Thank you for your support.

I don't really think this is a suggestion. For one thing, that footnote in the team history pages is just wrong - none of that is here, and so long as the note is there then the game has a glaring error in it. Either take it out or fix the display so that it's not wrong. This whole forum is about fixing errors. Well, here's an error. Fix it (or at least tell me that it's been logged and will be fixed down the road).

For another, it shouldn't be a "suggestion" that maybe we don't want to wait a year for usable defensive stats. As they are right now, they're not usable. It's a major flaw in the game, and it seems a whole lot more important than all these worries about the frequency with which the game is using some names when you use different countries of origin, or whether people can get their color choices refined just so. The heart of the attraction of OOTP has always been its rich statistical interface. 1/3 of that is currently crap. Seems like more than a suggestion.

I'd be thrilled with an entire universe of players named Nambrillo McWhaWha and Toots Baconfat if it meant the programmers had spent that time ensuring that the defensive stats were displayed properly.
