I am very pleased to say that it feels like EA is listening and I too, appreciate the gifts and the impression I am left with this night that they do care about the players and the game. I'm glad I hung in there and followed all this today, it is an interesting process. I have seen so many of these apps fall prey to the current trend of grinding out the product, grabbing all the dollars they can and pumping out the next ( 60 second ) wonder.
Thank you EA for listening ( it feels like you are ) and taking your players complaints, concerns and criticisms to heart.
Have a good night.
