Warrior General Games

With all of what I've been reading about people wanting diversity in builds, I thought of an idea that might work.

Increase the amount of BTs you get from training your dots and no longer have SAs readily available as trees. You have to purchase singular SAs with BTs. The better the SA the more expensive. If you want Spin, Juke, Power Thru, Surge, First Step, Change Direction, Open Field Fake and Cover Up for your HB you'd be looking at paying a lot of BTs, probably sacrificing an AEQ piece to do it (or possibly 2 depending on cost and massive SA builds).

My reasoning is this...agents don't really want cookie cutter builds. There shouldn't be a singular right way to build. As long as things are the way they are that isn't going to happen and this will definitely create that. Also, would be the best way to have a Linebacker with SAs that were worth having since you pretty much have to purchase those as extra SAs anyway. I hate that current formatting for LBs.

Don't think it would be too difficult to implement, VAs work similarly except this would be from BTs. SPs would still add to the SA. "Tree" boost from CEQ would have to come later in the build than is current as well. Line 1 or Line 2.

Thoughts?

.....This do nothing to cookie cutter build, people will still choose the same SA.

Sure it does. Given extra BTs, some may choose to go a 5x on 3-4 abilities route to push attributes while only having 3 SAs, also varying AEQ amounts. Is a player better having 5-6 awesome SAs or 3 Attributes at the 100 natural mark? Is 4 AEQ going to offset those builds? Can you somehow squeeze a way to do 2 of those at the same time?

That's kinda where I'm going with this line of thought on it.

If people opt to choose the same ones then there is no harm no foul. This just allows the more intelligent agents to select SA's to better fit certain scheme's

I say a huge +1

This is an amazing idea. Not sure how it would effect custom equipment but I imagine you could select the given SA to be in a certain tree. I don't really see the downside with a huge upside

+1

Impossible to implement... Current dots would have advantage over dots coming up with this "choice"

Current dots wouldn't be playing against those dots so what's the harm?

Also, I don't think the current dots would be at the advantage at all.

+1

I think it would be really great for Running-backs. Being able to Customize their SA's more freely would result in more control of what kind of Back you're creating, or what kind of runner your back is.

To me, the big win from this would be on the defensive side of the ball. Save for a couple of positions most of the ready-set SAs are crap no one wants, ever. Just not worth the investment. You already end up buying several SAs. Like Linebackers for instance.

I agree I have a group of lbs that are suppose to be coverage guys yet have to use BTs to get the desired SAs or %s to be effective.

You would have to have the SAs not only cost more by quality but cost more by divergence from the archetype.

And have a sliding scale for the cost of additional SAs.

But yes, sounds good to me

+1

In the way I'm thinking of this, they'd still have their bonuses and penalties applied per archetype but still cost the premium amount.

Like the Monster Hit SA. Say it cost 50 BTs to purchase. All archetypes would have to pay that amount however a coverage Linebacker would be getting less with it since it's penalized anyway.

Would be great for linebackers. I'm not sure how to implement without having a significant difference between players with the old setup and players with the new setup. In concept I like it though.

+0.5?

As noted above, by the time those players are playing against each other it won't matter much or for long.

And "generational" changes are already in the game. Dots hitting plateau the last season or two are light years better than any of the older dots.
