[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5506419, member: 54877"] Yep, 4E does a pretty lousy job of simulating 3E, and vice versa. But wait, there's more! Both of them do a fairly lousy job of simulating 2E, 1E, Basic, or any other variation there of you could name. I'd say that 4E does a slightly better job of simulating Basic than 3E, whereas 3E does a slightly better job of simulating 1E or 2E--but both the later ones are still lousy at simulating the earlier ones. That with 2E you can do a fair impersonation of 1E and vice versa, may have confused expecations on this issue. And it didn't help any (as far as confusion) that there were some popular styles of playing Basic, 1E, and 2E that translated fairly well. It hid the fact that, looked at objectively, the advanced versions did not simulate basic well, across the board. :mad: [/QUOTE]
