Re: Why does everyone hate this game so much?

For one thing, if you have an alliance partner that is incapable of possessing a ball, is dead on the field, or does not show up for a match you are then at a huge disadvantage because you cannot get three assists and those 10 extra points per cycle that the opposing alliance might be able to get, AND it makes it easier for the opposing alliance to play defense on yours if you only have two scoring robots, because they'll have to exchange the ball somewhere.

Also, there are a lot of complaints about the fouls in this game, and while I agree that the value for a technical is a bit too high, my main problem with fouls is that they are inconsistently called not just between different regionals, but even in the same regional. I've seen too many times where a team is called for a foul that another team also should have received but didn't. This is most likely attributed to the fact that the referees have just too much to keep track of, and it makes it difficult to see and/or call everything.

While this game was designed at enforcing teamwork amongst an alliance, and does so, there is a lot of improvements that could have been made to this game.
