I have to respectfully disagree that this game is "bland".
As we dug into the possible gameplay strategies, it became very apparent that this game will play out similar to a football game...only with two balls
. Complete with a (probable) line of scrimmage in the white zone where the two opposing alliances are simultaneously playing defense against the advancing opponents while trying to move up with their ball. If the NFL is interesting...this could be twice the fun.
Many, many different "plays" started to emerge, including some that illustrated how genius the middle human player really can be.
Make no mistake....this could be one of the most interesting games we've ever seen (and I'm a game cynic). There are some crazy strategy possibilities that can can change by the second in each match.
I'm actually quite excited.....secret end game or not!
