Were you that one weird kid that enjoyed playing Blitzball?

>>12014202 (OP)
I liked the fact that it made random NPC's potentially useful. You might talk to some dude on a whim and he ends up being a valuable recruit. And it reinforced Tidus' backstory as some blitzball star when you went out and led the league in goals. So from a worldbuilding perspective it kinda worked.

In the end it was just way too time consuming though. I see why they wanted to have an open-ended number of leagues and tournaments since if there was just one season you could easily fuck yourself out of the rewards but honestly the rewards being randomized is just kind of bullshit. The only real reason to play blitzball is the reels so just make those the default prize first time around and make any subsequent leagues/tournaments for bonus spheres or whatever. People just end up soft resetting until they get it anyway so drop the pretense and just make it the prize to begin with

FFFFFFFFFFFFUCK blitzball

yeah
you can definitely fleece the ai by moving in certain ways to get it to go to certain points or just run the same thing over and over to win
fun though, i never really went around making 'the best' team, i usually just kept the besaid aurochs the same since i thought it was neater to keep them all in the same spots
a couple of them scale pretty decently (the goalie is really good) and tidus and wakka have protagonist powers so they work too, assuming you can somehow level wakka quickly enough to keep him along
you really only need one good dude though, everyone else is just fodder in the end. aurochs had meh defense so it turns into just shooting more than the enemy teams.
Still fun. I enjoy it when I replay the game.

I confess my sins.

I even do to this day, Father.

I even wished it had more depth, so there was a better competition instead of humiliating every team with best players.

I am sorry, Father.

Last time I played, I just ended up with four defenders plus Tidus and the Al Bhed goalie. Defenders muscle the ball away from the other team and pass to Tidus, then Sphere Shot and Jecht Shot bypasses defences.

it was one of the reasons people hated X-2 because you couldn't play blitzball, yes i know that minigame got replaced by a massage minigame of the girls giving happy endings for money doing massages.
