 yards in 4.4
So then you adjust, figure it out and the passing game goes through the RB and TE so on defense the MLB becomes key but his player weights are radically different. So my MLB who I thought was good.....isnt so I go into the next offseason looking for quality TEs and pass catching RBs and I have to change my linebacking corps to reflect the change in version.
Now 4.5 comes out and I have to adjust again what positions are important and what weights are best for each position.
Its too much change, too soon for a football sim that should last for many seasons. Owners have played over 15 seasons in some leagues but at no time should 3 different versions span the time to play 3 seasons. Use Beta to get out the bugs so we dont dind ourselves in this mess again. No matter what any of you think, we have lost owners due to 4.4 and 4.5 and nobody wants that. This game needs owners to survive
