Warrior General Games

Remember when I complained about double blocking and some one said "you can't run through a dot" was the reason?

Yes you can

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=2011034&pbp_id=7963600

This ILB runs straight through a LT and HB, both blockers to make the TFL - he is not even slowed down by this coexistance with the matter of the blockers.

Blocking needs to be fixed. Thats just ridiculous.

Or, if Blocking is working as intended then the graphics of the replays need to be improved to better show players how these magical interactions happen so that they do not ragequit over them.

I mean its just one play but boy thats irksome.

Post play in Bugs forum...

I am fairly positive its not a bug.

Probably the end verdict...I dont like looks of that too. Almost as if 3 dots missed Vision checks.
Makes more sense as a bug thread though.

Half of the game features make more sense as bug threads, lol.

My problem here is vision checks or no, you don't run through a thorn bush without slowing down. Even if these guys totally sucked they would have slowed them down or caused him to go around, even if he pancaked em which he clearly didnt.

I see it happen alot since last week.

+1: dots need to show where they are.
dots need to take up space based upon their size/weight.

right now, the game just looks silly (after 20+ seasons to fix) with dots running over each other and the excuse has always been 'well, those dots are not really where they look like.'

Think about scale here. If the dots were the proper size, one of two complaints would run rampant.

Either folks would complain that the dots were too small, because their field of vision was wide, or they'd complain that the could not see enough of the field, because their field of visions was too narrow. The current graphics (IMO) have a reasonable balance of scale. I just have to remember that my QB is not 4 feet wide I focus more on the movement of the dots rather than their position on the field.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

So check out the play and tell me how the movement makes it seem right.....

Looks like he climbs over them. That is a particularly bad play. Might be wise to take it to bugs, see what they say.

doobas™

RT looks like he's still headed to his waypoint -- HB looks like he trys to stop and make a block, and whiffs.

But -- it is silly to try and make any type of determination with just one replay. Show us the same play vs the same or similar defenses and point out the pattern -- then take it to Bugs

Peace,
