ok let me reiterate something.

We're not taking suggestions to changing or adding new archetypes. I'll go add that to the OP. What you see here is what you're getting.

let's roll this out in the next couple of hours then to stay consistent with the way things went in the offseason!

Bitch much?

Also I think the balanced back should have Speed/Agility/Strength/Carrying as its majors.

I think this is an excellent idea and rectifies a lot of issues that the original major/minors have, like no speed for FB, no jumping for TE, tackling/blocking on the other side of the ball, etc.

lol. You're comparing fb's getting 0 speed from the nat level gains to a balanced back not getting the 4 best majors? Thanks for the input. lol...

I like how there are so many people complaining about not being able to have build flexibility.

What about the rushing FBs that are currently being "forced" to build blocking FBs based on their ALGs?

No it's cool, I'll work on Speed when I hit level 56.

The only thing this does is give us ALGs that make more sense. Ok sure, you make a HB and you aren't certain what ALGs you want in the long run. You know what? ANY ALGs are going to be better than THROWING regardless of what build you're going for.

Not sure if you want a run blocker or pass blocker? Well you know what? ANY ALGs are better than TACKLING regardless of what build you're going for.

good post - sums it up well.

So why archetypes? Why not just change the oddball SA's and call it good?

Change we can believe in!

This is an awsome idea ive been wanting a wat to be able to alter builds for a while now so every doesnt keep making the same player..And the more realistic player size is pretty cool

Just one thing, is there a reason that Stamina is a minor for the Run Blocker and Speed is not? The extra Strength that the Run Blocker makes Stamina even less important to that guy than the Pass Blocker, and the Pass Blocker doesn't have Stamina as a minor, so it's a bit superfluous for the Run Blocker to have it. Speed is important to run blocking because if you manage to pancake the first man you need to be able to get to the second level.

Yes, it's because if you had Speed as a minor to Run Blocker it would pretty much eliminate any reason to choose Pass Blocker. We looked at a lot of factors when coming up with these, including how they compared to the other archetypes. You can still train and put point in speeds as a Run Blocker, you're just not getting an ALG for it.

Catch,

Will you have a Q and A summary setup for this thread? I have no problem scrolling through the already 27 pages of posts, but a summary would be sweet

because this allows you to tweak your player by selecting a major/minor attribute package.

I do think that custom slots for almost every position will be needed now to be able to take full advantage.

I asked Bort about that a couple weeks ago - NGTH.

Then I'm not so happy now. I feel like this is a step in the right direction with builds, now to be able to maximize them would be the way to complete the task.

Realism of a rushing QB? And you want to make rushing QBs even scarier in terms of speed/agility?

That's one of the "grr" type things in GLB right now, although the scrambling QB will still make a functional rushing QB.

Seriously I think it's a great idea. A lot of people of complaining but the greatest about this it's that crappy agents will still make crappy players. lol

I do like this a lot.... but, heres my whine line for this....

Players created s10-s11 keep getting it up the shoot a little further each season....

Discussed - shot down for a multitude of reasons.
