Warrior General Games

How much of an effect does Carrying have on clean catches on picks, and the ability of the defender to start his return quicker? I know with Offensive players it allows them to continue moving better while securing the catch (or so it was a long time ago when I paid much more attention to the intricacies of the physics involved).

Does it have the same effect on Defensive players making INTs. If so, some of the guys that didn't take a break from the game for about 10 seasons like I did, what's a good recommendation for Carrying if you want your defender to start his returns quick enough to be productive?

Better use of SP and training than using them on carrying for a defender, no matter what his purpose

8 carrying is ideal.

you cant KL a defender, so carrying is pointless and when you are returning the ball, the 8 tackling skill from the offense should prevent you from fumbling... it would be a gigantic waste

Less is better.

AGL helps you get moving quicker, once you have the ball - especially if the dot fell down to make the catch

I find these things to be truth.

Thank you all for your responses, this is the reason I posted it in here, figured Carrying might be a waste, but wanted to make sure first.

I actually have seen an interceptor fumble.

The interception stopping the opposing offense dead is much more beneficial than whatever return yards you get out of it.

Do you have a link please jd ?

I asked the question a while ago with these responses - http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=5105027 but I would be interested seeing a more recent example.

so have i, but he wont get KL'd and you cant tell me you'd invest points in a carry skill for a CB so that doesnt happen... id take my chances 8 tackling vs 8 carry, it just happened to be a blocking TE in on the play, his high str probably forced the fumble... but chances are once you intercept the ball you are going to be chased by faster WR's with lower str... richey just happened to have a blocking TE in on the pass play. Most (not all) teams will have receiving TE's in. I'd take my chances with 8 carry

in most cases you intercept the ball and get tackled immediately since Bort nerfed the pick 6 craze

Your best bet is to never make an INT DB to begin with.
