 Posted: 07/08/05 12:13 pm ::: Triple Threat vs. WVGM |

For those of you playing Triple Threat...
How does it compare to the WNBA's former game, WVGM? I am not playing Triple Threat, but upon a quick read of the rules, it seems that WVGM was much more involved as far as statistical analysis of players and more involved as far as research in making selections (at least those of us who were playing to win, not necessarily playing for fun alone).
So...how do the games compare? Any preference?

| Same here! It's just too hard to rely on ONE player per day. At least in VGM if you have an off night or DNP for a player, sometimes the other 4 can make up for it. There doesn't seem to be any strategy to picking a player. Anyone can have a big night - and any usual good scorer can have a bad night. Thank goodness for Reb's vgm game!!!

| I'm doing fairly well at both, and I greatly prefer WVGM.

| Triple Threat has been different and fun, but IMO ... WVGM is much more strategic and challenging. It would be great if they brought it back next year!!

BTW, how about a ASG WVGM single play game?

Strange to agree with Admiral (except that we both think his avatar is hot) but I do in this case. A WVGM for tomorrow would have been alot of fun, but that it didn't count in the overall standings, just like the game itself doesn't. Maybe next year?
On a related but not important note, I missed my first day of the WVGM yesterday of the whole season, and fell from 15th to 28th. Bummed doesn't even describe how I felt when I realized it was 4:30 and I had forgotten to set my team.

The WVGM definately has more strategy than TT and makes you more familiar with all of the players. TT can be more of a hit or miss thing, but there is some strategy as far as when to pick good players during the week if they play more than one game. Then it's also knowing who the sleeper pick could be for a given night. But overall, RebKell's game is better.

NBA.com had 3 games going on at once before... And the bigger problem with the TT, is that since less research is required, you don't come away from the game as a particularly knowledgeable fan. You'll really only be familiar with the stars.
