Us as players attempt to rationalize dev decisions. However, it is important to understand their words, or Jargon.

"Using jargon makes your communication more specific."

When they use "Limitations" or "Coding" it means they have no plans to do what you are asking. Before it was PS2 limitations, now those limitations are attached to the code.

Devs are only limited by what they are willing to spend, on what they are willing to do.

They are not willing to spend much on XI, because they actually killed it off when it was the most profitable title in the series. If that is not saying "Screw XI" I don't know what is.....

....Still won't stop me from asking for stuff lol.
