So I'm out of the loop on watching replays like I used to. I initially made my WR with the idea of making her more of a fake/agi based wr and gave her open field fake, but eventually realized that they don't have a bunch of success. She currently does have about 7-8 in both HF and juke with quick feet, so she can still get some fakes off, but she just has less agi than in the past.

Before the season I figured it was a slam dunk to swap OFF for catch fake, but then catch fake got nerfed a bit and it became more murky. I've kept it up til now, and some plays have seemed to have it possibly help, like this one today: http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1213905&pbp_id=8508209

But then again OFF only can really fire when you have the ball, while catch fake can potentially help you on any route. What's the consensus on them this season?

OFF helps Head Fakes and Jukes trigger better when you're in the open with only 1 defender within 5 yards, at least according to the description, whereas Catch Fake is designed to basically fake out any defender within a certain radius to help give you a little space to be in better position to be targeted and have the ball thrown to you.

That's my 25 pesos on it.

No idea how helpful OFF is, but if you have high juke I'd assume it to be worth it. Catch fake now only seems to fire during changes in direction, which seems to hit its effectiveness down a good bit this season.

Catch fake hardly seems to fire any more, even when a player does change directions.
