Operation Sports Forums - View Single Post - EA Conference Call With Sean Bailey, Lead Designer

I can understand not being able to make the game straight sim. However, that's what sliders are for, and EA has struggled in the worse way to get sliders to work as they should.

No one would have a problem with taking the time to adjust sliders in the game but, soo many issues with their football games are 'hard coded' and can't be corrected with simple slider adjustments.

People can say every year that it's not these Devs 'call' how sim the final product is, and that's fine. However, having sliders in the game that do not do what they suppose to falls directly on the Dev's shoulders.

Every year there are waaay too many sliders in their football game's that have absolutely no effect on the in-game results IMO.

And I cannot see how 'the suits' can be blamed for that.
