But of course!
I am comparing the two games by the level needed to acheive a particular in-game or quest goal, and the difficulty, at least for some people, in trying to reach that next level goal. In other words, think of the difference between 240,000 and 280,000 points in the old game, and 6,500 and 7,500 points in the new game. Remember the feeling of trying to reach a certain threshold, but never quite making it? It was a common complaint, and it still is today, for many people trying to reach a certain fireworks level. People who can average, say 200,000-240,000 points in the old game may have had some difficulty reaching the 280,000 level. And likewise, in today's version of the game, I would say that people who can average 5,000-6,500 points a game may struggle a bit to try and reach 7,500.
Also, I have the yellow car, but I do not have the green car, so I think I know what I am talking about. And it is not from lack of trying, LOL! I know it can be done, but it takes a lot of time, practice, and skill
