Warrior General Games

There are big similarities between two moves in this game.
Both of them trigger based on an individual's ability to perform them, being lent to by attributes, SAs etc
Both of them potentially screw over the opponent of those they occur for
Both of them occur in the CB/WR dynamic
and both of them contribute to the success in a large way of the player in question

I'm referring of course to:
Fakes and deflections

The difference I notice between the two however is that while fakes have correlative AEQ values raisable on a percentage basis for the opponent of the faker, deflections do not have an obvious counter.

There is:
+% fake chance AEQ
+% avoid fake chance AEQ

and
+% deflection chance AEQ

Am I wrong to think there should be a
+% avoid deflection chance AEQ?

It seems fair.
%catching does not complete the same job, either. As we know, the deflection roll occurs before the receiver ever has a chance to catch the ball. Therefor even the best of possession style receivers (those whose focus is almost solely on completing the catch) can be deflected from on a simple luck of the draw with no way to counter this move.

And as per my example, if it makes any logical sense for a player to be able to avoid a fake, even from the best of players who are good at faking, there should be a receiver aptitude to the same extent to avoid being deflected from.

This is, in my opinion why the possession receiver of GLB fails (aside from speed not being normalized to some extent between players to a realistic level)

as person with a CB's and WR's, you make a good point.

It's just a way for Bort to get more money~

Again, it just depends on your team's Offensive philosophy.
Do they run-run-pass to the TE or HB and repeat throughout
the game, or do they send some burner's long and pass to a
crossing possession WR?

Your logic and comment elude me tbh

In my experience +catching% does in fact counter +deflection%

While the deflection attempt occurs before the catch attempt...its still a battle of statistics...pitting CB's deflecting ability VS. WR's catching ability

I'm thinking that higher vision results in a better chance to catch the deflection.
