I fail to see how that's a good thing ( forgetting about how inaccurate it is as well ).

Using our game to cater to the audience this, apparently, wants to capture, eludes me as a good idea for racing. There is a lot of great stuff in the game, a lot of great human interest stories as well, but breakdowns isn't one of them ( at least to me ).

I would rather be ignored than used in that manner.
I agree with this. AP shouldn't be using the breakdowns as part of the advertising. I probably should have worded my agreement better because agreeing with dean smith on horse racing is a bad idea. College basketball maybe but not horse racing
