It was DD. At that point, nobody knew what a troll he was, and took it seriously.

Pretty sure he did say it but if I remember right he said the impact was minimal. Sounds like a good Q & A question.

Thank you Catch. I knew I had read it back then. Being the noob I was I even put some points into it. Thats why I can remember it cause folks made fun of me lol

PK I just want some official word on what is the real effect of morale on a dots performance. If I've screwed my own dots by following Borts comments then so be it. But if I've been misleading others by quoting Bort all this time....... I'm pissed...

but we all know to never truly listen to bort.

"Blocking

If you plan running any kind of offense you're going to need plenty of good blockers. Blocking helps your player to keep his target occupied longer. For defensive players, knowing how to block helps you know how to shed blocks a little easier. "

This is a cleaned up version from a post a long time ago that stated things like the second part. This is why many people who made players in the first couple seasons (myself included) put some points into things like tackling for O line players.

A.) That's the Wiki.

B.) That was written by Digital Daggers.

This is simple, people. Find me a single time when BORT said Blocking will help defensive players break blocks. Digital Daggers in a Wiki entry doesn't count. Bhall saying Bort said it doesn't count. Catch saying he's "pretty sure" Bort said it doesn't count.

Link, or it didn't happen.

How to get your link. Go to any of your defensive line players. Go to skill points page and hover over blocking.


It says it there too so I'd have to think if Bort didn't say it it wouldn't actually be part of the game.

At least...I hope not

Edit" nevermind, you don't have any D Line players. lol

HA!!!! I found it!

most people think blocking for d-linemen is basically useless and therefore should never be trained.

Would you agree or disagree?

It's part of the break block formula. Not a big part, but it's in there.

Try asking Bort & Co. for some details.......
I think what irritates me the most is that GLB evidently doesn't believe that the game of football presents enough of a challenge or is fun itself and that we'd all have so much more fun taking on the challenge of trying to guess how things actually work here. This game has become a slap in face of any real football fan.
I'll just be glad when I've burnt up my flex so I can move on without feeling like I was totally screwed for investing in the promise... what did it use to say on the original main site page...? Something about "working every day to make a better game" or something?

You're absolutely right. We never give out any details. Ever.

On the contrary, I got somebody to finally find a link to an actual Bort quote.

Mission Accomplished.

I'd simply find it difficult to put confidence as the 5th or better attribute on any player. How confident is a slow, weak, no catch, no fake, no stamina dot?

He's not.

*However*, I am making OL with it as their 4th in quad from the get go, mostly to not deal with it later.
