Speed is king; a 70 overall WR with 95 speed will almost always outproduce an 85 overall WR with 80 speed.

All in all I believe Brooks has maximized what he can get out of the original code base and should do a complete re-building, a la OOTP2006. I can understand why he wouldn't want to do so but I also see very little progress from the last time I played the game (the final version of PFS) to now considering it's been like 4 versions now since then.
Still?!? That's been the game's fundamental flaw since day one. Well, at least early on when I first played the game.
