The point was that he was right and you were wrong.  The new engine and its rollout have been a failure and led to another exodus of coaches and he warned about it.

Any change would have had some people leaving because they wanted only very specific changes and wouldn't have accepted anything but exactly what they wanted.

I will disagree with some of your post.  While I agree that some coaches have left because of the new rollout, I'm not sure what would have kept them.  I'm down to 2 teams but I am enjoying the game more now than I had in a while.  I love the new recruits.  I love that not all players will be 90+ in all categories.  The new engine (and recruit generator) still have some flaws but they are being worked out.  I do hate that we have been testing the system without compensation but I've learned to live with it.

Yes any change would have had SOME people leaving, but this change has a huge number of people leaving or at least cutting back.

Couldn't also have anything to do with people cutting back due to, say, money issues given the current economic problems and blaming it on the engine change?

Then why wasn't there a mass of leaving coaches a year ago?

But isn't it ironic that this is starting to happen right after the new release? There certainly is a correlation there, even if it is subconscious. I think the argument can easily be made that the game isn't as good as it used to be. Still not sold on seble....

I think the argument can be made that hte game is just as good if not better than it used to be.

To me, it's virtually the same, but the recruits are worse, thus advantage OLD SIM.

I'm sorry but I completely disagree with your last statement.  Are recruit ratings lower than before?  Yes.  But, that is the whole point.  Before we had 20-30 teams in DI where every player was 90+ in every category.  That was just stupid.  Now, the recruits are varied and you have to pick and choose who to go after and what attributes are most important.  Once all of the "old" recruits are gone, the game will be much better.  Are there still tweaks that could help the new recruits, of course.  But to say that the recruits are worse is a false statement.  The game was boring when every team had virtually the same player at every position.

I think there could have have been much more done to improve the game itself overall.

The new engine was needed, but there were more things needed to be done to keep me, and they werent done. I am not going to get into specifics.

I think the new engine will be decent in the future, but I just feel like more can and should be done to improve the experience of the game as a whole.
