I've decided I don't think the game is really very good. All the candidates are aged 50 and they've not given us the option of choosing new candidates; for the Democrats where are Al Gore, Bill Richardson and Evan Bayh? For the Republicans where is Condoleeza Rice or Mike Huckabee? Also, the way the funds are doled out in the national races you can advertise for as long as you want in any state and make it competetive, i.e. Democrat could win Utah and a Republican New York. I never liked dynamism but now its not even an option in the game, its already incorporated in it. Plus I can't save games and then go back to them.
I agree 100%. To pile on more things that make this game disappointing:
1) No candidate editor. What the Hell? You can't even edit candidates in the script, because it automatically boots you out of the page if you try to edit it.
2) I finally got to the general election last night be simply removing McCain... even then I only got about 1400 delegates... barely enough to win. Anyway I got to the News paper endorsements and... only two of the ones from PA were named anything but "Pennsylvania --------". The Philadelphia Inquirer has its proper name, as does the Allentown Morning Call... what are those the only two papers in the state that matter? Thing is, I know what papers they were trying simulate... the "Pennsylvania Post-Gazette" is obviously the Pittsburgh Post Gazette... the "Pennsvlvania Centre Daily Times" is suppost to just be "The Centre Daily Times"... the "Pennsylvania Times" is supposed to be the "Erie Times". Then when I tried to change it... of course, you can't.
3) As Rudy, I obviously didn't contest in Utah, Alabama and most of my opponents home states... so what happens when I get out? I am down sizable margins in states that Republcians
never lose... and to Hillary Clinton no less. Also, by the time I get out of the primaries, the are
NO undecided voters. Highly unrealistic.
Anyway... Steelers game is starting so I'll end this, but I could go on.
The whole game just reaks of a total disregard for quality and a lack preperation that I have come to expect from the continue set backs and disappointments that went into the creation of this game.
Did I mention that I am disappointed?
