I'm not somebody who likes to go in and jack up the ratings of my Giants - but every year they definitely fuck up with some guys so I make minor tweaks here and there. Overall not a huge deal though, I get that they're trying to ensure nobody goes overboard to make their team invincible. What bothers me much more is that we cannot edit anything about the physical appearance of the players, numbers, etc. It bothers me because A) most of the rookies last year looked stupid...they seemingly all wore long sleeves, looked disproportionate, etc. Had an offensive lineman built like a wide receiver. and B) I fucking HATE seeing the Giants' retired numbers given out. I would actually scan my pre-season roster and alter the number for anybody wearing one of the Giants' 11 retired numbers...also I'd make sure nobody got #92 or #10 when Eli retired either. Nitpicky on my part? Maybe. Certainly not gamebreaking. It's purely cosmetic - but I do like realism so it kinda sucks knowing I'll have to just pretend that the Giants decided to say fuck off to history.

Maybe the Giants should do what the Falcons do and have a ring of honor commemorating the actual players instead of their jersey numbers since the player makes the number and not the other way around. That way, they won't have to cut a defensive lineman in the future because they don't have the appropriate jersey number for him because the Giants retire jerseys like hookers give up the goods. Fucking Giants man. Unbelievable snobbery. #Falconsfanstillmadabouttheplayoffs
