Not sure if a better Vision roll or something else is needed.

But you see thats the gem of my idea.

Over pursuit can still be a part of the game, but it puts that choice more in the hands of the dot owner and less in the hands of the buggy RNGenerator.

I wouldn't use Gem and anything of your idea in the same sentence. for the most part the people that read your usual rabble like to refer to it as crap instead of a Gem.

So let me get this straight

Are you suggesting that real football players are automatons that are unable to decide whether to instantly dash forwards or wait a moment to see where the play is going?

Or are you saying that GLB agents are too stupid to be trusted with making that decision for their dots?

no I am saying that this isn't real football this is a damn game and isn't supposed to be exactly like real football. it is based on the game of football not the NFL, College or any other set league. so you continually comparing this GAME to real football is asinine.

and to answer your question on GLB agents being stupid. no I am not like you and I do not try to talk down to anyones intellect especially on a damn game. but I do think that the suggestion you made would make it alot harder on DC's and OCs since there is no way to know what players settings are.

1) This is an ongoing issue you seem to have. You seem to think that GLB should be to football what Chess is to Medeival combat. But GLB claims to be a simulation, not a game loosely based on something. Simulations are supposed to be as close to the real thing as possible, not abstract representations with authentic names applied to them. Its not assinine to critique the game in that light.

2) Okay, I see your point. But I think you miss the reality that the DC knows far far less about what the dot is going to do right now. At least with settings they can ask for them, and make suggestions about them in tactics threads. I think thats less frustrating and difficult than the crap shoot frustration the current sim offers the DC.

and again you go assuming you know anything about what I am thinking. you know what they say about people assuming don't you?

I do know that the game is a simulation but what you don't get is that this game will never be a exact replica of the NFL or any other form of REAL football. a dots movements are made by coding formulas into a computer and the computer generates what should happen based on those variables that are plugged into the formula. in real football a player has the ability to think and react. we will never see that with this game. so if you want more realism get off your butt and go outside and play some football.

As far as DCs go I tried my hand at DCing and decided I would rather run a offense since I understood that aspect a little better. but I do know that if your sliders were added it wouldn't do a dang thing to help DC's like you try to say. since the sliders would be just like the tactics are now. you can make suggestions as to what you want set but that doesn't mean people actually set them.
