My expectations just didn't really match the final product. For what it is, it gets the job done. I just had a different expectation of what it would be. I do think the automate-whatever-you-want is pretty innovative and I think more sports games should look into it if appropriate. I don’t mean to blame the developers.

And yeah, we do dumb it down so he can play, but it's been a great tool for him to learn the game. Will he have a leg up when it comes to the real thing. Uh, maybe in stats.
