1) Will specialty depth chart positions be added for ALL players now to help compensate? (CB1-CB5 to match NT1 for example)

2) Will roster size possibly change with the addition of archetypes?

3) Is there any thought of incorporating substitutions into this idea? (when power HB is in, so is strongest NT, LB, SS, FS... or the ability to place a specific CB on a specific WR)

I had more, but lost them while reading other posts.


Both (1) and (3) would be horrible for the game. If every run play an entire run blocking offense was put in and so was an entire run blocking defense (along with the same thing happening on passing plays) it would make GLB so so so so bad. I sounds cool, but it would not be cool. Tbh, anything more than the depth chart customization which is currently available (either on offense or defense) would be an absolute game killer....


So you are ok with your worst CB potentially playing man on the opponent's best WR? I can't follow your logic there tbh.
As far as #3, I don't mean you have to put ALL of those positions in for the power HB, but at least have the OPTION to.

I really think the all the positions need varying degrees of attention before this is finished. It sounds like there is lots of time so if this is only a draft it is awesome work. If it is a final product you might want to slap a beta tag on it. lol

Why are you doing customer service anyway? You have an incredible amount of testing to do if these changes are going to go live next off-season.


Because he needs to spend all day everyday for 40 days to make sure it works?

Wow, where do I start with this reckless overkill? How about:

Things that I find unbelievable
QBs actually had Carrying removed as a minor. Do you have any idea how good of a grip on the ball NFL QBs have to hang on during those blindside sacks?
Scrambling QBs have a penalty to turn the shoulder? How do you think Donovan McNabb starts half of his scrambles?
WRs still don't have blocking as a minor, and possession archetype WRs don't even have strength. WHAT. THE. F***.
HBs now don't have blocking as a minor either? If I had a dollar for every time some announcer said, "The key to any young running back getting on the field is his pass blocking," I'd be a rich man.
Possession WRs get half the ALGs of Speed, weigh 20 pounds more, and get a penalty to First Step? Do they at least get to start 5 yards past the line of scrimmage? My God.
FB Scat Backs don't even have blocking as a minor, wow. Why bother? Tag that bitch and he is useless.
Combo TEs have to be 250 lbs minimum? Tony Gonzalez weighs 2 43.
No balanced OL? What's so bad about well-rounded players?
Speed DL with a bonus to Swat Ball and Strength DL with a penalty? It's the big power guys that knock down passes, because they're bull-rushing and then getting their hands in the air at the last second. Speed DEs are down low trying to turn the corner or spin back inside.
Blitzing LBs have strength as a minor? Good call, Demarcus Ware and James Harrison are real pussies. Oh and they will probably be in the 2012 Olympics for the high jump, apparently. Because that's what blitzing LBs do, they jump really high a lot.
Zone Specialist DBs have a bonus to Super Vision, yet pump fakes for some reason in GLB (for whatever reason) have way more effect on man coverage than zone. lol
Zone Specialist DBs trade Jumping for Tackling. Let's hope QBs don't figure out to throw over their heads in those zones.
No balanced K/P? Same comments as for OL.
No special teams WRs? Do you guys realize WRs play a big role in coverage units at every level of football? And why on earth do WRs still cost 300 flex?

Don't get me wrong, I think the general idea of archetypes is good. But I felt that the original distribution of ALGs was bad, and it's still bad. Archetype the SAs and make height/weight more flexible, don't archetype the ALGs, imo. At least the old ALGs forced people to invest something into realistic skills that weren't as sexy. Now they'll just completely ignore football fundamentals at their whim. I feel sorry for the Coach class, these prima donnas are going to be a nightmare to babysit
