    There will always be bugs. It’s the nature of a complex simulation with emergent gameplay.

    But anyone telling you that they’re increasing doesn’t know what they’re talking about. They’re increasingly small edge cases as the simulation gets very obviously more advanced and complex every iteration. It’s not minor and it’s not subtle. If you play ten hours a year with a middle school football level of understanding the improvements are impossible to miss.

      I can’t speak for every reviewer, but a good number of them do watch football every week. Plenty of games have advanced simulations and don’t have texture bugs and T posing. I’m glad you enjoy the games, but the reviews are what they are for a reason. I’m also not sure how you went from, “Anyone saying these games are buggy is lying” to “Of course it will have bugs!”

        The reviews are what they are because there are literally zero gaming outlets who respect the existence of sports games or cover them the way they cover anything else.

        I play hundreds of games a year and have literally never once seen a player t pose on the field. It’s not a thing that’s a normal or frequent occurrence, and anyone who tells you it is isn’t just incompetent. They’re deliberately and maliciously lying to you, and in and of itself it’s incontrovertible proof that their entire review is fraud.
