It's laughable that anyone here would even think a LT playing pass focus should be given a penalty vs a RT playing on run focus when both should be evenly matched in that aspect when on ST's. Seeing how STOPS don't play outside of ST's this really has no effect on them whatsoever to begin with, just teams who prefer to pass on offense shouldn't be penalized in the ST area.


fix ur tactics scrub.

It's not about that, Bane... consider the following. Once the game starts, you can't change your settings. And you can't have 2 settings (one for ST's one for your normal position)... so what happens to the dot who is a pass blocking OT who backs up the starter and also plays ST's? He needs to have his blocking focus set to "Pass" when he's on the O-line... but this isn't good for playing ST's. Having ST's blocking focus be something that is automatically set to "Run" makes sense just for that very reason alone. Dot owners will STILL have to set their focus according to their archetype and the demands of the OC or DC so peeps not vigilant will still have issues as you speak of... but just saying "take your chances with the dots" isn't the answer either. The Op is simply making a common sense suggestion here... not a "yawl is lazy and need help" suggestion.


set them to "no focus" then if you know they gonna play both offense and ST's

either this or just remove the focus from the game all together


for those that set their ST units to where the right players are set to the correct blocking focus deserve the bonus IMO

I understand what you're saying Bane... but my overall point is that ST's shouldn't NEED to have a setting. Unlike offense and defense, where you will have both passing plays and rushing plays and the defense thereof... ST's have only ONE play style and that is "run". The settings that we make for our dots based on offense and defense should be ONLY for that. ST's should simply be automatic as there simply is no need for settings. As it is now, I do as you think there... either setting to no-focus ONLY when there's no other option... or making sure everyone is set to "run focus". But I'm with the OP in that there shouldn't NEED to be settings for ST's... it should be automatic.

It's part of the game. If you take it away, then a lot of thought goes out of roster composition, fewer questions and options to think about.

If they don't change to run focus they get no bonus.

Why punish the ones that take the time to set to run focus?
Because some have not learned how to yet?
Because some are to lazy to?
It's not like those that don't set to run focus get a penalty, they just don't get the bonus for learning how to set it and actually getting it set
If its a pass blocking dot that is set to pass block, then that dot should either not be on the ST unit or just suffer the consequences of being set to pass block.

Next we will ask for all players to be exact equals because some people don't know how to build good dots yet (people like me) or have to many dots so don't have the time to build dots efficiently (again, people like me)

I think that blocking focus in general is a dumb idea being that the blocker knows whether any given play is run or pass. Builds should determine how well you do at each.

I'm guessing you bhall either just go around trolling, or are a bit limited on playing GLB. If it's the latter, just take a look at my roster/depth chart, it should show you some possibilities.

If I wanted to be known as the least qualified tester in the history of GLB id probly have a gander at your roster to see the 'possibilities' . Unfortunately I prefer to offer up possible changes to things that make no sense to the game itself, as such is the OP's intent. Tell a WL team how your gonna use STOP's outside of ST's and see how that goes on your next resume.

LOL. Are you so full of yourself that it's beyond thought that someone else can think of something you haven't? Tell you what, when I came up with the idea for my current roster, I figured others had already done so and were riding the advantages. I'm still pretty sure I'm not the only one, but apparently, there are at least two Agents a bit "limited".

If being limited helps me win. Then I don't want to be not limited. Whatever that means.
