Best 4 Year Game Career?

Say a student was on a team for a full 4 years, which 4 year span do you think would be the greatest to have been on a team?

I think the 2 time spans that have a claim are: 2004-2007 and 2012-2015.

Re: Best 4 Year Game Career?

Probably something like 2010-2013, but I think it depends on the team. I would want a more recent year due to number of teams ad an overall better experience. Outreach is highly team-dependent, so in terms of competitiveness I would say 2013 or 2015 senior year is good for a high resource team, and 2014 for a lower resource team. The reason being that 2013/2015 had a number of elements, and for high-performing teams the chances of winning were higher due to the skill gap. 2014 was much simpler from a design/strategy perspective in that it was possible to be a 1st or 2nd pick by an alliance captain and win using their strategy. Plus. intake + shooter was as far as the design went (plus sweetspot, strategy stuff, etc. but for inbounders and trussers drive practice for defense was more important IMO).
I've only witnessed a few games, so I can't call it for sure.

Re: Best 4 Year Game Career?

This year will be my fourth year and I'm happy of the last three... Even if recycle rush was not as exiting as Ultimate ascend or Rebound rumble... I think all the games were fun at some point and you could build an interesting robot every year...

Re: Best 4 Year Game Career?

Without question in my mind, they would have to be:
2004-2007
2011-2014

You could also make an argument for 2010-2013, depending on which game you liked better, Breakaway or Aerial Assist. I was a 2011-2014 student, and other than Logomotion, that series of games was incredible.

Re: Best 4 Year Game Career?

My team's best years were 2005 - 2008.
My favorite years were 2010-2013 (mostly for the last two years).

Re: Best 4 Year Game Career?

2011-2014 or 2010-2013 are the clear winning answers. I go with the former because I liked Aerial Assist. The latter is for those who didn't.

Re: Best 4 Year Game Career?

Some teams allow 8th grade students to play, so they get 5 year (student) careers. I guess they don't have the debate, it's 2010-2014.

----

An alternate 4 year IMHO that wasn't bad: 2005-2008

Re: Best 4 Year Game Career?

The only thing this thread is showing is the dislike of 2003, 2009, and 2015 (and a lack of knowledge or support for pre-2003).
