Re: FRC Blog - How We’re Doing and FIRST Babies

I don't necessarily believe we're mad at the attempt GDC made. It's a bold attempt, I like that. I love the strategic complexity of the game. If I was mentoring a team right now I'd mention a lot of things.

But the idealized, theoretical way that GDC probably envisioned this game and how it actually plays out are two very different things in my eyes.

As has been said before, sports style games are fun, but remember that modern sports and their rules are backed by decades (Some centuries) of observation.

I also fully support *respectfully* criticizing aspects of the game and GDC decisions. There's a difference. We can be harsh towards the GDC.
