Firstly luck has got nothing to do with it. It was our jobs as players to find out when games will be releasing, this to me is/was the most important part of the game. The only parts of the game i put down to luck is the position you get to draft in which round and the actual sales of games (although that is part of the game as well predicting and estimating). But knowing exact release dates and timing release dates well enough to give you a chance at winning weekly matchups is everything in this game. And since you were indeed "lucky" enough to be able to pick a game like gears...then the consequenses of that decision falls on you and not luck. Also the match ups were posted pretty early on. That being said gears will have strong sales going forward into the holiday and its a good choice imo, but you dont seem to realise how good of a choice it was even though it was your choice ? And i can ssure you you will definately win a few rounds. BTW i messed up a bit on my choice of dark souls, i thought id get japan sales in as well. Although in my defense my options was limited. And then to address your suggestion of how match ups should work....well that simply wouldnt work at all for various reasons. Some games dont even release until decemeber in which case it would just be a case of picking games that come out early. There wouldnt be as much strategy in it as their is now in getting a good spread of sales across the weeks. Which is what i think is the real interesting part of the game. And if you look at it from that perspective you will see that out other choice are not redundant at all. My "other choices" got me a win this week and to be honest that was kinda planned :P Sorry if i come off a bit harsh i dont mean to i just think these things should have been thought off and not simply blame the game format. :) my two cents anyways |
not really i'd say its unlucky getting matched up against one of the 2 players out of 11 that could beat me when people choose early strong contenders as opposed to late ones
but i did mess up as i could have gad fifa ps3 but i thought it was coming out a bit later and i thought gears was going to arrive on week 1,my bad
and what big release did you come up against to make a difference,if you had your other choices don't matter,that is what i was saying,if you are unlucky enough to come up against a new release each week which you weren't and i don't recall seeing any match ups before the picks were chosen but maybe thats just me my computer was broken for a week in the draft,
