I agree 100% the game is not perfect. It is never my intention to suggest to anyone that it is. I have made hundreds of suggestions, to BA over the last 6 months, some have been implemented some are still to come and some won't. The one thing that gets to me us how others berate the game, the developers and the process constantly, perhaps because of past dealings or whatever.
How can anyone suggest it is still the same, the process will be abandoned or that Big Ant do not listen to feedback? These are the things I defend. Yeah sure I am part of the beta and i have received free games but as part of the beta, I have seen the work behind the scenes. Ashes Cricket has been an on going process for almost a year (since beta started) and still getting patches. AOIT is the most patched game, according to Ross in history and will be supported for free, up to and perhaps beyond, to the AO next year.
They are listening to feedback every week and trying. If this makes me a fan boy, so be it. Maybe I am, and proudly so.
