You know. This game was more fun before anyone knew for sure how anything worked. I hope that for the next game, everything is poorly worded and nothing is EVER explained. Not to the testers, not to the coders, only Bort should know how everything works.

Back when people would argue about how things worked people would try and explain how their Dive For Yards Powerback was going to dominate BASED on D4Y. The Powerback could have actually been great, but because there were no popup icons, the only times anyone knew if something fired was if it was in the PBP text. They would try and explain away why they thought it was X that made their PB so good, when in fact, unbeknownst to them, it was in fact Y.

Surge is chance to fire based on points in the SA (as well as the boost to acceleration). The tool tip is misleading. I'll put it on my to do list to get Bort to update it this off season.


really? I could have sworn Bort said different somewhere.

Would actually help any new users if the tips were worded better. So many are way to ambiguous and not much correct. At least IME.


and thank you Catch for the clarification from Bort.

Still the point of your OP is still pointless as it is still a pretty solid SA.

Thats too bad you think that, despite the evidence being right there for you to judge yourself. Those plays are completely representative of what Surge does...which is very little. Most of the time, the acceleration burst simply doesnt happen. Even if it does, its disadvantageous simply because of the timing of when it goes off, which imo (formed with a lot of evidence), needs to be moved back about a yard behind the LoS

Are you a wizard?

If you can't see what it does I am sorry. Many of us OC's absolutely love it.

Are you sure not just loving your power back for plowing people over and actually being slow enough to utilize his blockers right?

No I am loving watching the extra yards gained from Surge that the PB/Elusive wouldn't have gotten if not for the SA.

Is that actually happening, though? I haven't done an exhaustive study or anything, but when we looked at some of tpat's examples on his HB there didn't seem to be much difference in yardage gained.
