Wow! Long time, no post for me. However, I must say that I think this is definitely the best game since 2006 (I'll have to wait and see some matches played before I decide that it's better than the 2004, 2005, or 2006 games).
Last year's game was - quite frankly - unexciting (although some elimination matches got me tensed up). I like this game because it will be easy to judge the progression of the match (i.e. who is winning) as a spectator in the stands, and I like how the GDC decided to shake things up with the slick surface and kit wheel requirement. The idea of trying to score balls into trailers attached to the opposing alliance's robots will certainly make for some exciting plays. Another plus about this game is the fact that there are no penalties which are TOO easy to incur.
I have seen many FIRST games played out over the years, and trust me - every game will grow on you. Give Lunacy a chance!
