If so, what is the difference between catch ball % and intercept %? We know that it affects different parts of the roll for CBs, but any more information would be nice since what they affect is pretty vague.

I know that there is extended plateau. What are the chances that maybe you extend players to 12 seasons before plateau hits and do the regular plateau period. It seems like people would be more apt to buy flex to boost their players for 12 seasons.

Can you Shock Block or Strong Arm while run blocking?

What's the big problem with speeding up player development?

When are Iron Man Leagues coming?

As I said - it's easier said then done and it's not a guarantee that we are going to do it. There are some issues surrounding player development acceleration that we have to take into consideration before deciding whether to do it or not.

No ETA on Iron Man Leagues but it's at top of Bort's to do list.

We're happy with the way it is now.

Any insight as to why this is the case?

...and will this move help improve the game overall/correct that issue or will it just further add to the underlying factors which resulted in the decrease in demand and reduced users numbers/player creation.

There's less active customers than when the site first started, which is natural for any game, and not unexpected. However, team demand seems to actually be pretty steady for the last 4 or 5 seasons, though. Just not what it was at launch (which made us do the wait list).

I think if people want to own another team and try to run it, they can go for it. It can only help keep leagues more active, tbh. Less CPU teams at the end of the season = less early promotions, etc.

The problem is with allowing agents to buy CPU teams in Pro and WL. It is impossible for someone (unless they are super connected) to recruit a dead CPU Pro+ team and make them competitive the following season. Those teams should not be "click to buy". They should be force demoted at the end of the seen before ctb is allowed. Do you disagree?

If someone wants to take over a pro team and try to rebuild it, that's an option they now have available to them. We've had plenty of people ask for this opportunity in the past.

Okay, so WHAT, specifically, are the issues? What's the big hurdle?

Or is the big hurdle that Bort and Co don't want to do it?

impossible is kinda lulzy to say...people used to be able to do that all the time...should be easier with the extended amount of players from extended plateau.

Do we have confirmation that "Bruiser" works "within 8 yards" of BOTH sides of the line of scrimmage? I can't imagine we'd have as many TFLs as we do if its actually coded that way--I sometimes wonder if Bort meant to imply it works from 0-8 on the PLUS side of the line of scrimmage rather than from -8 to +8?

Some questions regarding the 3-4 defense.

1) Why was a penalty necessary to halve the effectiveness of the Defense General SA with a random firing between the RILB and LILB? Why not just have it work from one position like RILB?, similar to the defensive line where there are 2 DT's but Line General only works from the NT position.

2) I think this was brought up seasons ago but are there any plans for the NT be granted movement over the LG during a formation with 3 defensive lineman?

3) Can you confirm that a DE can be used as an OLB in any formation with 3 defensive lineman ( i.e., 3-4, 3-3-5, 3-2-6 ) with a slight out of position penalty?

4) What actually is the out of position penalty for the DE? Can you at least say if it is MORE THAN 5%?

Thanks much in advance.

Offensive Play Creator... can I haz one?

Is this going to be a possibility at any point, or is it never going to be an option. I fear once you balance thing's out and address numerous sim issues, and fix SA's that defense will have the upper hand.

offense ALWAYS has the upper hand because the defense has to react to them

which is why there should be no OPC

Does your pass rushing tactic modify how often you revcake someone?

If you took the same beastly NT (no Technique Man) would he have the same revcakes rolls whether or not he was Bull Rushing or Evasive Rushing?
