Yeah but the Preds could have beaten any USA team in the woods if the USA hadn't conspired and cheated them out of the win! And this was back in the day with the masters of the woodlands game.

Only way they could stop the Preds winning was to collaborate against them :rolleyes:

I played against the Preds god knows how many times and in their time, they were one of the greats, the important thing to note is here, the phrase 'in their time'.
Nostalgia has no place in true comparisons I'm afraid and if you want the answer to this we have to create level playing fields.
First off, both teams are equipped with electros.

On Sup’ Air, Dynasty would wipe the floor with the Preds, every single game would be won…..very quickly.

In the woods is slightly harder to determine but Nick has already mentioned the most important factors that have to be considered.
Dynasty are so technically superior to the old Preds, that it would take just a few games for them to click into woodland mode, the same results would then follow after a few games Dynasty would dominate.

People have already talked about the Preds teamwork in this thread but it is nothing like Dynasty’s teamwork.
Dynasty work like a machine completely dominating teams, the Preds were just not even in the same league when it comes to this aspect of the comparison let alone the technical disparity they already face.

Nah, sorry guys, much as I would like to knee-jerk the Preds into supremacy over Dynasty, it would be nostalgia rather than reason if I did so.
Time moves on I'm afraid and this sport has evolved and now created professional sportsmen and not hobbyists as we all used to be in the time of the Preds.

But if we were to create even playing fields where both teams had sterling pump guns, and were wearing Rhodesian Camo playing in the Rhody bushes down at Holmbush... with the original Predators, not the pseudo team they ended up as and which Nick talks about being beaten by Am teams on supair :rolleyes: .... well then I don't think it would be so simple.

Yes in the modern game Dynasty would win, but the Preds were so masterful of the 'old game', that I'm not so sure.

Hell if we were to go back in time 10 Years the Preds would have won for sure... because most of Dynasty would still be in Diapers ;) :p

Simon, aha, playing with pumps and wearing cammo, I didn't even think of levelling the fields that far back in time?
I think you may have a point if we were to back-track that far but then I fear it is more a property of the woodland game being able to break down team work than an indicator of who was 'better'.
Horses for courses springs to mind and with the example you mention, I am inclined to agree with you.

IanC...... Of that there is absolutely no doubt :)
