He was awarded the Corporate Endorsement from his Regional Pro league this season, which came with the following bonuses:

+1 agility, +3 speed, Fake chance +10%

Problem: There is no natural Fake ability on a fullback, thus the +% addition is a waste, unless you invest outside of your normal build to get a fake ability.

Suggestion: Replace the +10% Fake Chance with +10% Catch Ball or something else that doesn't require additional abilities to be purchased for the player winning the award.

Having the Scat archetype receive +% Fake chance is fine on the HBs, as they naturally have Juke and Head Fake in their SA tree, thus requiring no additional cost. FBs don't, so give them gear that is build/archtype appropriate.

I wish they would implement one that gives you a choice of ~3 options.

Cause I would love that for my Scat FB.

If a Scat FB doesn't have fake abilities, you are doing it wrong. That is a great piece for a Scat FB.

I think the OP is correct and you don't have to have any Fake Abilities to have a successful Scat FB so...

Like Doc said, Why not a Catch Ball % Chance for the Scat FB? Hell, for the HB Scat Backs too IMO.

Sure, give LB the option of Run Stuffer or Cover, DE between Speed or Strength, CB between M2M and Zone...it would take a lot of options to cover everyone. Just giving the Offense more bonuses without a counter is not an answer.

I said nothing about my FB having or not having fake abilities. Fake abilities can be effective on a Scat FB, that's for sure.

However, they aren't a part of the base build. An endorsement at the corporate level should work in its entirety for the player that it's awarded to, as long as that player isn't playing out of a natural position (I'm talking about the non-returner archetypes at KR/PR). Having Catch Ball instead of Fake Chance for a Scat FB would fit all scat FBs.

While I'd love a system where you can pick your endorsement gains, it's been suggested for a long time and we've all seen how far that's gotten. This is a simple issue, and a simple fix.
