Warrior General Games

Another short and simple question:
Are players in PW going to be able to catch the ball in triple coverage in the coming seasons?
Also, is the DL going to actually pursue the ball carrier, rather than waiting until they get to the LoS?

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.

When you ask him something do you say "Hey Bort..." or "Yo Peet-uh"

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

What's the over/ under on that announcement being bigger than the training system change?

on screens, QBs throw into double or triple coverage simply because the coding of the play precludes them from throwing to any other player, or likewise throwing the ball away.

that doesn't make any sense.

is it possible to add some type of modifier to the throw away threshold so that that slider plays a larger role in the calculation which determines whether the qb attempts the throw vs. a throw away?


^from a suggestion I made.

TIA

What? What is the counter arguement then? Also, this was a question directed to Bort specifically......

If a player is at the "elusive" level 68 and the CUT-OFF to boost an additional 3 times in plateau MUST be level 69, why not allow partial XP boost then so there will NEVER be a "grey" area again...its a WIN/WIN.

Have you seen the numerous threads on this issue in the main forum?

I'm sitting right here with Bort - he doesn't have to answer every question. Yes, I've seen the numerous threads. We're still not changing it. Sorry.

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

so why wouldnt the avoid fumble chance of Mr. Reliable work as an anti knocked loose on first and second down?

Locking for a few minutes to catch up.

Are there any plans to adjust deep zones/deep setting so that the players (mainly safeties) could have an option (possibly a checkbox in DPC) to not allow a WR to go past them. Basically, the safety would always move to position himself ahead of a streak WR instead of falling into a m2m type coverage or just letting the reciever go right past them with no safety over the top. A safety set in deep zone should not be allowing a streaking WR to go right past them and then play catch up. Seems like right now they turn into a m2m coverage type set-up when the rec. goes into their zone and then ignores them when they leave the pre-defined zone or when another rec. moves into the pre-defined zone below them and they stop and go back down the field after the new rec. that entered the zone leaving the streaker to run free and clear with no over the to help to the CB. That's noty exactly a deep zone and leads to the "bombs away" mentality exhibited by too many OCs because they know how to "con" the safety away from the deep threat. Maybe a checkbox or something in DPC that says "stay deep behind any streaking reciever or play normal zone" may work to alleviate that issues.

I did some work on that recently for players in those deep zones on the test server; waiting on some feedback. They definitely don't always work the way I want right now. I don't think we need a special option. Players set to deep zones should treat them as that.

does strong base work on passing and rushing plays?

Only works for pass plays.

Could off tackle runs be a different % for the offense is causal teams?
IE
have the run %'s something like this
run inside
pitch/sweeps
offtackle/outside hand off,each being its own %

Since off tackle runs are different then a sweep/pitch out


Something we would consider - we don't want to overcomplicate it but a few more options would not hurt. Make a suggestion about it and send me a pm and I'll move it to the voting area for the new system.

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.

Yes, that is likely a case were superior vision won out and "un-faked" him.

Training system change was big?

It's probably bigger tbh.
