I was tempted to build a slower rushing QB just so the blockers would get their first and go heavy on strength and power thru. Not looking to break off those 80 YD TD's but get around 5 yards or more by running over CB's and such. Just not sure if I want to spend the flex to try it.

i built my power rushing qb like this. But you still gonna get 80 yd td runs regardless.

I'm preeeeeeety sure Bort has answered this before, and the answer was "no," but I'm not 100% on it.

This.

i think this is one of those where "downfield" is the key word--with no line of scrimmage to start from, there isn't technically a downfield on a kickoff return...on a punt return the returner and blocker would both be upfield from the point where the ball was snapped.

The answer is "It does not work" for multiple reasons.

Which is why I wish there was a better "search" feature for information like this.

The wiki page has two search features, one for general info and one for quotes from Bort. You can find the Bort quotes under "GLB QA/ Bort Stalker" in the left column and clicking "navigation by topic".

Bort has said that it works for any player close enough to the runner and ahead of him, he has also said:

Question How does Lead Blocking work?
Answer: Vision cone in the direction they are heading that increases in size over time, find closest unblocked dude.

It should work for a back-wedge blocker if the Running Back is behind him and he is the closest to the RB.

EllisBell saves the day Thank you

Glad the Admin chimed in with the right answers

Ok...got a tag on question:

Is the new max level 73? I got a guy who is on a team with lvl 79s but my dot has gained zero exp since hitting 73...what's up with that?

you have 6 boosts at plateau which is probably where you are or you missed 6 boosts..?

Your player is 274 days old, so he's not at Plateau yet. He's just bumped into the Rolling Level Cap, which means XP stops.

However, notice my phrasing there: XP stops. That doesn't mean leveling stops. And remember, there's two ways to level up: through XP gains, and by boosting. You can't level up through XP gains anymore, but you can still level up by boosting.

I'm assuming you've already boosted 3 times this season, correct? If so, just wait for the end of this season. As soon as Season 31 Day 48 rolls over to Season 32 Day -8, you'll have a fresh new set of 3 boosts available to you, just like every pre-season. Use 'em during the pre-season to level up from 73 to 76.

Then, on Day 1, your player will hit that magical age of 281 days old, his first day of Plateau. And that's when your Plateau Boosts become available, meaning you'll then be able to boost up from 76 to 79. And 79 is where all leveling stops. Can't go any higher than that.

Got it?

That is my recollection, that a LOScrim would be an issue on ST

The admin already answered this question. Why are you acting like its still a mystery your trying to solve? O_o

Question What is considered a lead block in GLB?

Answer Pretty sure that's been answered before; anybody close enough to the runner and ahead of him, or who is specifically coded to "lead block," like the FB on many plays. 90% of the time it's the latter case that's important for skills and such.
