@LokiHero I don't necessarily agree. I think missions are fun and personally found them a quite interesting to earn a few eye-candy things as well as them adding variation to the game. The problem was the many felt doing these missions were compulsory but in general having more options and ways to 'beat' the game is better overall. Maxis only need to make sure none of these ways are cookie-cutter or compulsory.
Well, to be honest certain things sound very good. I'm glad they introduced error in passing and crossing. I hope they remove finesse shot abuse as well as overpowered frame-to-frame contain. It really is unhuman-like.
