Dude I hate the fact we don't get progresive lighting either but he's told the reason 2 or 3 times now. Basically it comes down to the fact that they used a different method of lighting this year and they didn't have time to re-do all of the lighting for each place to have the progressive aspect.

Sorry if you think i'm being kinda blunt but IMO let's try not to make Adam re-answer the same stuff again and again as we want him to spend his time giving us new information.

One question.
When we send a man in motion we cannot reverse it until he gets all the way to the side we're motioning too. Can this change to where we can reverse the motion at any point in his movement?

Thanks,

I think he's more asking why they decided on the new lighting system in favor of the old one with progressive lighting.

It seems like I wasn't the only one around here that was sad to see it out of the game this year.

Haha some call 'em mustard colored, some call 'em gold

But thanks for answering my question man. Great work

Ok, well maybe I misunderstood but hopefully my post was for naught and Adam won't read it the same way I did.

I think the gameplay videos we've seen answers that question why though, the lighting looks about 50x better.

good question, but imo, I love the new lighting system more than the old one. It does stink that we are without progressive lighting for the year(please be back next year), but if & when it does return, I think that progressive lighting will be a lot better than we've seen before.

Just my .02

And I hope that post made sense. Due to OS being down for a little bit, I started doing weekend yard work and one led to another.
