I mean, there's been dozens of people that post with "great idea, can't wait!" while like 4 people are really whiny and bitching about 3 times per page

new archetype-specific SAs? should probably mention that in the OP.

I make up for my illiteracy with basic mathematics.

QB Scrambler
5'11" - 6'3", 190-230 Lbs
Major Agility Throwing Vision (+.67)
Minor Confidence Speed Strength (+.33)
Bonus SA's - On The Run, Dump Pass
Penalty SA's - Pump Fake, Turn The Shoulder

I am not sure making Turn the Shoulder a penalty SA for a scrambling QB especially since the Scrambler VA gives bonus to Turn the Shoulder I would recommend a different SA to get a penalty something like pocket presence or something makes more sense as a penalty SA.

also for pocket passer i would recommend pocket presence to be a bonus SA that makes more sense to me.

Turn the Shoulder as a penalized SA would be a bit of a contradiction, imo, too.

it's in the 4th paragraph. The paragraphs are short too.

and those people will still be building their toons.

Only now, if they want to build an elusive HB, the ALGs will help them build an elusive HB, while the Power HB's ALGs will help them build a power HB. And the better builders will rise to the top, just like now.
So why change it?

I like it.

Maybe instead of giving a flat bonus to the SA, make it -1 SP the current cost. So a player could start with 3 in that SA if it costs 1 SP to boost it.

Undecided in where to put it, you could put the SA at the beginning of the tree rather than in its natural spot.

A penalty SA could be that it costs +1 SP for that given ability.

Just thinking off the top of my head.

Also, make it 160 days if it is going to happen next season, boosted players at 160 would be at a ripe 35ish Level.
I would keep it at 120 days if it was happening NOW, Level 35 guys would have around 15 VAs and these players would not even be in their prime yet.

Verifying that these changes will create an easier more workable dynamic in GLB will take a long time and i am willing to wait 6 months if that is what it takes to get it right. If there is a mistake in there and it is missed we will be right back to where we are now.

You forget...one of those is February

When you build a player, you really should have a general to specific idea what you want them to do right out of the chute. Archetypes will help you get to the vision you have of your player (and his performance benchmarks) sooner. If you have no idea what your focus for your player is going to be, then this old system where ALG's are more openly spaced is the one for you.

You're right.

We're also going to be working on a special SA for each archetype - will add more info on these later (we're going to create a Suggestions thread for these and figure out which ones will work best). This will be in addition to the bonus SA. This idea is not guaranteed to happen but if we can come up with SA's that make sense and are balanced, we'll attempt to add this.

I know Deathblade and others disagree, but its a mistake to allow the further expansion of the over-reliance upon "speed" into this game. FBs aren't track stars, nor are TEs. The ones that succeed in the NFL are athletes, not sprinters. I find it especially silly that there are posts within this thread discussing "speed" as a ALG for a lineman.

40 + offseason is about 50. Which is closer to 2 months than 1 month.

Yep and I actually agree with that one - we didn't take into account the VA. Will figure out a different penalty. That's the type of suggestion I will take.
