Re: Well played GDC

The 30 point end game climb is the most difficult single challenge in the alliance era, if not ever. The requirement of only contacting 2 levels at once forces teams to reach for the higher levels while already suspended which is a real step up in challenge from the previous games that involved hanging.

I think the game as a whole is one of the most difficult made, but not the worst. I think 2010 was harder to just score any points period. The bumps were huge, the bar to hang from was high, and the rule against carrying balls made game piece manipulation a significant challenge. A large majority of teams became a box on wheels that season and couldn't manage to ram balls into a goal most matches, which was reflected in the high number of 0-0 scores. At least the season a 10 point hang and human loading frisbees to dump in the low goal are easily attainable scoring methods.
