Sorry if this has been asked already, but is fixing the timeout logic on the radar of things to do soon? This is long overdue imo. It is so frustrating to not have defensive timeouts called in many situations where they should be, to have offensive timeouts used in situations where you'd rather keep the clock going, and to not be able to save one timeout for the end of the half to kick a FG with too little time for the opponent to answer with a drive of their own.
At Mat McBriar's request, I put together a comprehensive list of situations when timeouts should be used... have you guys kept that around on an admin forum somewhere?

Do you still have that list? If so, please send it to me via pm.

Would you consider the fact that NTs/DTs rarely ever break free to record a sack, hurry or tackle working as intended?

It seems like all linemen are loading up with Str/Agil/Speed and minimal tackling/vision.

Maybe a tackle radius bonus for those guys while blocked? They're so fat that they can move off and close a hole?

Middle d line guys don't really get many sacks in real life either; a lot of times they are getting double teamed or blocked by a big fat center. Seems like giving them a tackle radius bonus would make runs up the middle never work?

Probably true.

Just thinking 'out loud' on ways to make them more than 'place holders' or ways to differentiate builds (reasons to spend in attributes other than STR/Agil/Speed) in linemen.

Probably not an easy thing to tackle, without making something overpowered or broken.

At what point does the PBP decide to say that the QB was hurried? Is it only after reaching a certain threshold? Does the effect of the hurry increase considerably when past that threshold? Can the QB still be affected by hurry pressure even if a "hurry" doesn't show up in the PBP?

Yes, when it reaches a certain threshold and there's an unblocked player coming in. Yes, there's an increased chance of bad throws when there is an official hurry. Yes, pressure can still affect him even without a recorded hurry. It lowers his rolls when checking if he throws a bad pass, etc.

Will there be a buff to Turn the Shoulder anytime soon? I am on a team with a top notch QB (with a great build) who gets sacked a lot and it doesn't really seem to fire much.

Not planned - would need to evaluate it before ever buffing it.

No, SV usually works in such a way that it's a "safety" fallback. The player fails the anti-fake roll, and then he gets a roll vs his super vision ability to nullify the fake out or make it last less time.

So (and this isn't a stealth brag), would this be an example of a play where he probably did that? http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1369516&pbp_id=10995931

I ask because I've been hearing a lot recently about how SV is overrated, but if it means going from getting pump faked to making an INT, I'll keep taking it to 10.

Probably soon considering all the big announcements I'm about to make.

Wade Phillips would also like this list.

And Andy Reid.

I have a question about how "Coverage Style" effects a DB's play.

Is a player set to go for more interceptions somehow given a nerf in his stats during the pass play or is he just more likely to "stop" and face an agility roll after attempting an interception.

Following up, would a player then set to go for the pass deflection and NOT the interception then be less likely to face this roll (or face a less hard nerf?)

and finally, does that mean that someone "playing it loose" will not go for a PD and will essentially let the receiver catch the ball just to avoid the "stop" chance or do they receive some sort of boost over those using the other styles?

Does "over the top" help consider double man coverage of all players, just ones placed "above" the other db, or only with deep zone coverages?

Do tell more.

Can the defense have its own set of AI packages folder? Have an offensive AI package folder and a defensive AI package folder? They have their own AI's and stuff. Makes sense.

Is this from that really old Bort quote circa season 3, or is this something he told you tonight?

Something he told me tonight. I'm sitting right next to him.

wait a second...you said in another Q&A that avoid fumble works as an anti knocked loose function.

It does; there are specific bonuses to knocked loose as well.

kind of along the same lines, but alot simpler: does playing on aggressive give a penalty to the deflection roll?

would 'medium' coverage style help against pump fakes?
