There are very few games from large companies that don’t tilt favor one way or another. Generally speaking though there is usually some way around this and much more skilled players will do better, but joe schmoe after an awesome game will always end up on the shitter team one way or another next game.
As a designer who works closely with my boss, it actually works like this:
He does meetings 8 hours a day, 2hrs talking to me
I do site visits, design, meetings, solving problems, and 2 hrs a day of picking his brain so I can fit all of my shit into 10 hrs a day.
