Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
NFL 2K3
Fumbles and bounces inject randomness
Team Fortress 2
Random crits and spread inject RNG
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
NFL 2K3
Playbook knowledge and matchups reward study
Team Fortress 2
Class loadouts and map routes solvable
