here's the link to where I found the quote from bort ... don't shoot me ... I just found it =)
http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=214729Yo ... it's still pretty bad ... -9% to some players skills is a big cut. -9% from a RB's carrying can be the difference between fumbling and not. -9% from a WR's catching can be the difference between catching and not.
Bort never said who the "SOME players" were ... so ... I think -9% is still HUGE.
