Ahh just gone off on one in Beta at another crazy scheme to fix the economy cannot say what the details are obviously, but again I am at odds with what seems like much of the beta community and SI's ideas.
When I started this blog I felt a bit of a prat having a go after all this is SI, these guys are my heroes but I have come to the conclusion, as I have posted several times that SI are like ID games.
ID invented First Person Shooters and they are the most intelligent 3d engine game designers around. What FPS games dominate that market today? Halo, Call of Duty, Half Life variants, and how many of those games did ID software make? ZERO.
The reason for this is that as clever as ID are they just can not do the gameplay. Totally convinced that SI fall into this category, the FM franchise is legendary the database is wonderful, the match engine unparalleled and at their ability to create a football simulation they are untouchable.
The game though is user driven, they make the simulation the user creates the game in the provided simulation.
So to the title, who am I to criticise?
Top Football Simulations created by Jakswan = Zero
Top Football Simulations created by SI = Years and years of success
Top Football MMO's bolloxed up by Jakswan = Zero
Top Football MMO's bolloxed up by SI = One
So it is a draw! (tongue in cheek there)
I'm not saying I could design the game, what the heck does a online marketing geek know about games but I do feel quite qualified to have a pop.

Jak, completely agree, AGAIN. On top of all the other reasons, I'm so sick of these knee jerk reactions by SI. LET IT PLAY OUT!! Man, how much time did they spend on the changes pre-reset, only to back off now when some whining happens.
