Like others, my first reaction was that this game combined experience from 99-02. Sure, RAGE and others had great strategies then, but havn't many of their members graduated? I think this game will encourage alumni to regain interest and mentor their former teams. Also, those graduates who moved on to college teams will have the ability to strengthen their new teams with ideas from past seasons. Personally, as you mentioned, 173, 69, 177, 47, 71...(insert long list of experienced teams here) will have an advantage. Hopefully they'll share their knowledge and mentor rookie teams.

Good Luck.
