What TS3 needed more than anything if it were to have continued growing and developing from where it left off was a revamped, optimized, and 64-bit friendly game engine. Then perhaps there could be discussions about improving CAS, gameplay elements that could have been redone better such as running a store, fixing story progression so that it stops breaking down for those who actually prefer EA's over the modded versions, EPs we never got to see, hockey rinks, etc. ;)
