The game is in feature lock but I'm sure I've read that on release you'll be able to move gameworlds this surely has to be tested for a few months prior to release. You could make some horrific miscalculations on the numbers moving and have massive knock on effects months later.
So release date is not much closer than it was a few months ago. The potential of the game remains though, it is fantastic if a little too addictive. Moving on NFA Premier League:-
As you can see the only other team to have played a quantity of games and have got close to 2 Pts Per game is Trumptonville. Ever more impressive is their eleven games unbeaten run in this league. In saying that a wage bill of £261k a day from a squad size of 17 and five players aged 31 or over it's make or break season for them. Unless they get extremely lucky with transfers then their going to need a few seasons to rebuild after this one.
Firefly are running with a bizarre 4-2-4 formation which I'm sure will catch a few teams out, it's a gamble and certainly gave us a scare despite winning 3-2.
Bliss play narrow and have a strong team but 17 points from 13 games is some way short of champion form. CUJimmy I'm sure will be a team fighting for a top three finish (3rd last season). Boaster are flirting with relegation unless their form improves.
The next two clubs must have title aspirations as they finished 2nd and 1st respectively. Dundee Rio have not started well but on paper they have one of the strongest squads and of course Rafalution's aging but star studded team will give a game to anyone.
The biggest surprise to me is AFC Plymouth as at all levels (Senior, U21, U19, U17) Calv's teams are hard to beat so I can't believe his early form will continue.
It's so early in this competition that really all we're seeing here is a current form chart and personally don't think the Jakswans have enough quality all over the pitch yet. It's a season too early at least to even think about titles. You don't win anything with kids everyone knows that!
I fancy we're still a little weak on the left or in the centre depending on your point of view.... I often question if Arda is worth his £33k a day some games just pass him by, however, he often chooses to turn it on when the competition is toughest. His tackling is not great for someone in the middle of the pitch yet I feel he's not really suited to out and out wing play either. I start thinking like this and then he produces game winning moments, as I said when most often when the opponent is at it's toughest.
In the close season we've got some major signings to secure and big players leaving the club. Sousa (substitue), Maltriz (captain, DC) and Casas (left back) will go. Thats £24k off the wage bill. I then plan to spend big on a DC and use kids in the left back position. The 'core' or the chosen five are Moya Goalie (26 ish), Daikte (22), Pablo (25), Arda (23), Tarik (22) and Wendall (21) all of whom are yet to hit their peak. Wendall is a free extend as he's been at club since 19. This is then nicely complimented with depth to the youths at the club, the U21's / U19's / U17's all have players in their squads that are unique to that squad and contain players that I think will make it.
Youth development is a part of the game I really enjoy. I think I'm not alone but I do have a thing for strikers and currently in a dilemma as to what to do with five U19 strikers (yes 5). Patrick is a big strong 19 year old with a bit of pace and awesome in the air. Macualey £33k a day is at this level amazing, Teheri has a little pace is not bad in the air but a really cultered footballer, Murillo 18 and doesn't really have the 'ohh la la' factor so he's under auction (despite being the best prospect), and Sene.
Everyone wants a striker that's 6ft 4, can run like the wind, finish, create, can pass, is powerful, and consistent. Sene I've had since 16 and occasionally puts in the sort of perfoamnce that wins games. The frequency of these games is now starting to morph from sometimes to often and for this reason he now starts up front. Potentially he is the complete striker. Time will tell.
