All years aren't as bumpy, but this is the reality of how this game and many others like it, are produced. This isn't EA Sports, and it is still a professionally made simulation, regardless. A niche no one else is filling as well, that is for sure.
If you find yourself saying things like this has ruined my experience or i can't play this... stop buying the game in the early part of the process. LoL, anyone responsible OotP sales and marketing just **** their pants about that last statement. But, either roll with it, or if small bumps cause catastrophe for your creations, wait... play last year's for a while longer. Pick up the game when you see the fog clear in forums about issues. This is a year it may go into june for that personality type. After 1 year it'll be the same amount of time on each version, again... just slightly shifted.
and anyone working for ootp, better put on that thick skin, cause the end of the world is coming and it is your fault in some eyes! lol. if every year it took until july to hammer things out, maybe parts of a comment above are right, but they seem to balance responsibility of each game's development very well.

There's always going to be something for us to bitch about. The bar is set real high because of how far this game has come the past 20 years. If it takes longer to get things more level, I'll either just play other games or use last year's version to be satisfied. I'm glad the developers are active here and listening....I used to buy The Show for my baseball fix, but at some point they stopped caring about Franchise mode despite terrible bugs. You'd just get crickets. Here, I have the peace of mind knowing things will get addressed as best as possible.
Sometimes I can be a bit of a perfectionist and expect the sim to do everything correctly based on my terms, but that's just not how life works, you know? This game is still damn good, even with the call-up issues we're talking about.
