i have 23 VAs to spend and no idea where to put them what about any of the new ones? is clutch actually that good?

I know it's still early, but does anyone have any opinions on the new VAs yet??


I bought one in coffin and one in clutch because it maximizes the cost/benefit ratio of them. If they are 5% activation chance, rolling a 96-99 on a rand(0,100) check will activate reagardless of how many points you've invested. The rest I'm putting into VA attributes for CONF and Vision since I think I have enough punting.

Sorry i should've been more specific. What I'm saying is that even if your new abilities like long kick aren't that good, putting 1 point into it if its % chance to activate will give you the best cost/benefit ratio if you wanted to try it out.

I put 3 into booming kick and have seen no improvement. We had a game yesterday where I kicked off more than 10 times. All my kicks were from 51-57 yards. No boomers...

I calculated the odds of you not receicing a booming kick as the following: ( its early so my math may be off )

You have a 9% chance of activating booming kick ( .03 * 3 ) = .09
Booming kicks should be 25% better than your average kick ( 54 + ( .25 * 54 ) ) ~= 67 yards.

You kicked around 24 times last game. The chance of you not activating booming kick at all last game was:
(.91 * .91 * .91 * ( repeat 21 times ) ) = .1039... = .104 = 10.4%

There is not enough evidence to say that this VA does not work, it was just an unlucky game. Can you report your stats over the next couple games?

I played my first two scrimages with 0 in Booming Kick and an average of 61.3 yds per kick. For me, booming kick should be around 76 yds. I kicked a 70 yd and a 73yd among 6 kickoffs. I went ahead and added two more to booming kick, but I'll keep an eye on this as well.

I had one kick over 60 yards last game. So it would appear that I got a kicking boost. But last season it was likely that I would have a 60+ even more often without the booming kick. Maybe Bort renerfed kicking for this season.

I would go Soccer star + Swagger for %stat first then Laces out + Clutch

Other than perhaps adding a few clutch kick VAs for my 3 kickers, I'm planning to stick with the ATTRIBUTE ones like soccer star and swagger that DIRECTLY affect your performance, instead of needing to be triggered by chance...
I was really tempted to go booming kick when I first saw it until I realized that even with 11 VAs in it, it would only give me a 1 in 3 chance to trigger the 25% bonus to kickoffs!
