But I have to disagree here, the coding mostly takes less time than the GFX/Presentation etc, how will intergration help you with that ? By this I mean , if you have pages of TXT to enter , and the IDE is trying to set it out as source with tabs etc, remember the coder is only 1/5 of the whole development process (Designer,coder,Artist,musician,testers), and sometimes they are the same person !! This is just my experince , nothing more, intergration only helps to a point , after that it becomes a hinderence. And as for more software , first we need to create good software , how many more Fifa's can there be, next there will be versions everytime a play is injured pmsl. C -- Sig On -- Ppps.
