Not to let the cat out of the bag, but Ultimate ascent is the PERFECT game to benchmark against. Full field cycling ruled that year. Take a look at what the top 15 teams were running.

In fact, Ultimate ascent was easier than this game when it came to driving, because you could put yourself in safe zones when you shot. This year? Prepared to be pushed while putting the gear on or shooting into the goal.

Build a tank drive.
