Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 1032722, member: 837"] So a little dead time here between the season and recruiting. Figured I'd burn a little time discussing the game. I'm interested as to what people's thoughts are on 3.0 and WIS in general? I ask b/c most of the people on the GD forums just absolutely crush the game in general but I still find it enjoyable and generally intuitive. Here are a couple of my thoughts, for whatever they are worth: [LIST] [*]I find the majority of results make sense generally. I feel like people want the game to completely mirror real-life but I tend to feel like any simulation is going to have quirks and some issues that make it a little less than reality. When you take that into account, it seems like a pretty solid game. Not sure we have enough experience at DII to know if there is a big difference from DIII, but so far I'm OK with it. [*]One of the downsides is that it seems like it's tough to tell, at times, what makes a real difference. I tried recruiting specialized players for certain sets but didn't feel like it made much of a difference. It seems like if you got an RB with good speed, elusiveness and hands that he would be a better receiving target than a power back with average hands but I don't feel that's necessarily the case. [*]Some attributes are still a complete mystery to me. GI, for example, seems to matter but I'm not sure how much. I tend to factor it into most recruiting but I can't tell what effect it really has on results. [*]Seems like Form IQ/Experience are huge factors in 3.0. I wanted to get a ton of frosh involved in year 1 but I won mostly with juniors and seniors. Tough call b/c I'd rather develop the younger guys but I just think it's nearly impossible to win with young players. [*]Run/Pass balance seems to be rewarded in 3.0. Felt like all-pass was the way to go in 2.0 and there are all those posts about an 'air raid' offense but I'd like my chances knowing what was coming. [/LIST] Anyway, what do you guys think? Thoughts on the game and/or 3.0? [/QUOTE]
