  This game isnt even out of Beta

  And never will be out of Beta.

  My thoughts are that keeping it in Beta allows them to legally sell clubs with specific, precise, and exact attributes, while also implementing VEM and that "circle of precision". The VEM and COP are needed because without them this game (and scoring) would be sillier than it already is.

  At the least, they'd have to remove that COP if they came out of Beta mode.

  Not sure, but I think (just from my own experience) that the COP and VEM aren't as prevalent in the mobile game, if they're implented into it at all, which makes it slightly more realistic in terms of play. It's still "unrealistic" but much closer to realistic than the PC version. Again, just my opinion.

  (Oktoberfest in 11 days!)

  I'm already getting My Octoberfest, with Sam Adams Octoberfest Seasonal Brew. It's good, but not like German Beer.

  Prost again!

  Oktoberfest is special for sure, but, IMHO, the best beer is outside. I get my favourite Aktienbräu "Zwickel" (from Bayreuth) in the next supermarket ;)

  If i ever go to germany, the first thing I would do is look for a Pub to try a Good Beer. They say it's has a lot of yeast(Brewers) and thats what makes the beer special.

  That depends (not the Good Beer though).

  In the north, beer is more bitter from the hop, Pils beer and the like. In the south, it's sweeter from the malt. My beloved Zwickel is special in a different way: It's unfiltered, thus the yeast floating in it makes it hazy and smoothes the taste and the texture. Yummy!

  Good beer is a regional thing, different every 50 or 100 miles, or between breweries in one town. Of course, ev1 supports his local speciality. I am lucky to have two, Bavarian beer and Kölsch beer, from Cologne ;)

  One of the best I've tasted was in Bregenz, Austria...a local brew called Mohenbrau.

  certainly off P.C. for today's Americans but of a brew tradition of 175 years. Stemming from "people from Mauretania" => Moors (engl.), the word "Mohr" was used in German since the middle ages for many Africans of colour. I never saw it as a slur but I enjoyed sweet chocolate Mohrenköpfe as a child:

  

  Knowing that it's different elsewhere, I can well live with these terms.
