There's no explanation as to what upgrades do. Although, it appears that it's just making the round stronger, instead of increase fire rate, or bullet splitting or anything thing like that.
The ability to set the AI to prioritize their attacks would be awesome. Like attack large enemies first, or flying enemies, etc. Also, Annie should have some sort of attack aside from the orb. I know she's blind, but damn, the number of times I've had to watch her just sit there and die when the enemy has one hit left is just infuriating.
The one change that I'd make is to make the lifestyle things like sponsors and girlfriend relationships less needy. I keep losing sponsorships because I just want to play soccer, not some memory game.
I like the game, but my character has a bad case of sticky keys. I don't know what causes it, but he will just keep moving in a direction until I press that key (example, running right until I tap right) and it gets me killed every time.
