Warrior General Games

I think it would be really interesting and open a new dimension to player and team building in GLB if there was a VA that reduced the penalty for playing out of your position.

For example: Maybe our offensive scheme calls for the HB to occasionally line up as a WR. This isn't really feasible right now due to the penalty. But I think it would be interesting if an HB could invest in a VA that reduced or eliminated that penalty. Another example would be using a corner back as a back up WR, or a WR as a back up CB.

Maybe there are specific VAs for positions, such as: Offensive Line, Defensive Line, Running Back, WR, Secondary, Linebacker.

This would also provide for some interesting dynamics if/when injuries are put into the game. For most NFL teams, the 3rd or 4th string QB is usually a WR or someone else form the offense.

edit: Maybe each level of the VA reduces the penalty by 5% for a max reduction of 75%? Or 6.5% so the max reduction is 97.5%? Smarter minds than I should be able to figure out the details if it turns out to be a workable addition.

Broken Ankles: This player is known for his elusiveness. Each level of broken ankles provides a 3% chance that a faked out defender will stay "stunned" for an extra tick (stacks so there would be X% rolls each tick until it passes for the defender to get up)

Got the Iron Man hat on I see.

Defense needs a counter to hard count.

Heebie Jeebies- A scary D-lineman can make the O-line jump. Each level of Heebie Jeebies gives a +6% better chance to draw the offensive player directly opposite of you offsides before the snap.

Lol. no. then people could avoid paying 300 flex per boost for the premium postions

The thread Ball Hawk needs adjusted and WRs need a Route Running VA IMO has been merged into this thread

Current Ball Hawk
This player has a nose for the ball. Each level of Ball Hawk gives a +2% bonus to speed, agility, and vision from the moment the player sees a pass coming until it is caught or dropped. Applies on both defense and offense.

Updated Ball Hawk
This player has a nose for the ball. Each level of Ball Hawk gives a +2% bonus to jumping, catching and vision on all passes greater than 8 yards

New VA
Route Runner
This player knows how to run precise routes. Each level of Route Runner gives a +1% bonus to speed, agility, and vision against man coverage.

The reason for the above is man coverage is way too easy and when you think Ball Hawk you think of a guy out jumping his opponent on a jump ball not some crazy ass speed boost to screw up the QBs limited ability to lead a WR or a CB getting a crazy ass speed boost making him look like a clown jumping a route.

Very nice ideas.

Ive always thought that Ball Hawk should just be a AGI/VIS boost, not SPD

Suggestions forum being bypassed for sake of thread getting more attention ftl.

Would be better if you were able to cut down (dramatically) a WR's ability to catch the ball in double / triple coverage. Also, raise the interception %.

I think the Ball Hawk change is perfect. Route Runner just appears to be a something unnecessary. The sim should be fixed, not add another overpowered VA.

That said, now that this is in suggestions, it will die.
