Have to say some of the comments here are getting farcical. Okay, promising 4-5 updates a week wasn't wise, I get that. But I wouldn't even want to hold Seb to that promise... it is a waste of time. One update a week--maybe two--is more than sufficient to let us know what is going on. And then there is the complaint that his last post was in January. Okay, technically true except that JeffR continued to post information that was obviously from Seb for a couple months after that. To me that feels like being intentionally obtuse in order to complain. That doesn't help....

So you paid $40 and aren't happy. I can see that and I am sure others can as well. I think the game needs work as well and too much was promised too soon. However, at the rate the complainers are going I think they will spread enough negativity about this game that it may impact sales and even whither and die. Then what will you have accomplished? Will your $40 be better spent then? Will you go back to playing an increasingly elderly EHM? Face it folks: FHM is the best thing in hockey managing in over half a decade. I want the game to be tip-top as well, but in today's market bugs, half finished features, and similar issues are common even with companies with MUCH larger resource pools to devote to resolving said issues. I'm grateful that OOTP, Seb, Jeff, and other peeps bhind the scenes are continuing to work on one of my favorite games and I'd like to be helpful and constructively critical. I would hope certain other people would want the same if only to get the full value of their small investment....

Sorry for the rant but I had to get that off my chest.
