so at this point i'm basically giving up on this game
i'm gonna list the reasons as much for your own benefit as to vent.
the positional talent distributions are laughable. positions like punter and running back that are flooded irl are scarce here.
control over the team is illusory. i've done everything i can to tell it to feed my stud running back and instead i watch it routinely hand off to lesser talents who aren't even on my rb depth chart
investing in defense is idiotic the way the game stands now. i drafted CB heavily but still get routinely passed on by mediocre or below quarterbacks. it's even worse for defensive line, they're ******* useless.
you can watch the defensive line push the OL back into the qb play after play and it doesn't matter. mediocre qbs can complete throws after being hit or with tacklers hanging on. this almost never happens irl
the initial draft moves way too swiftly and no one with a life can keep up with it appropriately. it's way to important to be such a quick and dirty affair
possible i've just had a run of bad luck, but it seems like the injury frequency is too high. i basically have 3 or 4 multi-week injuries each and every game. no real team could keep up with that level of attrition
i would be willing to just come back to the game after a while once you've fixed all this stuff, but the way you kinda threw out as an afterthought "oh this isn't even 1.0 yet we're still working on it" is real shoddy.
you shouldn't be advertising on podcasts and asking for payment from people when your product isn't even close to presentable yet. if you'd been more up front/realistic about how far off this was from a finished product i'd have stuck it out or returned at a later date, but now i'm just writing it off more or less
