Warrior General Games

List of abilities worthwhile:

1) Workout warrior +1% Str
2) Great Blocking +1% Blk
3) Quick - +1% Agi
4) Clutch - 3rd/4th down 'bonus'
5) Red Zone Freak - 5% chance of a +5% attribute raise in red zone
6) Second wind - +2 energy refill for 4th quarter

One interesting fact is that the percentages are added to the base attribute, so that for a G with (say) 73 Blk, 73 Str, 60 Agi, adding 1% to Agility instead of Str/Blk is only a 0.13 difference in attribute gain - so it is possibly worth doing this.

Anyway, please add the abilities I've missed, and rank them.

For me 2 >>> 1 > 3 >> 6 >> 5 = 4

Do you think it's worth adding 15% to blocking immediately?

Well one thing is that going over 100 of anything, including equip, might not mean much. So if you've got 73 blk, +15% = damn where's my calculator 73 + 7.3 + 3.5 + 0.15 = 83.95? Okay, then a few natural gains, and your equip and you're looking at 100 blocking basically, and pretty darn soon. So that's not a problem I guess.

Anyway..

1,2,3 are all fine. Doing agility is smart though less valuable, still can get you high without having to spend 3:1 then.

6 is stupid, +2 energy is nothing.

5 seems bad too

4... clutch isn't so bad. It's just.. how often does the G make the difference between converting that 3rd down and not? You'd almost need the entire o-line to agree to pump it up.

2 is nothing. But maxing it to 15 means you get back 30 energy. If a player ends the game at 60 energy (which seems to be the acceptable standard for most) you use 40 energy in a game, roughly 10 per quarter. So you'll be starting the 4th at 100% again. Sounds more useful now.

My guys are gonna be systematic.

1. Max Workout Warrior to bonus STR to 90-100. Shift EQ to BLK
2. Max Great Blocker to bonus BLK to 90-100. Shift EQ to AGI
3. Max Quick to bonus AGI to 70-80. Shift EQ to Stamina
4. Bash in D-Line!

Ah right, compound +30 energy is pretty sweet.

That's a lot of cash to keep switching it around, packman But makes sense ofc.

Not sure what I'm going to do yet, probably wont decide until I do my boosts for next season

well, most of my guys have a decent AGI/BLK already, so I could just go straight to STA. (or whever else I want).

and I agree that the Second Wind is pretty nice!

thats not how energy works
the energy you see at the end of the game is END game energy
that means if you played a lot in the final 4 minutes but only 30 total plays, you end the game with a low end game energy
if you played 60 total plays but none in the final 4 minutes you likely will end with higher end game energy

I'm coming round to the idea.

Also, if you have Stamina capped, to raise it requires 2 SP. Possibly it is better spending the SP elsewhere and using Second Wind instead.

Haven't done any sort of maths on this though.

I like 6>2>4.
These seem to help the team the most.

30 energy is a lot. If my players already dominate a bonus of 15% to blocking is nothing compared to keeping them fresh the entire game. I also like Clutch a lot because people commonly play their starters then, and logically it would affect a little under a fourth of the game, and under half of my player's playing time... probably the more important plays, too.

Any thoughts on Thick Skin for an offensive tackle dealing with defensive linemen with intimidation skills?

I thought intimidation skills are used against the QB, not the offensive line.
