Why does everyone hate this game so much?

Anyone who says the fouls aren't a problem in this game need look no further than 1114.

22 time regional champ. Second most winning team in FIRST (behind 254). Have won 3 regionals in the same year a whopping 5 times. On the #1 alliance, they were eliminated in the semifinals at two events by a technical foul. At ONTO, their partner accidentally caught the opponent's TRUSS shot. At ONWA, they were damaged in a collision which left a part of their robot hanging >20" outside the frame perimeter. The robot that caused the damage only got a 20pt Foul for that action.

The fouls and field problems are breaking this game. Generally speaking, you should not be seeing matches decided by fouls during eliminations. By then the teams ought to have figured out what not to do. Anybody have stats on what percentage of elimination matches are being decided by fouls, compared to past years? I'd bet it is much higher this year than most previous years.

The game concept itself I agree is among the better ones, it just seems like its lacking polish.
