Re: What FIRST did RIGHT...

I like that this year's game and KOP makes FIRST accessible to Rookies while given veteran teams a raised bar so that it remains interesting for both ends. The targets are there to reach for.

I also like the extremely balanced scoring system this year. There is no bonus that is out of line with what you can score playing the game the way it's intended, ie no king of the hill (2003) or hanging from a bar (2004). In fact that's how you get most of the bonuses.
