Re: Week 2 Impressions of Rack 'N Roll

**Warning, this post is pretty much just how I feel gameplay needs to change from what I have seen.**

Overall, gameplay has improved a bit from week 1, as is the trend from year to year. Here are some things that I think a lot of teams need to improve on. It is just my opinion take it as you will.

Strategize strategize strategize. Have a cohesive gameplan going into a match. Each match is different so strategies may or may not vary depending on the type of bots involved. Make every cap count. Make sure ramps (if available) can be attained and not just are not just a waste of effort and time. I have seen so many instances of poor decisions by coaches in the past two weeks. Oh, coaches: the drivers are YOUR hands. YOU make the calls, THEY do the work. They are the link between you and machine. In a good drive team, drivers should not have to think, just react.

I have seen a lot of great defense being played and only a little bit of pick and roll. If the situation fits, help a bot out.

One last thing: I saw a little more of this here in week 2, but still not enough against the power houses....OFFENSIVE DEFENSE!!
All coaches go home right now and play connect 4.

Thats all I have for now,
-Henry
