First of all, I think it's funny how everyone bashed me 5-7 years ago when I was saying that WIS had too many games and not enough programmers, and now, never has this been more true. A lot of people, me included, thought that FOX was going to be the saving grace for WIS, that it would launch them into new soaring heights and instead they were just an iceberg from 1912...not that WIS/TK ever hired the most competent people to begin with...pointing directly at someone but won't say who for fear of banishment.
In all honesty, I'd be surprised to see these out by October 1. Seble can correct me if I'm wrong, but this isn't even being worked on, and if he's trusting his former right-hand man tinmanpb to do gratis PE work, then I would argue you're making the game worse as is, because you can argue that Paul killed this thing to begin with...hello Boston over Utah and the infamous Cleveland over Portland 2 years running.
I've accepted the fact that this game sucks and that everyone at WIS is taking the **** about it, but being lied to on top of that is the friggin icing on the cake. Mismanagement 101
