Just keep the communication going. It is a lot easier having discussions around potential issues when they are acknowledged and we have a rough forecasted fix schedule. I would suggest providing minor updates here, even if they are effectively nothing but "We believe we identified the issue for bug xyz. Doing internal testing and will keep you posted."

Two apologies in two releases in a row really speaks to the idea that something needs to change. Maybe a release every other year? I recognize and appreciate the increased transparency. A couple years ago, acknowledging an issue publicly would be mind blowing. Sadly, it feels like its just blowing smoke based on this year's release quality compared to what is being said. South Park's "We're Sorry" comes to mind. I love the 3d match engine this year. Truly don't even need the Unity visual upgrades based on how things look and feel this year. I can't believe the improvement considering I thought it would be skipped this year! The pace of the ball, players, bounces, movements, its all so good. Outside of the match though... Just lol. So many bugs that should have been spotted before you even finished preseason. Maybe the QA team only got access to the early access version the same time as us? A lot more transparency to that process would be appreciated because I can't understand how a fellow software dev could look at this product with pride. I understand finding bugs and then identifying/fixing bugs are two very very different tasks, but it comes across as if the community is the QA. Just some insight beyond "We have an internal QA team" may help. The game is great for the casuals who just want to build a super team and win everything with their gegenpressing. Bigger clubs and winning really smooths over the interaction/moral issues. You either have the squad moral to make upset players content or have the funds to ship players out and replace them whenever because an interaction went illogically poorly. I wanted to love this version but the matches themselves are such a small part of the game play... they can't make up for all of the other frustrating issues.
