It's unfortunate your rookie year wasn't a year sooner, otherwise you'd probably have a much different opinion of this year's game.
FIRST Frenzy was probably among the best FRC games of all time. Light years ahead of Lunacy. And while I wasn't around in 2000, some of the older veterans around here will praise that game as the best game of all time. Ever since 2005, all of the FRC games have been very "one-dimensional", and lack the excitement of truly amazing games like 2004 or 2000.
