Any thoughts that devs are going out of their way to REMOVE features from the game are quite frankly ridiculous.
I'm not a developer or programmer, but I know this process isn't as simple as a "copy pasting" MP from FOF 8 into FOF 9.
Once again, it was the same situation in the OOTPD hockey game which I worked on as a beta tester as well as head of PR and marketing ... The game was adapting the OOTP GUI for the release, so naturally everyone assumed it would automatically include MP as a simple transition over from OOTP (and I'll admit in theory this 'seems' like something that should be possible)
But it wasn't the case ... getting MP into FHM proved difficult and required extra work before it could be added. I honestly do not remember how long it took to add, or if it was part of the initial feature specs and then had to he scrapped ... but long story short it wasn't "taken away" or not added as some kind of vendetta against MP players. Rather, exactly the same situation I imagine we are experiencing here - it is proving more challenging than expected and thus they don't want to promise something until they know for sure when it will be in the game.
