Really? How about the chance to, at the least, deny your opponent 3 easy scores just waiting in their ZONE? Getting those 3 starting balls out of there is going to be pretty important, even if you can't score them yourself.
Criticism of Breakaway:
Not enough extremely damaging judgment calls or extremely easy accidental penalties. Also, gameplay and scoring are far too understandable, and the scoring electronics look entirely too reliable. I've gotten used to these little flaws and quirks so I'm at a bit of a loss without them in this game.
(That means I like the game this year.)
I'm currently ambivalent about the seeding scoring. I can see the point they're driving at, and I think gaming the system will be rare... But the Elims are definitely a totally different game this year.
