This is a good discussion because we are, for sure, going to find ways to 'game' the engine as time goes by. I'm glad people are exposing some of the suspect aspects of the game.
I watched Matt's stream the first night and am keeping my fingers crossed that what I saw stays intact come release day. I'm just so damn disappointed that I've got no Santander, no Sedan-Ardennes, no Red Star for this title. I'm just walking around in a circle not knowing where to go.
