Angry Re: FIRST Frenzy Opinion Thread

Hmm, Thumbs Down

I liked the game a lot, untill they mentioned the thing where all four teams get the losers score.

Where in the world is the motivation to do win? Even if you win ever single match, you could lose a spot in the top 8 because other teams were placed, with FIRST's oh-so-random match choosing, with very good teams.

And, the final matches are both complicated and confusing. Why have a point system? Isn't a win a win? Why make it 2 points for win, 0 points for lose, 1 for tie. Isnt it the same thing? If you win twice, dont you win!? Even win once, tie second. You still won.

As a driver, i like the feeling of competing against another team. I would rather not work with my opponent to achieve a higher score. All the exciting things will be left to the end; who can get up on the bar, and who can move the 2x multiplier. This equals a boaring game in my mind.
