I agree it doesn't make sense to online have penalties for the line, however I don't think Bort could properly incorporate any other penalties without destroying the sim even more.
so -1 for now, cause I bet if all penalties got added there be far more complaint threads than this.

-1 to removing penalties

+1 to adding the others

Dotball is still football (sort of)...why not have penalties

it needs to be all or none imo. if the line can be penalized, than the other players need to be penalized.

plus if you ask some people, this sim is already so fucked beyond repair, why not at least make it more realistic.

Why do false starts occur in the first place. What would prevent them from false starting, training certain attribs?

Vision and to some extent Confidence/Morale, afaik.

+1

great suggestion

Penalize celebration TDs FTW.

do away with penalties altogether.

+1 need all the penalties, and injuries

The problem is that they are called way to often in the pee wee level. Especially in the playoffs. All of these false starts are determining the champions. Give pee wee a confidence boost to prevent 5 or 6 false starts in a row.

-1

+1 never understood that

if they did away with them, they would have to drop some VAs that the only penalty to them is the increase in flags.

I agree that penalties should be added across the board and I imagine there would be many ways to implement them.

For basically all the penalties, you could have some type of roll that is based on any or all of the following:

-Mental attributes (stamina, confidence, vision)
-Comparative physical attributes (i.e. how their build matches up to the opposing player)
-Performance against that player during the course of the game (e.g. an OT that has failed multiple blocking rolls against a DE would be more likely to have a holding call)
-Fame (i.e. the roll becomes harder to pass if the opposing player has a significantly higher fame level).
-Some combination of the above

There are tons of ways to implement the other penalties, so I don't buy the idea that it would be too complicated to add.

Yeah I have to agree. Just had my pee wee team called for five or six false starts in our playoff game which we lost by seven points. Very frustrating. And its not like I didn't put a few points into vision along the way either.
