Pretty sure that's a yes.


So if Im a player this season, and I want a power WR, I can pick Power, and I will be awarded my ALGs that I missed out on in my first 14 lvls?

I agree too and it's on my list of projects so it'll be addressed someday, not sure when though.


Hearing that it will be addressed eventually is a step in the right direction

you're not hog tying yourself - don't get caught up in the label - well built LB's of ANY of the archetypes - will be good players for ANY LB job


This.

If we look past the label, the only debatable difference is the assigning of ALGs. Before they made zero sense, were unbalanced, and often times crippled build types.

You can still build players the same way you did before, the only difference is that now their progression and development will make sense.

If you want to change the way your guy plays half way through his career, you can still do that. You can probably do it easier with certain positions and the new archetype system than you could before.

I'll take you up on that, just give me some time to put something legit together. If you'll be ears?

no - there will be no reverse engineering - your NEW ALG's will begin commencing on your first level AFTER you've chosen an archetype

There was discussion of more O-Line archetypes, but the difficulty was in finding a balance (can't just have an obvious archetype that trumps the others at it's position for all purposes). I agree that I'd like to see a more pulling guard oriented archetype, but it hasn't happened.


Right OK, as I just posted.

The only way to make it happen would be to massively turn down the incentive to use this archtype anywhere else. Make the str/blk both minors so no non-pulling specialist in their right midn would use it. Or maybe that isn't the spirit of these, anyway, to have easy choices...


Lol all I really dream about is being able to have a Leonard Davis or Kyle Kosier pulling and blocking in front of me.

Since it was passed by the first time... why can power HBs be bigger than a running FBs? the average size of an NFL FB is like 245lbs... there's what, 1 HB in all of the NFL who is over 245lbs (and Brandon Jacobs is a freak of nature)? What is the reasoning behind a 260lb max wt for a power HB and only a 250lb max wt for a running FB? Le'Ron McClain is a running FB and he is 260lbs.

I'd prefer making a new thread, as I would be interested to hear it as well.

No, you start gaining them when you choose that archetype.

No, you aren't rewarded for past levels.

Basically is why a poll isn't necessary. No plausible idea will ever be 100% loved, but this is one of those things that is pretty much favorable to everyone.

To those worried about having to 'learn' a new system, it's basically the same system with positions (being split into mini-positions) having different majors/minors.


No, its not the same system.
This idea is to have two to four types of proto-type players at each position and make it super simple to build one.
So instead of a Darwinistic approach of trial and error by the agent determining which players survive you guys want to homogenize it.

This is going to change the GLB experience in more ways than you can imagine. The 2nd and 3rd order effects will be immense.
