Jim is fantastic when it comes to the nuts and bolts of programming a football game. The FOF engine is pretty solid (although has some pretty big issues still), it is far superior to anyone else out there. However the PR side of things has always been a mess. A very old school "My way or the highway" type of attitude.
OOTP has never operated that way and is one of the things that has made the company as successful as it is.
Now were all eager for info because we've been waiting I think 4 years or so for the project to get off the ground. Will we be disappointed, sure but it won't be anything to be upset over we've waited this long whats another few months.
This isn't a knock on the graphics of FOF, but its not 2002 anymore the voice of the consumer is much more prevalent. Games need to have structure and plans. It is not good for business to do what FOF has done in the past in terms of how information gets released.

Wow.
I have re read this 3 times and have yet to see the point of this. I get what you are saying sure, because it's been said before. Said to the point where it need not be said anymore (IMO). Obviously Jim has recognized issues with the graphical display of previous iterations of FOF, and by teaming with OOTP has acknowledged as much.
But I don't feel this is the time not place to beat a dead horse. Most in this thread are clamoring for news about a game MANY of us are looking forward to... Obviously we shouldn't count you among that group.
