It's a bit too late for a "Trick up their sleeve", not to mention that would imply they were ready for this kind of thing. They'd have to have a magic trick of the century at this point.

At this point I'd have to describe anything that could save this game as a trick up their sleeve. It would have to be a major "we knew and this was going to be the answer all along" kind of moment in history. Otherwise......I just dont see this being fixed with little patches here and there. And the lack of creativity all around (if there isnt a game changing "trick") just means anything we've yet to see will probably be more of the same.
