Re: Was Aerial Assist Better than Ultimate Ascent?

Personally I really enjoyed this game. Definitely one of my favorites, up there with '05 and '07. The strategy of the game was incredible. I like control-type games which typically refers to arm games but this year you really had to control the ball and get it from bot to bot/hp to goal. Yes with sub-par teams the game can look like little league soccer, but that's because passing the ball is hard. These games aren't supposed to be easy. Adding a safe zone or a 2nd ball would have just diluted the game and reverted back to the same old thing of the best teams just go do their own thing to win. Maybe this year taught more teams the value of working together.

Last year pre-match strategy consisted of "Where do you line up in auto?" and "What loading slot do you want?" Not the most exciting game in the world.
