That is all you are getting for now, but what do we think?

 

Won't need one. There will be soooooooooooooooooooooooooo many more plays that you will have a good idea of how your player is doing.

 

I can't do a good enough rating system tbh. You guys get everything I get.

 

Why is it the shame about the lack of ratings? All this information you get, is everything I get. You all have as good an idea as to what is going on as I do.
