All the time in the world wont make your %'s any higher , unless you are playing at a really high level . Raw stats are pointless (as they are a measure of who has the most time), but comparing Wins v Losses, Kills v Deaths, K v D w/each weapon, W v L w/each character, Disconnect % are valid stats that a TOP NOTCH online game will keep and rank publicly. They measure your level of play and how much time you have spent in the game. A TOP NOTCH online game will also have a way of dealing with high disconnect % players, ie negative consequences and public consequences. Nintendo just plays it safe and kiddy when it comes to onlne play; they dont even try to make a TOP NOTCH online game | Do that and you punnish people who have poor connections. Broadband wireless can still disconnect depending on where you have your wii. |
Man, how old is Starcraft? 10 years now? It gave you a loss for a disconnection!
If you are playing on an unreliable connection in this day and age, then please do yourself a favor and get it fixed.
Stats keep people playing. It gives you a reason (among many others) to play. Apparently no one is playing Calling All Cars anymore according to a poster above. That sucks because it's a fun game. I wanted stats within a few hours of playing online just because it's nice to keep track of what you've done. I haven't played since because I got into Super Stardust HD which does keep stats that you can directly compare to your friends. Great stuff.
