Does this refer to another tackler within two yards of the player with the SA or is it another tackler within two yards of the player being tackled?



The player with the SA.

will we ever see a day where the same play penalty on offense will cause the defense to "change" its patterns? mostly on pass coverages... not saying that they change who they are suppose to guard, but say they watch the team do short flat passes 10 times in a row, maybe the safety cheats down a bit.

Probably not - not an easy thing to code/implement.

I'm fairly upset with how fumbles are caused in this game - how it's too much about the "big hit" type forced fumbles and not enough "grab and rip" type by people who are skilled at putting a helmet on the ball or by clubbing or ripping it out. If you look at the fumbles caused in real life (yeah yeah, I know, not the NFL) then I imagine that more fumbles are caused by a good strip; we know that isn't the case in this game.

I know about Rip the Ball, but I think that only one "skill" forced fumble SA/VA compared to all the "power" forced fumble SA/VAs is absurd. I know that there aren't any changes in SAs/VAs planned for the next season, but is this part of the game something you think about or something you'd consider changing?

The main reason there are more big hit type fumbles is that they tend to be more "fun" to look at and make sense in replays. People would be really annoyed by their RB randomly fumbling the ball against his leg or from botched handoffs, etc. That being said, you don't necessarily have to have super high strength to get a fumble forced. A good enough tackle score can cause a fumble.

people are annoyed with realism? then they can make their own dotball.

If ALL LB's, CB's and Safeties get to "pass cover" close AND have an aggressive tactic to go after the int, why can't WR's have an "aggressive" tactic to go after a passed ball as well?

I just see LB's with 30 catching and CB's with 50 catching making catches so much because 1 of 3 things are favoring this:

1. They are already in the line of site being on a wideout like glue
2. They get the first initial roll when a pass attempt is made
3. They can come out of their pass coverage and make a chance at a catch (int) ball regardless of pass quality or distance.

Will we EVER see receivers "comeback" to a passed ball like they were in aggressive pass catching tactic? Maybe a time for a new slider for receivers to catch in stride versus aggressive catch attempt?


You'd see a lot more jumping catches, that's for sure. I can try playing with the idea.

From Catch's announcement...

--It doesn't look like the automated tools for GLB sanctioned tournaments and contests will be completed in time for season 19. We're still planning on doing somethings though in regards to that, so stay tuned for announcements on those.


Does this mean the current contests will be allowed to continue next season? Or will something be in place by Season 19?

Any plan on giving a KR/PR the ability to call a fair catch? Like a slider or something.

Are there any plans to extend the routes of receivers so that they do not simply stop in the middle of a play? It is a bit ridiculous when a receiver goes from wide open to blanketed because he just up and stops in the middle of the play.

I can post a ton of replays if you need further proof that this is an issue.

We never said contests could not continue, we just said we would not do flex prize transfers for them. That part will not be allowed to continue.

Come to think of it, that might apply to jamz' question about WR's getting open as well.

Randy Moss syndrome.

Any plans on changing how semi-aggressive coverage works? Right now a lot of people just play all-or-nothing with aggressive coverage because semi-aggressive has a tendency for the CB to "back off" right before the ball reaches the WR.

Guys doing a great job with the look of things o the site. Any chance in the near future you will allow folders for us to put custom defensive plays in? They are under the offense in packages and it's annoying. Plus when we make a gazillion custom plays it be nice to place them in certain folders.
