Re: Human Player Skill

I applaud you for having your human player practice, but there are a few things to consider that I implore you to if you haven't already. In the alliance station there will be limited space for a human player to move. And he will likely be under quite a bit of pressure, especially once Elims come along. On the field there are going to be six robots moving at speed, with one probably doing the sole job of defense. Plus, with the towers spaced around the field, are you sure you'll be able to get the tubes the same way. I'm not trying to bash on practicing, but I am simply trying to help you udnerstand the difference between game conditions and ideal practice conditions.
Hope your season and practices are going well. Cheers.
