Yes I agree the game needs some updates to fix certain issues but sadly BA will most likely not add or fix thing in management mode (as it’s a complete mode). The only updates we will most likely get are list updates and ProTeam updates (whenever it does launch)
Happy 4 week anniversary everyone!
@JNT_BA are we any closer?

make it 6 weeks since they “submitted” the update to platform holders

Clearly Xbox knows this game is a mess and won’t approve it.

I do chuckle at comments like this.
Do you genuinely believe there is someone over in Washington sitting there play testing and analyzing every single game across every single genre from every single developer that comes across their inbox for approval?
They would have no idea what a lot of the games are far less sit there and play test them all.
They simply just have processes in place that need to be stuck to.
Doesn’t make it any less frustrating though that’s for sure!
I mean, we are at 6 weeks of ‘approval time’ its far from believable that it is still sitting there waiting to be approved.
They have to have failed a submission and resent it.

why do they have had to have failed a submission and resubmitted, why is that the only possible outcome?
Remember, this isn’t just a run of the mill patch they have submitted to push through like we had for previous updates, they are seemingly pretty quick and easy to push through.
This is an entire new mode with micro transactions. Bit more complex than just some basic game play patch updates, possibly even needing legal team approval from playform holders.

Theres a couple of ways we can look at the whole thing, either they genuinely are just waiting - which seems the most unlikely as its a very quiet time for platform holders.
Or they have had to resumbit due to a fail, but BA would never come out and tell us this, it also doesnt really change anything either way.
The matter of the fact is they have had far to long to get this right and blaming it on the platform holders is the biggest cop out. The platform holders werent the ones who didnt have the game mode ready until well over a year past release to then finally submit it.
You would think with all that extra time BA would have been able to know what was coming like the back of their hand, even submit it earlier than they did.
We all shouldnt even be in this position discussing this, if pro team was ready at launch like advertised.
Add to that continous poor communication since launch and a lack of marketing to tie people over and you have one frustrated fan base.
Maybe if other modes, e.g. management mode had some depth to it players would be more accepting but it gets a bit repetitive essentially playing play now over and over.

Like has been explained, the reason the re submission happened further down the track was most likely due to an update / improvement being made to the mode that triggered a new set of approvals.
They weren’t just sitting on the mode for 11 months, it got to May and someones outlook calendar popped up a reminder to submit the game.
Like I said, doesn’t make it any less frustrating, but if the resubmission is a result of the continued works and updates on the mode, then I’m in the camp of embracing it and would rather that be the case.

There COULD be resubmissions… but totally not the only possibility.
For resubmissions, if they were needed, they could be for extreme testing that no one could foresee… like crazy situations… like
‘you buy 3 bronze packs, buy a 4th but cut the power to your console midway through the transaction, Turn it back on after the next season ticks over, and notice that you weren’t charged for your 4th pack’…
Because it’s money exchanging hands, and these microtransactions take place, no doubt there is extreme testing like this that could require a fix and resubmission.
By the same thought… it might have been a single submission, and the platform holders are taking extreme time to give the tick of approval.
None of us truly know.

But it shouldnt have taken the 11 months. The game was advertised with a feature that wasnt / still hasnt been delivered.
With all this extra time for ‘continued works and updates’ it better be mind blowingly good. It’s a shame history suggests this is likely not to be the case.
Its been one of the longest testing phases ive ever seen.

100% agree.
Imagine open honest communication from day 1, people would be far more understanding and happier that the community feels valued enough to be taken on that journey.
Instead - the only time we hear from them is the 11th hour to be told bad news.

I’m very impressed with how NMFC have been playing the last few weeks. Absolutely very impressed with their footy 
Personally it all boils back down to no other games ever seeming to have this issue. Other smaller, indie games have gone through massive updates, adding monetization in various ways and modes before ultimately being swallowed up by Epic and going free to play (Rocket League, Fall Guys, etc), and they never missed a date, and especially not by a month or more.
Rocket League, even before going to Epic, started dealing with various licensed items and added real money microtransactions and never had any issues. They were big licenses too for a small company, Batman, Hot Wheels, Back To The Future, NBA, Jurassic World, Ghostbusters. These are IPs tied up with big companies with no doubt mountains of licensing paperwork (not a license for the league that already licenses the game). They added and removed seasonal entire game modes. They added (and later removed) trading. Big changes to how the game infrastructure operated.
If anyone could point to literally any other game and say “See, it happened to them too” then we’d be more inclined to accept it. But at the moment it’s like the guy that’s 15 minutes late to work every day because of “traffic”, yet somehow everyone else manages to get to work on time.

Summed up beautifully.
And there will always be those people who believe the guy who’s late to work every day cause of traffic…

What the hell happened 
Nothing has been “deleted” but things can be reported. If it was deleted it would be gone.
But after reviewing some, yeah they will be. Along with some repeat users who can’t not break the rules over and over again.
