while we are the topic (slightly) of SI, I just wanted to say to Mark and all the SI guys:

when my beloved game announced it was being swallowed up by a soccer company

I was very disappointed. and the first release of v2006did not go very well I feared the worst.

However in the months that followed, Mark and Markus and all of the parties involved proved me very, very wrong. 2006(once patched) and especially 2007 proved to be the best OOTP ever for me personally and I think the merger with SI was a very good one - I was very adamant against it at the time and now years later I am sad to see the partnership end. I still believe Markus will make a great game - but I have done a complete 180 on my opinion on SI - great company, great guys - too bad I just can 't bring myself to like soccer. Now if you guys would just release an American Football game I would purchase that in a heartbeat.
