"I don't believe Attention Points should be anywhere near as vague as it is."
I'd be interested in hearing a good argument for this. Something better than "shooting in the dark," please.
Spud here are the points I would make to this. Lets say someone did figure it out, or came close.
1. If they don't share this information, they are going to have an extremely significant advantage over others. Someone is eventually going to have it down. In the previous version, there were tons of notes and more than enough coaches willing to share this information. I never understood the argument that coaches were keeping secrets from new guys. The information was usually very easy to find as I was learning the game.
2. Even if they did share what they found, it's likely to be significantly more complicated for some to understand than it was before. The old system was pretty straightforward. New/casual users will not be comfortable with something that complicated, and may feel it is not worth their time to play a game where they are already at a disadvantage in this regard.
3. New users are going to come into the game and realize there is no way for them to learn how to get better through trial and error, because it is vague and somewhat random. This equals less retention.
