What do you think of the design of the game?

What do I think? I think Katy is just about 100% spot on. Katy seems to have a nack for predicting how the game will play out over the season and I think she may have done it again this year. Katy, thank you for your well thought out post. It is refreshing with all the "why I don't like this game" posts going around. I would surely give you positive rep but it says I must "spread some around first".

For the record I like the game and commend the GDC for the bold steps taken this year to reduce the gap between the rookies and the vets and toward the excessive defensive play we had started to see in the last couple of years. I pretty much like the GAME 100%. So far (as far as the ROBOT rules go) the only thing I am not really excited about is the mandatory bumper rule and for some reason I think the 75" flag rule is going to be a bit of an issue. Of course, I am still absorbing all the rules so my opinion may change but right now I like 95% of it. On the plus side the revised "tape" rule is great. I just wish it was worded that way LAST YEAR!
