Ray... War Room Rumble sounds really good. Thanks for the suggestion.

Stoney... I agree your entire post 100%. The last couple lines spoke volumes. After reading posts, some of the new people in our hobby have come to believe that this game is being played a hundred different ways, and that rules and equipment change from person to person. When that's hardly the case. I'm going to start a new thread explaining this.

1) A persons comfort level with the style of play and their willingness to go outside this comfort level.

2) Rules that are put in place to either cover up a weakness in the their game.

3) Rules that are put in place to maximize the strength in their game.

4) Ego's

Most of this could all be overcome if Miggle produced a detailed rule book. Which would outline the playing this great game. Unfortunately they are not capable in doing so. Which is sad to say.

p.s. Old School, I love your quote... it speaks volumes on the issues in electric football

Wally, (First let me say) Thanks for coming back to the EF scene and posting again. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts and insights. I also agree with your post, but I think that the points you make are the way things use to be in our hobby instead of how they are now. Many guys in this hobby travel to play in different tournaments and some guys travel to play in leagues outside of their backyard. As Coach Stoner alluded to... the backbone of rules are basically the same. So Wally, my question is: "If rules, comfort levels, and how we're playing isn't the problem... what's the real problem?"

Just my thoughts,

Wally... That quote is the KEY to what the real problem is around here.

What is needed in the hobby is to have 3 classes .

1: Traditional, 2: Modern, 3: Simulation !

This is the starting point for the future of this hobby. We need to start hear,.......................and now !

OldSchool,

Thanks for the compliment. I've never really been away, I just went back to playing solitare. And every so often reading the forums.

To answer your question your quote says it all! Politics and certain individuals driving agenda's that are not in the best interest of electric football.

Somewhat like what we see in the real political arena. For example, I'm a Democrate and because you're a Republican you solution is all wrong. Even though the solution makes perfect sense. Just because your a Republican I have to say that.
