Re: Ultimate Ascent Catalyst DBS 2013 Simulation Game

It's an admirable effort but is riddled with issues. A few of our students played it with Xbox controllers for a while but noticed that the majority of rules aren't properly implemented. Penalties don't seem to be calculated at all - you can easily score 30 points on the opposite alliance's pyramid, or interrupt them in their feeding zone, with no consequences (perhaps some of these will be fixed in a future update?) I think there are better ways to gain an understanding of the game.
