I usually (always) have my DT on pass rush style combo. This states that the player will switch it up between evasive and power style randomly. Will Pocket Crusher activate on plays where my DT is power rushing?

We had that one answered already. Before the play the sim randomly selects between power and evasive, and then during the play if you're on the correct pass rushing style, any approriate VAs have a chance to activate. HOWEVER...

Do you really want to spend 15 points in a VA to have it be available only half the time?

Exactly, and it may not be half the time as sometimes you may get the sim to activate 7 straight Evasive Rush and only 3 power rushes (hypothetically speaking).

It is only worth it if you are committed to building a power rusher.

Thanks, I don't want to go Technique man and limit myself to evasive, I don't want heavyweight which will only works if you break the block. Since I already have 15 in pass rusher and bull rusher, I figure that if I get pocket crusher to fire i'll be pretty well off (for the downs that he goes power). I took 4 points from JTS that I'm experimenting with. JTS hasn't worked too well for me. Keep JTS or pocket crusher?

I'm surprise you say JTS doesn't work well for you, but I would stick with JTS

Good point, but there are many solid VAs that works less than half the time.

Would they still be solid if they worked half the times they do now ?

I don't understand what you are saying... It is either power rush or evasive... that is half. It is not decreasing.

Excellent point. MANY VAs are situational and work half the time. Thanks for the input. I'm going to see if I improve upon last game and if not, I will revert back to JTS.

I believe he's pointing out how some VAs that only activate half the time to begin with are structured that way because their effect, when active, is more powerful. So the fact that some VAs work less than half the time doesn't necessarily mean it's worth investing 15 VPs in a skill that COULD be active all the time, but that he's only going to use half the time.

You said there are other good VAs that work less than half the time right?

Would they still be good if they worked HALF of the time they work now ? Hypothetically ?
