Doom and Gloom

It's all a bit doom and gloom on the forums currently. A lot of Match Engine complaints some justified some not, I think the Match Engine is dam fine and WAY better than any other used in any game. Nothing is perfect though and 'super keepered' seems to be in the term of the moment.

There are a lot of complaints about GW activity, SI managed to keep these quiet during May / June as they were announcing something 'soon'. The announcement came in the form of free trials, that kept the mob at bay for a few weeks. I think there is a slow realisation that in fact trials are not going to do much so the posts are getting angry again now.

Some are a bit over the top and fairness SI / Sega have said this is top priority and they have plenty of ideas just nothing concrete yet. Taking my fanboy hat off this has been an issue since beta for at least a year. With the best will in the world having a few good ideas but nothing concrete is that good enough?

I'm quite happy with the game though I've said before that it isn't quite what I would say is perfect, and sometimes feel a bit frustrated as it could be stunning but I enjoy playing it so it offers value at the end of the day.

The Teams Update
St John - By rights we should be fighting relegation in the Casual Premiership but have thus far won enough times to suggest we could do mid table. Too early to have any sense of security about it at the moment though. Six weeks the bulk of the stadium is done and we can look at adding to the squad.

Beta - Division 1.1 saw us add another title and were rampant at one stage. Reo Coker was a major close season signing and has taken us up another level, inflation remains high in this Gameworld. Been in the top 10 for a while now.

Shearer - Slight upturn in form with Falcoa being devastating in FA games, money piles up quickly but wages at £220k so I need a HUGE name really to improve this squad so might just use the £3m I'll have by seasons end. Do have to consider Holiday in August so might just wait till I come back.
