Wow!! Read much?
Being condescending straight off the bat is no way to communicate to someone. And for the record, I do read, a lot.
You were comparing another app game to this one, so yes, by talking up that feature somewhere else, you were talking about something BB obviously lacks.
The game has had this viewer forever and I don't see it as the problem. Getting the GE to balance tactics in alignment with salary balance and such, I'm 100% on board with seeing changes. (I don't think the current system or the proposed changes hits the mark)
The game needing "animation" or it's dead is your opinion, and I don't share it. Plus a while ago (3-5 real years) I read that the engine doesn't see the game in the same way we would watch basketball. IE... the first few seconds is bringing the ball upcourt past the midcourt line, then passing it around running the offense until a shot is put up. So an "animated" view of a BB game with the current GE is not going to happen. Maybe a BB/GM can validate that point. (I may very well be wrong)
