    I enjoy your games but please try and implement these things in time. Your team is doing great just need a bit more polishing in areas of Bass fishing.

    Gear selection. This is far to broadly represented. For example, a senko style worm can be presented in multiple ways. You can Texas rig on an EWG, worm hook or a straight shank hook, you can wacky rig, or neko rig with a nail weight. You can fish it weightless, or with a worm weight, loose or pegged. You can drop shot a ribbon tail worm... Jigs/spinners can be fished with or without a Trailer. Soft Plastic swimmers can be fished weightless on a EWG hook, on a ball jig, or with a weighted worm hook, etc. Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, Tokyo rigs, Alabama rigs, drop shot rigs... not represented. The effect weight has on what rod/reel and line are not represented. The power and action of your rod selection is not represented. All of these things effect the overall presentation of your lure and dramatically increase or decrease your chances of getting bit.

    Techniques. Picking up where we left off above, while retrieve techniques are represented adequately, casting techniques are poorly represented. I would have liked to see the ability to punch heavy cover... skip docks... etc.

    Electronics. Modern bass fishing is heavily augmented with advanced technology. Lowrance, Humingbird, and Garmin all have really advanced terrain scanning and fish finding sonar. Trolling motors are also an integral part of the tournament bass fishing scene, and are also very underwhelming in this Title. Bass boats have a myriad of cosmetic and functional upgrades.

    Lastly, Habitat. I find the fishing to be very, very random in this Title. Every Bass fisherman knows cracking the code and catching big bass is very seasonal. Water temp plays a HUGE roll in locating the fish, as they are coldblooded creatures. Largemouth Bass, for example typically spawn in late winter, January-February, in the southern parts of the U.S. and late spring, May-June, in the northern parts when water temperatures reach around 15 degrees Celsius. They spawn in water usually 0.6-2 meters deep where hard packed sand and mud are found. I would have liked to see a season system in this Title. Maybe a Pre-Spawn, Post-Spawn, Summer, Fall, Winter.

    Terrific post! Unfortunately, it looks like they didn't make any of the necessary adjustments in game before launch. I'm holding out hope for future updates though.
